Wow. Just wow. I pray to the flight sim gods that Damon and the rest of the Otters can revive our beloved RB3D. Just having the name "Damon Slye" back in the flight sim mix makes me feel better!

I believe something will come of it. They don't need the code for anything but to investigate the DYNAMIC Campaign functions, except possibly, Squadron historical info (which was far from complete ot correct). This function has never been reproduced in any sim/game that I know of.
This would imply a serious consideration toward producing a similar Campaign behavior in a new WWI sim. I wish them and us luck!

I always liked the Dynamic campaigns in Red Baron.
It would be good news if they are able to recreate it with a new WW1 sim.

Over Flanders Fields has a Dynamic Campaign Generator called OFF Manager which does all what RB3D's Dynamic Campaign Engine does plus more. It was developed from scratch and is one of the main reasons for the immersion within the sim.

This is really good news,

I have played the rash of sim's after RB and I must say that none of them have captured the flavor RB/RB2 had.IMHO OFF did not appeal to me much as it runs of of the CFS 3 engine and the CFS3 damage model sucked big time.I'm really looking forward to a true RB 2 successor.I loved the dynamic campaign and the mass of squadron's and aircraft types.
