Some updated links, since I got interested in this:

Red Baron 2 German (280mb) – ftp://ftp.sierra.com/pub/sierra/redbaron3d/other/rb2_DE.zip

German -> English (23mb) – http://redbaronplayers.net/files/mmp/RB23DMMP09.zip

Also, install order should be: rb2_DE rb3d_spr rb23dmmp09 then rb3d1078

Basically I copied the links I found from a forum post: http://www.theaerodrome.com/forum/games-flight-sims/32343-good-news-you-can-legally-acquire-red-baron-3d-free-3.html#post349022

I might let you know how it went for me :) Ty Tim Stone

[...] Warfare 1917 è uno strategico della guerra di trincea. Abbiamo a disposizione checchini, mitragliatrici, assaltatori, gas, mortai, carri armati e molto altro e dobbiamo cercare di impossessarci delle postazioni nemiche senza che il morale crolli e i nostri soldati fuggano. Per essere un videogioco strategico in flash è molto ben fatto e non richiede molto tempo per essere terminato. Red Baron 2 sono moltissimi i videogiochi dedicati ai primi conflitti aerei, ma penso che red baron – nonostante la sua età – rimanga il migliore: in questo videogioco infatti vedremo anche aspetti marginali della vita del pilota che impersoniamo. Ad esempio quando ci abbatteranno se riusciremo a sopravvivere potremmo venire catturati dai nemici. Potremo inoltre trasferirci lungo il fronte e cacciare gli assi nemici. Il gioco appunto è molto vecchio, ma una attiva comunità di modders lo ha mantenuto aggiornato e compatibile con Windows XP. Puoi trovare tutte le istruzioni relative all’installazione della versione moddata del gioco su Rock Paper & Shotgun. [...]

[...] right. Ten days will have to suffice for prep. That should give me enough time to fit in a spot of Red Baron 3D (A&B honed their aviation skills during World War I), a few test flights in the Vickers Vimy, [...]

I did everything that you said and all of my main menus are German. My German is a little rusty, hah, so can someone help with. Is there a patch available or something?

S! All,

There is a way to convert the German version of Red Baron II to a completely English version of Red Baron 3D. Once you have completed the steps outlined above you can download this .zip file;

http://www.virtualaces.net/downloads/RB23DMMP09.zip

Extract it to your C:\SIERRA folder using folder names and allow the existing files to be overwritten.

This patch corrects the discrepencies between the Red Baron II patched (to Red Baron 3D) version and the Red Baron 3D version of the game.

There’s a keycard available in the docs section of http://www.wings-of-valor.net/

playing RB II right now, seeing what it’s like without the patches and whatnot. I’m wondering though, how do you accelerate? I can kinda move around for about twenty seconds before I crash into the ground.

Any help?

Ah go on then so!

Although Bioshock may take priority for a while.

Thanks. While this looks like a bit of bother I’ve had a hankering to play a modernized version of Red Baron, had no idea the mod community was that active.

Is it worth it?

I’m not sure where you’d go to find a more involving campaign experience. In RB3D you’ve got that living battlespace feel you get from sims like Falcon 4.0 or Enemy Engaged 2, but there’s also a real sense of squadron. Getting back to the drome and realising that good old Flight Sergeant Burnet didn’t make it actually hurts.

Varied sortie types, ace encounters, opportunities to freelance, organise your own raids, paint your own plane, transfer to other squadrons… it’s never dull.

The way damage influences FMs and the way it’s represened visually is pretty crude in comparison to IL-2. No flapping canvas, splintered struts, or streaming fuel.
