Ahh, thanks Willi. That's where I was going wrong. I had tried renaming the RB folders to eg ROTJ_RB, WFP_RB etc, but didn't realise that I had to rename them back to RB to get the game to work. So if I have made desktop shortcuts for the different install's, do I have to rename then too when making a selection?

Btw are you experienceing any probs with Greybeards fix of the Se.5 in WFP? I've been getting odd game behaviour since I loaded it via CM, so have taken it back out.

Can the RELOAD utility be used with Hell's Angels SuperPatch? I'd love to get the option of engine failure and hard jams

Hi -JJH-, yes you can use ReLoad with HASP; at least i can

The SimHQ threads inspired me to follow some of the links above to grab the latest patches, and give them a whirl. I now have a great SP set-up and plan to start a real campaign tonight in Esc N3. Thanks very much for the helpful posts here at SimHQ, the place I recommend my newbie frioends stop for starters.

I just re-installed this game after many years just to try it out again with new textures etc. and have been attempting to use the Track Ir mod to no avail, I've seen video of it working but I'm having no luck, anyone using it? Also I'm getting random crashes "RB2 is having a problem and needs to close..."
Other than that the Hell's Angels Mod looks great and except for just a few minor things it looks pretty good for an old sim.

I still get the random crashes as well. Luckily they are few and far inbetween.

ENB DX9 dll seems too have cured my crashes on exiting a server, joystick caused some more logitech profiler doesnt like it. But I cured that by enabling ENB before I do anyhing else. Now i can exit too Gold room without fear of crashing an creating a ghost of me in any server. Single player wise i have a bunch of diffrent installs for diffrent patch sets. FCJ, WF2, HA and a special HA MMP install which while I cannot use this offline its got all my gunsights ect.
All use same video profiles with Dgvoodoo and ENB. On top of that it looks great. Even my Free track works the Trackir which is excellent:)

To make the TrackIR recognize Red Baron 3D as supported game, you will have to go to the 'Update' menu in the TrackIR software, and hit the 'Check for Game Updates...' option, then restart the program as required.

Re the crashes, if you use a glide wrapper, try another version. Try also changing the terrain files. Don't ask me why, it works. Delete any 'debrief.dat' files left in main RB dir (after a crash), they can cause another crashes.

S!

OK, so I actually did not follow the guide to the letter and this is where I had a problem: I needed to extract the first aid kit directly to the root folder, patch 1078, first aid exe and then everything worked fine (too bad the menu is in German but at least now it doesn't crash) I applied HASP Haspsp3 and HASPbm and that worked fine, then I put in Reload and the TViewMP and That works (yes, I had to update T-Ir) Great no more Crashes! Oh and I Un-installed Everything and Deleted All the previous folders before Re-installed - very important! (now all I need to do is get some new sound files the current ones sound horrible) Thanks Guys, this is like my Dad's favorite Flight Sim - I'll be able to make it work for him now as well.

I found the installation procedure outlined at Virtual Aces resulted in a good install of Red Baron 3D with the menus in English, not German. My attempts using instructions on this forum resulted in a working copy, but the menus were still in German. The main thing is there is one additional step where you apply the Red Baron II/3D patch after the super patch. That updates graphics and the like so it is fully converted to English.
