Red Baron coming back?
« on: October 26, 2009, 02:34:48 AM »
Seems like a lot of interest in WWI flight sims these days. First RoF, then Aces High adding a WWI arena...

...and now Damon Slye talking about a New Red Baron?

I admit I'm rather skeptical about this...

For its time Red Baron was fantastic, and the sequels never matched it.  I hadn't realized that the original creator wasn't involved with the sequels, but it makes sense.

Red Baron II was pretty decent for its time, but way to buggy. I do remember the only bug I hated most was one where you could'nt finish a campaign because some where down the line it would "crash" the campaign. I do remember some australian company was working on Red Baron III under a different name and re-worked the graphics twice to keep it up to date, however SimHQ.com hasn't had news on it in over 6 months.

If you recall AOTP and AOE, it's the same guy.
Man, if he could use the AH engine to make an offline sim, that would be crazy. Maybe it's just me, but all of those had such atmosphere, that I have not found the equal. The missions, the career, the music, - AOTP for instance was a killer.

It was very interesting to carry out the flight trials at Rechlin with the Spitfire and the Hurricane. Both types are very simple to fly compared to our aircraft, and childishly easy to take-off and land. (Werner Mölders)

Too bad Dynamax went the way of the dino.  AoTP was the first combat flight sim I ever played.  Absolutely loved that game and Red Baron I.

GOD I wish they'd make an AotP2. It'd blow Il-2 RIGHT out of the water.

Ron White says you can't fix stupid. I beg to differ. Stupid will usually sort itself out, it's just a matter of making sure you're not close enough to become collateral damage.

+1 here!  AOTP was the one that got me interested in flight sims on the computer. Oh . . .  memories of my 486, flying with the keyboard, thinking it was SOOOO realistic compared to the original MSFS that I had seen before that!
