Didn't do it for me

I wanted to like this game but it just didn't impress me. It is impossible to figure out where the enemy is and how you should attack them. Maybe they should have included a tutorial or something. The graphics were adequate but I just couldn't fly the plane well enough to make the game enjoyable. Put it this way-if it was this hard to fly one of these, I would have died on my first day in the war.

How do I fly this thing?

One of the best games I've ever played! If you like on-line gaming and flight sims, this is one you have to get!

Is it my machine or am I doing something wrong?

Being a fan of the original two RB games, I ordered this game when I got a new PC with Windows ME. Only problem is, I get "jitter" everytime I move the joystick up or down. I tried a new joystick, but it didn't fix the problem. Inquiries to Sierra went unanswered. The game is cool when I fly in a straight line, but having to go up or down gives me motion sickness. Anyone else have this problem?

I usually don't like this kind of computer game, but was intriged by the historical context enough to try the demo. I wasn't thrilled by the demo, but liked it enough to buy the full version. I'm hooked. I can't stop playing this ...thing, and can't believe the game isn't more popular. It is well researched, realistic and downright fun. The landscape graphics could be better, but they are good enough, since the main focus is on the aerial combat. It is so good my wife calls it "that ...game." If you like either WWI history or flight simulation or both, buy this game while its still available. ....

Play online only!

The only real reason to get this WWI sim is to play against friends (or foes) online. I haven't played in a few months, but the last few dogfights online were really awesome! Hours of fun, so long as your 'net connection can take it. I have dial-up and it would kick out a few times, but still worth it! You need PATIENCE when flying these planes, after all they are not jets and don't handle like 'em!

3-D not much improvement to an already great game.

Red Baron is easily the most challenging game i've ever played. It continues to confound me after years of play. I've never been able to get the online version to work, but that's OK because the "campaign" level is great. You must master the controls and be able to look off into one direction, while flying in another. You will build your pilot up while fighting in the Great War. If you see a red Fokker triplane come after you and you're flying for the French or British, get outta there!

I miss this game's heyday

This is a GREAT game, and with the Full Canvas Jacket addon it looks even better. But I never really played this for its single player - I absolutely LOVED multiplayer. I only stopped playing this game when it became difficult to find servers with people in them.

This game got me into the genre of WWI aviation - I now have tons of books on the subject even. In terms of the game itself, it still remains unmatched, mostly due to the fact that no significant WWI sims have been released since, sadly enough.

Overall, very fun and definitely worth purchasing. Be advised that you will need access to mods to make this game with with modern video cards and operating systems. Just run a Google search for mods.

I purchased this game via Amazon.com after playing Red Baron-2. Installed it and had nothing but problems. My system met the requirements to run it but the Campaign portion of the game refused to work. I contacted Sold Out for tech assistance but they were unable to solve the problem. They requested I return the game so they could check it for flaws. I plan to return the game to them(at my cost)and see what they come up with.
I was able to play Red Baron-2,by Sierra, and really liked it. This version is less than I expected and unless the flaws can be addressed, I wont purchase another game via Sold Out.
