What's the deal with the Sold Out software version of RB3D? I loved RB2 when I reviewed it for a local magazine, might pick this up since it's really cheap...

But does it work?

There are problems with installing the Sold Out version under Win XP. Possible solutions are explained here:-

I picked up a cheap boxed version of RBII on Ebay and used the patch to upgrade to 3D.

Could some of the Red Baron vetrans give me an idea of the patch line-up that they actually use?

Many thanks

I use WFP installed over FCJ.

I use MissionGen to massage missions. I also use CM11's ability to set campaign dates to move through periods of relative inactivity more quickly while staying in periods of intense air activity longer. This makes my scoring pattern conform to historical aces.

Western Front Patch.
Rens' reduced PL terrain.
Greybeard's WFP FM with Zinteck's DM.
Steve's WFP gunsounds.
Other sounds, (engines, wind), that I took from HA.
Tom's Campaign Manager.

I also have a Hell's Angels patch install with the same terrain, Greybeard's FM for stock RB planes.

I use the dgVoodoo Glide wrapper in my Windows folder for all installs.

I use only the PL super patch (the one that predated FCJ) for terrain & objects plus Rens aircraft only .vol file, but I mostly fly MMP.

For SP I either use the FCJ or Hell's Angels or Western Front superpatches, each of which is stand-alone and complete. I sometimes add different aircraft sounds, which I culled from several patches. That's strictly personal preference, though and require use of CM11 (as does the date based WFP).

Thanks chaps, just wanted to see what patches and what order. Much appreciated.

Once again.

Now that SimHQ has stickies might it be worth some of the experts here (Skiddmark, I'm looking at you. )updating this one to save us doing the ?
