Red Baron II is a video game for the PC, developed by Dynamix and published by Sierra Entertainment. It is the follow-up to the flight simulation Red Baron, released in 1990. Red Baron II was released in 1997.
Gameplay
The game features four modes of play: Fly Now (a quick combat mode); Single Mission which includes several missions and a mission generator to create new ones;[1] Campaign mode, which features one of the only truly dynamic campaigns in a modern flight simulator and which replicated combat on the Western Front of Europe from 1916 through 1918; and peer to peer online play.
The game features many German, British, and French combat aircraft of World War I, and features pseudo-realistic flight physics and mechanics such as weapon malfunction, flak, engine damage, and pilot injury.
Reception
The editors of Computer Gaming World nominated Red Baron II's Full Canvas Jacket mod for their 2003 "Flight Simulation of the Year" award, which ultimately went to Flight Simulator 2004: A Century of Flight.[2]
