There are several reasons for this spurt of popularity, including the mystique which now surrounds the flying aces of that era, the joystick-and-gunsight simplicity of the flying machines, and the ability of today's computer graphics to put game players into the near-equivalent of their own private movie.
Not so long ago, flight simulators came in only two categories: "easy" with compromises in realism , and "hard" with realism purchased at the cost of steep learning curves, complex controls, and instructions that seemed to demand a degree in aeronautics. Red Baron, by contrast, is both, with many fine gradations in between. Dynamix designed Red Baron so you can jump right in and fly exciting missions within minutes of loading the game.
Later, as your expertise and confidence increase, you can gradually add new elements of realism. Every variable element of every mission can be adjusted from novice to expert level. You can start by adding realistic weather - the screen turns gray when you fly into clouds, and flares blindingly if you fly toward the sun.
Then you can graduate to realistic machine guns that frequently jam and carburetors that sometimes freeze at high altitudes. The ultimate challenge is to opt for realistic flying characteristics, which means your animated Spads and Fokkers will fly just as quirkily as the real things.
If you forget which era you're flying in and plunge your aircraft into a steep power dive, you might even tear off your wings. Red Baron offers a wide variety of single missions. Try the balloon-busting patrols to see plenty of fireworks.
But most players will want to try "career mode," which allows you to enlist in either the British Royal Flying Corps or Germany's Imperial Air Service. Once enlisted, you fly missions until either your luck runs out a fairly common occurrence or the war ends. You may join up early in the war, when the aircraft were flimsy indeed, or later on, when both the machines and the tactics had become fairly sophisticated. For the ultimate challenge, however, nothing beats a man-toman duel with one of the simulated historical aces.
The instructions offer a wealth of tactical advice, including sketches of the various aircraft and Zeppelins, complete with diagrams showing the arcs of fire of their machine guns and the safest angles of attack.
