Ahh, seeing this box art, I now remember this game. It was great fun! Ditto about Amiga typically being the best version possible :)

I think Red Baron 1 is the only flight sim of any kind (including underwater and space sim) that I played the entire campaign. I usually get stuck on a mission in those kind of games and I eventually get bored repeating it again and again.

That's true. I remember a lot of these games were highly praised for their realistic simulation of 'the wire-and-canvas-death-trap experience' (well-put IAmSinistar).

It could have been much worse:

I think I crashed just about every time I made a turn. :P

Thanks skeletonbow, I'll make a note of that. :)

Home for lunch, just in time for the Red Baron pack! (only been a 2+day wait)

Actually, the above mentioned Pacific Fighters is included in the Il-2 1946, which is available here on GOG. It is true, that it is a realistic as a computer game can be.

Glad to see this much love for a flight sim on GOG! Shame there aren't many in their catalog...

Jack Keane copies for everyone!

I agree! I loved this game as well as Aces of the Pacific, KoTS, and to a lesser degree Chuck Yaeger

Great, thanks mate! But how on earth did I manage to miss it three times during the flash sales?

Well at least it's not WWI realism. :)

Chuck Yeager Sims brings back some memories. Chuck Yeager's Advanced Flight Simulator was rough on the eyes but still fun!

And with that revelation I have redeemed the provisional IL-2 Sturmovik key I picked up. :)

Sometimes you just gotta gift to yourself. :D

I agree. I had hoped that the release of F117 was an indication of more to come ( Falcon 3.0 , F15 II/III , Gunship / G. 2000 for instance ), but nothing yet ....
