The battle for air supremacy comes alive in this World War I combat flight simulation where you take to the skies over Europe as either a French, British, American or German pilot. Released seven years after the original, {*Red Baron II} remains true to the historical records and flying aces on which the dogfighting missions are based. Three modes of gameplay include Fly Now (instant in-sky dogfighting with no mission goals), Single Mission (standalone scenarios), and Campaign (create a pilot whose career spans the entirety of {~WWI}).
More than 40 WWI vintage aircraft are modeled in the game, including 22 for simulation flying (6 French, 7 German, and 9 British). When playing campaign mode, planes become available for missions in accordance with historical timelines. Roughly half of the instruction manual is devoted to a historical overview of the war including flight tactics, maneuvers, references, and formations employed by the various air forces. Each of the 22 flyable aircraft is shown independently accompanied by a short historic reference in terms of usage, effectiveness, and desirability.
A mission builder lets you create, modify and fly custom missions, and a plane painting utility allows you to customize aircraft color schemes. Adjustable gameplay preferences include realism setting, vulnerability, ordnance, fuel, g-force effects, collisions, sun glare, gun jams, enemy skill factors, instruments and score modifiers. Graphical settings can be customized in the areas of object and aircraft detail, object density, ground shadows, prop animations, combat detail, terrain range, textures and detail, clouds, resolution and pixel size. Sound and music are also adjustable.
The simulation covers historical air battles in four major areas including Flanders, Marne, Verdun and Alsace. A map of each specific area that depicts key elements such as ground targets (bridges, towns, cities, railroads, roads, factories, supply bases and aerodromes), forests, rivers, front lines and waypoints is provided in the manual. Both keyboard and joystick control options are supported, as is multiplayer action over a LAN, the Internet, modem or serial connection.
For would-be aces, the game offers a variety of medals (4 British, 3 French, 4 German and 2 US) for distinguished flying and bravery. Whether coming into the war late as part of the U. S. Air Service (USAS), taking on the German aces in a British Sopwith Camel or piloting the German Albatross D.II}({$Manfred von Richthofen}'s favorite), {*Red Baron II} offers a historical and action-oriented simulation of World War I dogfighting. Think you've got what it takes to achieve the Iron Cross, the Legion of Honor, The Victoria Cross, or the Congressional Medal of Honor? Take to the European skies and find out if you're ace material in {*Red Baron II}.

WHAT YOU GET:
This item is for the original media, and includes only the media (ie. CD, floppy ...) UNLESS specifically stated above and/or in the title. If more than just the media is included, it will state which items are (ie. box, manual, etc ). Items that come in a sleeve refer to a generic CD sleeve (typically white) and will be sent with shipping protection to avoid damage during transit. If available, we will also send the front and/or back CD inserts if in stock. If these are important to you, please message us to verify we have them available to send. Please do not assume items are included other than what's stated. Again, ask questions PRIOR to purchasing if you have any concerns.
IMAGES:
All images/pictures are stock photos and are for reference only, mainly to show the type of game you will be getting. Please read "WHAT YOU GET" for what is included with the media. Screenshots may vary based on your own computer system, video card, monitor, etc.
COMPATIBILITY:
Computers are like people, each one is different. Unlike console games, a computer game may install and work flawlessly on one system but may need adjustments on another. This is due to a variety of factors, mainly the OS platform running, video card you have, drivers, protection software installed, etc. Many times manufacturers release updates to games to fix bugs and add enhancements. We would be happy to help get the game going on your computer, but ultimately compatibility issues are the responsibility of the buyer. We suggest going to Google and searching for the name of the game along with the words "system requirements" to determine if your system is suitable. Ultimately, we are not responsible for software compatibility problems or publisher's errors.
PLATFORM:
Stated within the auction is what platform the game will work on (ie. Windows, Mac, Linux...) This is a generic statement and specific platform versions (ie. XP, Vista...) will have to be researched by the buyer. Games that came out PRIOR to XP or higher will not specifically state they will work on that release, but only because they came out before those versions were made. Many, if not most, will work on XP or higher with a few quick adjustments. We provide instructions with all items purchased on how to do this adjustment using the Program Compatibility Wizard. If we find out that an item will definately not work on a specific version, we will state it. For DOS games, you may need to play it with a free DOSbox program if the Program Compatibility Wizard does not work.
64-Bit Windows OS Systems:
For 64-bit Operating Systems, older games most likely will NOT work due to 64-bit systems not being able to run 16-bit programming code (most games prior to 2000). For DOS games, you may need to play it with a free DOSbox program.
Macintosh Systems:
For Macintosh programs, most older games will need to be run in Classic Environment if you have a MAC OS X 10.0 - 10.4 version. Please research Google on how to do this, or send us a message for information prior to purchasing. If your MAC OS system doesn't support Classic Environment (ie. MAC OS X 10.5 or Higher OR Intel Macs), you will have to try running it using the free program called SheepShaver, but compatibility is not ensured. Please research prior to purchasing or ask questions.
MEDIA FORMAT:
Please verify you have the required hardware in order to use the specified media (ie. CD, DVD, floppy drives, etc.) If the item comes as a floppy disc, make sure you have either the needed 3.5" floppy drive or the bigger and older 5.25" floppy drive.
RECOMMENDATIONS FOR A SMOOTH PURCHASE:
Ask questions PRIOR to purchasing an order to avoid any confusion.
Be patient if there are problems during installation or gameplay. Typically someone else has
already ran into that problem and has listed a solution online. Contact us and we will do our best to help.
Be sure to update your video card drivers and search for updates to the game from the manufacturer.
