So was anyone ever there?
-
I don't know... I tried it... and hated it. Seemed pretty rough to get started and noone was around. That was a few betas ago though.
-
just played some Target Rabul stuff for an hour or so.
IMO AH is still 100 miles ahead.
looks like a promising sim give it a year though.
-
cc mech its still lacking a bit but lookin good
-
Planes look good, gameplay and terrain doesnt offer anything i would want at the moment.
Dont know if the gameplay works our when having more players, but the terrain isnt better than ah2 one i think.

Nefarious,
Is that a VA-163 Skyhawk second from the bottom?
If so, is it based on a particular plane in the squadron?

Sorry, I had forgotten about this thread.
Yes.
Bu No 151134 Va-163 "Saints"
USS Orsikany 1965
This plane was flown by CDR James B. Stockdale when he was shot down. He spent 7 years as the senior POW and was awarded the Congressional Medal of Honor for his resistance the N. Vietnamese interrogation and coercion
The Middle Scooter is another famous bird.
A-4E
Bu No 151703
NM208 VA-192 "Golden Dragons"
USS Ticonderoga April 1967
This plane was flown by LCDR Estocin (the only Navy jet pilot to be awarded the Congressional Medal of Honor for actions performed during a combat mission). He sadly did not survive the second heroic for his actions on two missions. The USS Estocin is named after him.

the community is slowly building, they havent dont any advertising and want to keep a rather low amount of traffic till the game is released in the full version since its still in beta testing.
I really enjoy this game, the flight model is years beyond aces high, and the greaphics are on par with il2, and actually work well on a medium quality pc. I dont think alot of ahers will enjoy it tho, or at least it will take a long time for them to handle such realism, i had a hard time breaking free of the arcade aspects of ah as well.
tw has a completely new type of flight model, its based off of real world physics, not the way ah and il2 work, of of a plane atribute chart. weight arodynamics all of it are put together to make the most realistic of flight combat possible.
this goes for gunnery too.
as far as game play goes, it can be what ever you want it to be, its completely customizable.
what i really enjoy is the wide veriety of things to do in tw, and the whole concept of what tw is. It is not a game in itself but an open source sim environment. If a small company wants go get together and make a sim, they can work one on one with the tw crew and make their vision come true. imagine if htc wanted to work with them and create a mod!
all in all tw will have all you need when it comes for your air combat needs, ww1 ww2 and modern combat being some that have already been consieved, its just a matter of time before this game takes off.
i dont have anything against ah and its arcade aspects , but there is a time for realism and imersion and target ware really hands these to you on a silver platter.
dont take my word for it visit
targetware.net and get started up, play for at least a week and you will see what im talking about. Dont get discouraged when you find its a challenge to just get the plane off the ground.

Presonally I like A/C 302 on the bottom, Sorry but I'm partial to birds off Carriers that I've seen.

Heh, Livin near Oceana I figured youd be used to it. I lived there for about 8 Years.

is that f4 from target hanoi?
-
Yeah, it doesnt have any markings on it, because it's my template, So it's still WIP.
-
i have found targetware to be of a very low standard to be honest. it crashes my PC often and the graphics are miles behind AH, not ahead. The Flight model is not all its cracked up to be either. it has good engine management features but that the only thing better than AH.

Now that plane I've never seen fly in or out of the base here, I remember them though, Navy had them when I first joined
we had thos eand Skyhawks both flying all around Sydney, I didn't end up around this base till the Tomcats were everywhere

i flew it a year ago and felt just about the same thing. I had system crashes and all sorts of stuff, {its a beta} a year has turned this game into a real smoking flight combat sim. The graphics are way better than ah, period, and check out the detail of the cockpits. The flight model is not ez mode and has more levels of detail than i have ever seen, and each plane feels very unique with its own quirks you must master. the only thing holding it back at the moment is a lack of a community which is understandable since it is still in beta testing. The target ware staff really took on a big challeng in under taking this project but when it is complete i believe it will be the most realistic flight expirence out there, and has the room to grow tremendously. The community is growing week by week as the word spreads that its nearing completion, we have been really consentrating on getting more ppl to try tw out and it has really shown, heck im the one that got blixen into it and he has gotten many others and so on. That being said ah still kicks bellybutton in the world of arcade flight combat, and probably always will, and has one of the best communitys to boot, Up a big bird and shooting something down and have fun for all skill levels. TW is for the hardcore flight combat simmer.

Nefarious are you part of the design crew for target hanoi, cause i havent been able to fly the beta for it yet, let alone design skins.
-
If your interested in helping Eilief, Email me using the link above.
Were always looking for help, Although Beta will probably be far off. We lack alot of things needed for Vietnam Era Jet Combat.
All in due time though.

Got a URL for THIS????????? wow!

i think these speak for themselves.
http://www.targetware.net have fun!

wow, just D/L and gave it a go. feels quite different, but flying the P38J was fun. darn controls too different for one flight, gonna have to try some more and actually try to figure out the controls some. screenshots look awesome tho. the P38F screenie is now my background, awesome looking green.
-
in a way i find it a little offensive to advertise another sim on the AH boards.
does 'look' good though. not too sure about how it plays yet, havnt even managed to see another plane in the air past a single pixel.
-
look bro im not advertising just letting peeps no
i could careless about ww2 part cuz i love ah2 very much
been an addict for a long time now
only reason i posted about it was because of korean jet sim and aces high doesnt have those birds so.........sorry if i offened u mech............god this is whats wrong with this world every1 gets so offened over stupid shizit i mean jeez get over it i didnt ask u to read it thats y there is a message title:rolleyes:
-
lolol, chill man, i was kinda kidding :)
thought that was obvious.
sorry for confusion :lol
-
np:)
-
I tried it and I didn't care for it much. I think it will be a good game after a year or two.
-
i prefer AH's gauges that you can actually fuggin read.
