And coming along quite slowly. Its been over 2 years now.

"Shaun 'Ogre' Thomson"........wasn't this one of the Air Warrior developers? Name sounds familiar.
-
yep, I am looking fwd to what Targetware produces! Both sims look great:)
-
ehm all three....
-
looking at all the pretty eyecandy, I dont think i'll be playing it. I dont have enough puter for IL2. Looks like its going that route.
-
I'm all for it.
Give us faster-paces gameplay than AH, with IL2 or better visuals, and I'm drooling all over myself.

Boy I hope this is as good as it looks.
I've always wanted to fly a Sabre vs a Mig15... imagine my dismay when I discovered the US propoganda was false, and that the MIG was superior in almost every way to anything the US put in the theatre.
I wonder when this will come out?

Easymo it's made for multiplayer (up to 250 afair) and I don't think it will have as much "eye candy" as Il-2 has = less dependable about cpu/graphics accelerator.
-
Ogre has been around for longer than I have.
If you look at your AH credits, he did the beta terrain.
I won't deny that they're coming along slowly, but 2 years is an exaggeration. THey "went public" last January (or February, I forget). so it's not quite 2 years.
Oh, and if you look at the things they say are in the game, they're already ahead of where AH was in 0.33. Can they work as fast or draw as big a crowd? Time will tell.
-
There's absolutely no reason why I can't enjoy all. I personally am looking forward to the WWI component- or have I mixed them up with another company?
-
Thought I would throw this recent TR DEV update in with this thread, a good read as well.

There are korean era "Target:Korea", WW2 Pacific "Target:Rabaul" and WW1 era "Target:Flanders".

I hope they cater for users with SMP systems - put each aircraft/gv in its own thread and those of us with 2+ CPUs should get a significant boost.

The MiG had a higher ceiling, better climb rate, better turn rate, and cannons.
The Sabre had boosted controls, much better high speed/transonic characteristics, superior gunsight/ranging radar (the Russian pilots were jealous), and like almost every American fighter, rugged structure and superior diving performance.
If only a slightly better engine had been available, the Sabre would have dominated the MiG.
Despite the above differences, the planes were pretty evenly matched (except for the boosted controls and the ceiling, most of the differences were marginal over most of the altitude band), pilot skills and initial conditions usually determined the outcome. Unfortunately, toward the end of the war, the MiG pilots got smart and refused to cross the Yalu until they had altitude and the Sabres were low on gas.
The US solution to the MiG-15 was the F-104: climb higher, go faster, fire 20mm rounds at 100 rounds per second :) The F-104 has a terrible reputation, but I wonder how it would have done had it been around for Korea? I guess the F-105/F-4 versus MiG-17 in Vietnam is a fair approximation of performance differences, but the tactical environment was too different to really compare (SAMs and radar leading to low altitude fights versus the Korean War high altitude fights).
