Looking at their site, I *think* it's still beta, hence... free.

Hmmm I *thought* .... need a rest now, vely vely tired...

Yep, its free. Target Rabaul is in open beta atm. Its a MMPOL realism based combat flight sim.

TR is just one of the family of sims that use the Targetware Engine. Basically, you download the base Engine then simply enter user/pass (you need to create an account first), fire up the Engine (Targetware) & click "Download Mods" inside the game. This will then present all the current official Mods for download, like TR, Target Korea etc. Click the one you want & it will auto install that data pack.

Here's some links;

I did dl the base software and TR + opened an account this afternoon but my laptops gpu could not handle it very well but ill give it another try toimorrow.

how is the FM? if its the same basic engine running all the mods it cant be very accurate.....or?

Well, FMs can be very subjective but my opinion is that nothing else comes close. I actually use it to brush up on my circuit procedures

The laws of aerodynamics are the same in WW1 as they were in Vietnam eras

The Engine handles the physics & the individual aircraft in the Mods packs each have an acm file. This controls many individual parameters such as weights/CG/engine parameters etc etc of each aircraft.

Just a small add-on: TW has a Mac and Linux (Yes, I said Linux...) version in development also.

DL'd it last night and set it up again. I never reinstalled it after my last reformat. About how many are online at peak times?

I've only really flown in off peak US times & we have been getting up to 20 people. Not as many as AH I realise but the way the Target Rabaul missions are set up, you are never far from a fight, & a quality fight at that
