Red Baron 2: Red Baron 3D
built 277 days ago
Red Baron 3D has retained its popularity within the community for several reasons. First, it offered a complete campaign modeling aerial operations from 1916 through 1918 - essentially covering armed air combat from all sides. Second, it was easy to mod - using bitmap images for aircraft skins. Third, and most importantly, the game featured a dynamic campaign which randomly assigned missions to the player and offered a variety of mission types. These included Offensive Patrols, Aerodrome Attacks, Balloon Attacks, Combat Air Patrols, Barrage Patrols, Infantry Attacks, and Defense missions.

Red Baron 3D supports the Glide applications programming interface, so users owning 3D cards with a 3Dfx chipset (Voodoo, Voodoo II, Rush and Banshee) will see faster and more detailed graphics. Users without a 3Dfx card... are out of luck. RB3D doesn’t support Microsoft’s Direct3D, so those users will have to slog it out with the slower and less detailed software renderer. However, even the software renderer has updated graphics compared to Red Baron II.

Because joysticks do not naturally deactivate screen savers while being used, Red Baron 3D disables your screen saver during game play. This prevents the screen saver from interrupting the game while it is being played. When the game is exited, the screen saver is then set to its previous state prior to the game being started.
