This is an excellent find and I wanted to share it with everyone here. This is one of the great aviation games. Lot's of fun to play but will you survive a duel with the infamous Red Baron?

This was an excellent 'hard-core' flight sim for it's time. Because it was modelling aircraft that were inherently slower in flight, it was (imo) still an accessible and enjoyable game for the more casual player.
But it had fun stuff for those more interested in accurate flight models as well, since each plane's more famous 'quirk's were fairly well depicted. For example, the Fokker Dr.I Tri-plane having an awesome climb rate but could more easily put you into a flat-spin if you weren't careful - and the Sopwith Camel having a great turn rate if you turned with the engine's torque - to the right side.
Anyway, my comments are from distant memories of the game, so I don't recall all details. But if it runs decent (or at all) on your system, and you can stand the low-res, low-quality graphics, it should still be a blast because I'm not aware of very many games today that give you a chance to lead your own dawn patrol across the trenches of The Great War.

Awesome!
Thanks...
Red Baron was my first ever PC flight sim :)
Red Baron II is going to make me cry (in a good way).

Thanks for the tips. I loved the original and bought the 2nd when I saw it. It seemed to have some glitches so I put it away in hopes for a patch. Brought it out again a year ago to see if I could get it running and it was a no go. I was really bummed about it until now. I've been busy all day so I'm looking forward to sitting down and playing it. I did notice that when you take off the plane starts to lean to the left. So I'm hoping that it's just a trim problem and not another bug. I'll hook up my joystick and see.
No problem, I'm glad to help out. If you need any help getting it to run let me know. :-)

ooh nice, always loved a ww1 flight sim. There's something compelling about flying a combat aircraft made mostly of wood and canvas (probably why I usually fly a Hurricane Mk1 in IL2)

Sweet. I loved the first one so much, and I can't wait to try this out.

Excellent find. I remember playing Red Baron I many many years ago, but dont think I ever got to try out Red Baron II

That may be the engine torque modelling. Picture this: Engine churning in one direction, along with the prop. The directional force there is why the Camel (for example) turned *much* better in one direction than the other. (I think it turn towards the right/clockwise best)
But another reason could be a game bug. I really can't tell from here. It's been many years since I've run a flight sim... and probably longer since I had the Red Baron games.

it's the engine torque modelling

I must've played a different Red Baron, because what I remember of that name was an on-rails flyer with FMV fighter pilots trying to take you down.

I think your thinking of Wing Nuts. Man, I wish that game and Cadillacs and Dinosaurs worked with DOSBox. It has a dumb CD calibrating program so it exits with an error.

The website mentions it's only in German, unfortunately my German doesn't go as far as saying how big my toe is.
Is there some kind of English patch?

The website also talks about a "Super Patch" (He also provided the link to that), and I think that translates it into English. At the very bottom of the first link, it says "For detailed instructions for converting Red Baron II to Red Baron 3D IN ENGLISH, click here".

I still have my Red Baron 3D CD. It's seen better days, though. :P
Great find.

Finally got a chance to plug in the joystick. Works perfectly, can't wait to down some planes.
