Haven't seen your press release yet but that's a very welcome refreshing change for a prop combat sim. Excellent choice IMO. :)

Release 2007?
Isn't that a bit steep?
I mean developing the terrain varity of that part of the world alone would cost you at least a year or so?
Parts of China,Burma?
Leaving that out will not give you the "Flying Tigers" flying experience..not to me.
Nevertheless great choice!

From reading the front page, it will be a totaly new 'air combat simulation' based around the exploits of the Flying Tigers.

Really looking forward to it Scott! I'm glad you have historically acurate Japanese aircraft as well! From the list of aircraft, it looks like it will be sorounded around 1941-1942 when the AVG, the 'real' Flying Tigers, were in opperation, which will really be a treat!

Neither. Shockwave has taken ownership of an engine to generate a real Combat Flight Sim.

This will be a true shoot em up and watch em drop air war. :)
