World of Planes, a massively multiplayer WWII flight sim ![/size]
-with land combat too!
nVidia needs close ties with this developer (don't mistake them for the "corny" world of tanks devs!). I'd go as far, with 3D, won't even need DX11, rather want procedural sound generation with OpenCL or CUDA or whatever computation layer.

" (...) had the unfortunate distinction of encountering Gerstenberg's disguised flak train. At tree-top level, around 50 ft (15 m) above the ground, the 98th would find themselves to the left and the 44th on the right. The advantage, however, would rest with the 98th and 44th, whose gunners quickly responded to the threat, disabling the locomotive and killing multiple air defense crews."
Meanwhile on the other side of the theatre:
http://www.vectorsite.net/avfw190.html
"The FW-190 was proving such a menace to the RAF that a risky commando mission named Operation AIRTHIEF was planned to steal one from a French airfield, but the mission was called off because on 23 June 1942, Oberleutnant Armin Faber got a little confused and landed his A-3 on an RAF airfield by mistake. Flight evaluation of the captured Focke-Wulf showed it to have weaknesses -- just not very many. The RAF rested their hopes in matching the FW-190 with the new "Spitfire IX", which was a Spitfire V hastily fitted with a new "Merlin 61" engine featuring a two-stage supercharger.
The Spitfire IX went into service in July 1942. The RAF hoped to give the Luftwaffe a bloody nose during the "practice invasion" at Dieppe in August 1942, which was partly intended to lure the FW-190s up to fight. Unfortunately, the Dieppe operation was badly planned and executed, and the FW-190s were more than willing to accept the RAF's challenge, inflicting disproportionate losses on the Spitfires. One FW-190 pilot, Josef Wurmheller, shot down seven Spitfire Vs in one day over Dieppe. "
" (...) At first, Luftwaffe pilots used "tail-chase" tactics, but then it was realized that the bombers were much more vulnerable to fire from the front, and also had weak forward defensive armament. The result was a switch to "head-on" attacks, which allowed the fighters to exploit these weaknesses. The high relative speed of the interceptors as they passed through the bomber formations from front to back also complicated the lives of American gunners. However, on the other side of the coin the head-on attacks gave Luftwaffe pilots little time to score hits or to react to a looming head-on collision. The new tactics were much more effective for good fighter pilots, but less effective for mediocre ones.
Despite this, FW-190s smashed up a raid on Regensburg and Schweinfurt on 14 October 1943 so badly that the Americans gave up daylight bombing over Germany until the long-range P-51B/C Mustang escort fighter came into service. Even when e-s-c-o-r-t-s arrived, the FW-190 was never a pushover for any Allied pilots, anyplace, anywhere. A tale circulated during the later years of the war that when an overenthusiastic American manufacturer printed an advertisement that displayed an FW-190 to mock it with the caption: "Who's Afraid Of The Big Bad Wulf?" -- they got a copy of the ad sent back to them in the mail along with a letter signed by everyone in a bomber unit that said: "We are."

Lord, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference.
