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;

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 :)
