Sierra's Red Baron details

History explodes in the Ultimate Dogfighting Simulation. Red Baron II returns you to that bygone era when man and machine first took to the skies in a face-to-face battle of skill and tactics. From raging dogfights high above the clouds to deadly strafing runs along the war-torn countryside, you'll take to the cockpit in an experience more detailed and realistic than anything previously seen or imagined.

Over three years in the making. Red Baron II is an epic achievement. From gamer directed features to state of the art technology, it is the ultimate recreation of the men, machines and experience that marked the birth of aerial combat.

Features:

User definable difficulty levels allow players of all skill levels to take to the skies in a challenge uniquely customized to their own skills and tastes.

Fly single missions for quick action or select Campaign play for a full tour of duty from February 1, 1916 through November 11, 1918.

Over 40 unique aircraft with 22 flyable planes from the early fighters such as the Morane Bullet and Fokker Eindecker to the later Fokker DVII, Pfalz DXII and Sopwith Snipe models.

The Dynamix Mission Builder allows players to completely customize missions from within historical settings, controlling everything from objects and flight plans to plane types and aces.

Dynamix's revolutionary new ACEAI system that recreates the skills, tactics and personalities of historical and non-historical pilots with unbelievable realism based upon artificial intelligence, pilot skills, airplane abilities, situations and real-world physics.

A true virtual world where each character, vehicle and event is controlled by its own AI system means no two missions are ever alike.

The entire world is alive at all times and battles rage whether you're there to see them or not.

The year is 1914 - it is the dawn of World War I and the birth of aerial combat. Young pioneers of aviation take to the skies to defend their homeland and lay claim to the crown of victory. There are no books. There are no teachers. Only the best will survive, and they will perfect an artform all their own. They will conquer the skies, take warfare to the heavens and be remembered throughout history as the legendary figures call Aces.

Dynamix's revolutionary new 3Space 2.0 engine takes a giant leap ahead of the competition with unmatched realism in terrain modelling, stunning graphics and the most advanced flight models ever brought to the home computer.

Multiplayer dogfighting action featuring internet, network and head to head modem support.

More than a doze mission types, including air-to-air and air-to-ground missions.

The Plane Paintshop allows players to customize the colors, insignias and look of their planes, using either provided patterns or by importing artwork of their own from any standard paint program.
