Well I've got to ask, and why not be the first too, so I'll get the jump and ask when is this new Red Baron product finally going to get its comparison to OFF?

And if it's really built, will reviewers have the balls to compare it to OFF anyway, and if they don't, why not!

Is it just going to be some new game, with pretty graphics and flying, or will it tell me I've got a hang-nail on my left big toe, like I would have known if I was flying a truely immersive WWI campaign?

Cool, but until Damon makes mention about the type of game he intends to make, there's not much to discuss.

Well this is really sad, because it's been over 45 minutes and no one from Mad Otter has come here to answer these questions. Do they care about their customers? It makes you wonder.

I'm afraid the Fokker Dr.I's FM will be porked, and will they ever address the online fire bug! I had hoped for this Red Baraon Phase III, in fact I've said I hope it succeeds, but I give it six months, and if they haven't changed the online fire bug, it'll be dead on arrival.

That's some article that seems to believe it newsworthy that a 19 year old IP was picked up by its originator and some musings about a "maybe" product. Yet, yet, Eurogamer has not one an article on the current modern WWI combat flight simulator called "Rise of Flight: The First Great Air War". Perhaps you've heard of it?

So, my considered opinion toward the article and Eurogamer is that they can suck it.

The only way for this new RB thing to take wings is to have Mad Otter breed with an Old Brown Dog, and get some Gnarly Mad Red thing.

edit for grammar

You are all kidding, right?

What is the big deal? Like we can have TOO many WWI flight sims???? Unbelievable....

Gimme a break. Both OFF and ROF could use a little healthy competition.

No, I don't know what will come of RB at this point. Neither does anyone else.

This is going to more fun than I thought.

Well, we're concerned about the mafia connection more than anything else.

Who knows though, maybe MAD OTTER will be good competition with the Russian oligarchs, and that's free enterprise and therefore competition at its BEST!

Oh man Fly'!

You not only hit the proverbial nail on the head with these recent posts - you obliterated it!

edit: don't forget that this RB4 must run on a 386/40 with an S3 virge card too!

I'm lost... what's to discuss? It's a "maybe there'll be a RB4 game at some point" type of news report.

If it ever materialises, I'll be more than willing to buy and play it, see if it's any good. If it's better than RoF is at that point, it might even be the flight sim I play most often and I'll certainly compare and contrast the two.


...but right now it doesn't even exist as a real project, so what's to discuss? smile

Brain, that is so true!

As many of us fans still enjoy playing SP games on a 386/40, this new Red Baron sim better have options to play it on earlier systems too. I'm thinking Windows 3.0 compliance should be a no-brainer.

Why can't we discuss OFF without everytime having someone shut down the discussion. That is so typical on this forum!

Is it because this new RB sim has something to hide?

lol...

Agreed Fly.

...and furthermore...

It must have a built in self-auto-configuration utility so that all the super-IT-computer genius' who play this genre don't have to struggle with setting up their SB 16 cards or 2400 baud modems correctly!

Hell yeah, having to manually enter your IRQ, stereo setup and prefered MIDI device is a pain in the arse. Neoqb definitely should have made sure that wasn't necessary with RoF frown
