Sorry guys. I just checked in to read the Rod post for a laugh when I ran into this thread. It's so seldom I know the answers to these things.

I'm not playing Aces High though, so took myself out of play.

Close krull - involved. Not shot down.

Still up for grabs.  Hint - it's not the V1 attacks in London.

Kev - did you ever play that game?  It is, IMHO, THE best WWI game, and one of the best gameplay software games ever made.  Customizable plane skins, getting invites from other aces, ace challenges. Just an awesome sim.

No winner yet. Hint#2 - it's something someone announced, officially. It's nothing you shoot, fire, or launch. Definately not a declearation of war, but the opposite.

[BBQ_Bob]

I know what it is.

[AWkrull]

this should cover it

It is to be left to the opinion of the reader. Who killed the Red baron? that depends on which account that you find credible.
And of course whose account the judge thinks is the most credible.

Yes, I use to play it on a friends PC. Its what got me into flight sims. It has been many moons since I played it tho. It was a blast, do you know of anything close to it today?

[Mister Fork]

Kev: the only close sim I find remotely close in it's gameplay is SILENT HUNTER III. It's a sub sim, but even more advanced.

The nice part of playing Red Baron was that every country you flew for was a different game!

Krull - you hit the nail on the head.  I guess it's like a plane accident.  Lots of factors were involved in the downing of the Red Baron, but one thing was clear, Brown and May were the catalists in his death, regardless of who fired the fatal blow.
