Salute!

I remember this game. I was flying a lot with this game, and I still remember that this game led me to the world of Red Baron 3D Multiplayer. I would say that both of these games are good, none is better than the other one. However, there is an expansion of this 256-coloured Red Baron game, which had more crafts (If I remember well, the Nieuport 11, Halberstadt D.II, Fokker D.VIII and the others), and had a mission builder, that's why it was called Red Baron Mission Builder Expansion.

Someone wrote: "I remember a Red Baron which was capable to a multiplayer game where fifty planes flew simultaneously." - That is the Red Baron 3D, and if there's an event like War Forces or Red Baron World League, there are as many planes fighting, even today. Unfortunately, there are not too much people on the servers today.

However, I must say that this game is one of the best DOS flight sims. There are others that I like, for example the F-29 Retaliator (which I like to upload), but this is my personal favourite. So I don't have to tell people that I rate this: five.

You are like a 'King of Flight Sims'. :laugh:

I am just about ready to play and will comment on it later. Admittedly, I'm terrible at these kinds of games and I'd like to play something fun and simple, so I'll start here. ._.;

Can please somebody be so nice and even add the Somme Front map? It is not included in the zip file. This would be so great because when you start playing a campaign as an allied pilot you ALWAYS start in the Somme region. Its a little stupid don't know where to fly to and where is your aerodrome.

It's marked "Sold" that means "You can buy it - so do it from copyright holder".

It is as Grandmaster Spectreman said, the game is not available for download since the link shows where you can get or buy it.

By the way, the icons below are clear and intuitive...

- You are free to download it.

- You have to buy it.

- You cannot download it since it is protected.
