-HMS Velox, British destroyer

-Sopwith Schneider, British floatplane

-Gunbus

vs

-Fokker E.III

-Albatros W.I floatplane

Many thanks for info on Targetware.

I like the idea that it targets the earlier period of WW1.

Are many flying there these days? I used to but I got tired of flying by myself most of the time.

Unfortunately not to be honest. I hope it will change after the new relase, since RS will introduce more "wanted" planes, such as Albatroses D.

Also, lack of the organised events prevents single pilots or online squadrons from playing there. It has nice multiplayer potential with wide option possibilities, but its not used well.

BTW: here is a nice link:

http://fishbed.targetware.net/~joe/spelunk.php

It lists all the TW servers and shows number of players. Hope it helps a bit.

Usually its 10-15 in the evening, most players on TT server. But advetisement of tw is **** so dont expect more. note, that no big Simming portal has tw section. But when you will get on HL only IL series has hungreds of players, the rest has the same auditory as there.

Cheers!
