Red Baron 3-D: Intro+Campaign

Though one of the very few WWI sims, Red Baron was simply damn good. Or in my case, once you upgraded RB2 to RB3-D that is. You may wonder.
Not like your little side-show in the sky can actually affect the course of the war. The grand Campaign is about as immobile as the Great War itself. Of course, you're too busy racking up a chest full of metals to care.
Sorry I missed the results, but let's just say that it was a rampant slaughter. Really ugly. Came out with 4 kills though.

A spectacular game. I remember one mission where I eluded 3 enemy planes by hiding in the clouds. My plane was shot to pieces and I had to yaw hard right to keep it from stalling. When I finally landed at my home base it felt like great sex.

[@Tombi432]

Ive played it when i was 7. We never knew what we should do but it was fun destroying the own base

[@zachypoo420]

I played this when I was seven on the Windows 95 Packard Bell and we had the sidewinder flight stick. Also played human genome soldier and the hellbender demo. I spent so much time with that flight stick. Loved it.

[@bug______]

Same bro

[@snippidippi]

One of the best if not the best ww1 flight sim of time! only rise of flight comes close

[@ShaosilGaming]

Those flak cannons! I used to play whole missions on normal speed, and entering into no man's land was always tense. Once I watched my wingman take a hit, lose his wing, and plummet slowly towards the ground. Great memories

[@Mile.HighMoto]

I used to play this as a kid on my parents computer... I was born in 1998, oh the memories... the music hit me instantly

[@wun1gee]

The menu music. I'll never forget it.

[@benfletcher9659]

Best flight sim ever I think. Nothing has replaced it. Was obsessed with this game from 1998-2000, it got me into radio control model aircraft. I was in a virtual Cyber Squadron called Jasta 18 and flew as J18_Ritter von Fear. Good times.

[@CYON4D]

Awesome game, I remember pushing the plane to its limits to watch the wings fall off :)

[@loading...7583]

I know this is a game but just imagine the poor bastards that actually lived through this hell

[@macbrian1703]

5 weeks average life of a flyer. 1917 bloody april it was 17. 5 minutes.

[@cfeatb]

I remember when ur plane was burning that u hit "jjj" an the pilot jumped out of it with no parashout. everytime u had 3 options: 1) dead 2) imprisoned 3) injured and back home XD The mission took sometimes >1 h and u couldnt save it.

[@michaeleaster1815]

The intro gave me goosebumps in 1998 ... and still does. I still have the fabulous manual.

[@duffysullivan2794]

Sometimes the hardest part of the mission was getting back home and landing safely. If your plane was shot up it would fly and handle poorly, making landing difficult. A crash landing could result in death and a failed mission. Or sometimes, if it wasn't too bad, an ambulance would come out and take you to a field hospital where you would recover. Really a great sim! With fabulous enemy AI, best in the business.

[@bbb462cid]

Great immersion and all round sim. First time over no man's land and seeing an over the top charge was stunning

[@neurom4nc3r]

as i remember, the autopilot has suicidal tendencies

[@1ochotnik]

And the commanders don't care that you don't have enough fuel to get to the target and back!

[@Specter1065]

This game contributed to my proficiency in flight combat

[@Seer11665]

I have this game and play it all the time, its a pretty good game for 1997

[@user-tz3nu5qk9d]

+Seer11665 I have a game in 2002 with updates (do not remember exactly somewhere in 2006.) The game is optimized for modern operating systems and works under Windows_7 x (32 or 64), Windows_8 x (32 or 64), Windows_10 x (32 or 64)

[@Sigmar_Heldenhammer]

Ahhhh.... DYNAMIC CAMPAIGN. My favorite.

[@DamagedF0X]

I remember this game. It had a lot of dynamics like a bullet can hit an enemy body or yourself. Blow an engine out and lose oil pressure/start a fire. Lose a wing and your plane would favor a roll to one side, but you could limp most of this stuff. Loss of a horizontal stabilizer was always certain doom.

[@liambrooks2330]

This was an amazing new simulator; and then I don't know what happened to games?

[@nightflyer40]

Check out Wings over Flanders Field by OBD Software pretty much spiritual successor to Red Baron

[@jeTROGIBBS]

I remember your ears would bleed after a few minutes of that engine noise

[@TheBroDude777]

OH THE NOSTALGIA

[@Neslakim]

Sounds like the sirens from silent hill are screaming :P Nice looking game for it's time :)

[@whynotcoconut6599]

My plane goes by him self right and down. Can you help me to fix it

[@EduFirenze]

Saw this game on GOG but wondered, can you use a xbox controller to play? I remember when I was a kid you needed a hell of a system to play this on, with the then new voodoo cards

[@Sodoffshotgun]

I saw a video where @lgr was talking about the red Baron games so I had to check this out.

[@Beaguins]

I wish I knew how this mission turned out. It looks like you lit up one building. Is that enough?

[@raymondyee2008]

Hmm I initially wanted to get it but i’m not sure if it’ll work on Windows 10 and with my Logitech Extreme 3d Pro joystick. I also heard the missions are very unforgiving with no tutorial to teach you the basics.

[@dallesamllhals9161]

www.gog.com/game/red_baron_pack "I also heard the missions are very unforgiving with no tutorial to teach you the basics." They are NOT! I should know with the org. Red Baron II CD-ROMs in '97 - later patched to RED Baron 3D - when I got hands on a Voodoo² in '98. +1 Logitech Extreme 3d Pro = METOO (and still working!) ;-)

[@Loganeffecto]

I always likes bailing out on fire

[@mrwang420]

This game was so damn good lol.

[@fxtrader6647]

I spent many hours a day playing this game between 1998 and 2000

[@Olham54]

I guess RB3D was phantastic in its days, and I wonder how I could have missed it. But there is a great successor, which offers all the lovely details I see here in this video, tons of historical knowledge and aircraft skins, and a wonderful single-player immersion which is unique in these days - it's called: "Wings Over Flanders Fields" Some of it's creators had already been working on RB3D, or on mods for it. If anyone is interested, visit www.overflandersfields.com or the forum at www.simhq.com

[@xLMBN]

I fucking loved that Game

[@TheFlyingSniperTFS]

i cant but help thinking roblox with those explosions

[@felipechamba9181]

Hey my friend, great game, please send to me a download link?

[@FeelingShred]

I have yet to try this one, is it running in DOS? The engine seems to be more advanced, but my heart is still with Flying Corps from Rowan Software. Can't find my CD of that one, would be great if someone could upload the disk.

[@VintageTechFan]

I borrowed mine (together with some other games) to a school friend back then, and he managed to lose them on the bus.

[@theobserver4214]

This runs on Windows

[@wesleyedwards123]

Loved this game! I never played as an American though, I always played as either the Germans, French, or British. Oddly enough I had fimaly on both sides of the First World War and none of them were Americans yet so I'm not related to anyone in U.S. Air Service at that time.

[@neurom4nc3r]

best game ever

[@penname8380]

It would look even better with a Vodoo card.

[@theedrstrangelove]

Anyone remember in the campaign, the Red Baron would Challenge you to a dogfight!

[@user-tz3nu5qk9d]

You want to fight me in this game over the Internet? Me in this game to win is almost impossible, it is sometimes managed only one guy from Germany. I have never met anyone else who can beat me in this game. I'm not bragging - it's true. lol Yes :)

[@andyz.5431]

See todays devs of historicial sims, that's how a menu has to look like.

[@aaronscrewme]

I bought the game years ago, but the cd is waaay to scratched up to play now. I tried downloading it off the internet but combat auto-pilot doesn't work. Very sad... bitches be fussin' over my medals and shitzz... now I die.

[@Mr70084]

Yay another naco video. More Commentary for those of us that dont like to full screen to see the options. :)

[@Busterdrag]

What, no playing as germans?

[@JohnyG29]

Busterdrag Who in their right mind would want to do that?!

[@oilersridersbluejays]

I always played the Germans.

[@WMDMUSICGAMING]

Is this windows xp or 7?

[@jakubsedlak2173]

What's with the discount The Great Escape theme...

[@IHaveBadWiFiBro]

Who else remembers getting this game from there pizza box back then?

[@Naceo]

Well this guy got a pizza box from his game. Close enough? kzbin.info/www/bejne/rZXCmHhvp96da80

[@Maverick25ish]

Battlefield 1 graphics look sweet

[@benclark3513]

[@fritagogo1]

[@FeelingShred]

Would love to know if this or Flying Corps runs in modern systems

[@curcicm]

[@fcaugsburg4ever1907]

I remember the First Time i Played this Game i was only Four and i just bombed the villages in the Free Mode

[@jakubsedlak2173]

[@guerraldo]
