Slaine's Red Baron 2 News Page
-
Well one last update to say that unfortunately Red Baron II didn't float
my boat like the original Red Baron. I know many ideas in this strategy
guide will continue to be usefull as they are still applicable to WWI dogfighting
techniques. I'll leave the page as-is but of course don't expect any further
updates!
Best Wishes

Sorry about lack of updates.. you know how it goes, work, work, play, sleep,
work, work, play, sleep. Updates dont seem to make it in the routine too
much for my site here!

Yes! Finally I worked out my joystick problems, solved by a DirectX Serial
patch on CHProducts web page (tech
support section). The force feedback seems to come and go which can be
disorienting in the middle of a flight, but overall its just nice to be
flying again!

Updated my Squadron's link page today.

Was reading a review of Red Baron II in Computer Gaming World, interesting
tidbit about how Sierra decided to release the game in time for Christmas
(big suprise huh) but with the plan of bringing the game to its final intended
state with a set of 3 patches. One of which is already available on Sierra's
FTP site addresses mainly bugs in the game, but does add tracers to your
firing (very helpfull). The other two patches are supposed to address the
flight model realism and 3D Hardware acceleration respectively. I for one
cant wait to see the 3D Hardware patch myself.. <g>

Much to my personal dissapointment I haven't gotten to play much Red Baron
II yet. Mainly because my joystick (CH Force FX) works very seldom.. about
1 out of 10 times if Im lucky. But when it does work.. OH BOY.. the feel
of the resistance, the shake of the stick when I fire and get hit..
its exhilerating! I keep toying with it..but basically I think Im down
to disabling the "force feedback" if I want to play with any regularity
as I feel like its a com port conflict. I hesitate to do that though because
I paid 150 bucks for the dang thing ;) This has been one of the games I've
looked forward to the most and I really dont want to miss out on it any
longer!

Put my page up on the net today.. been keeping it on the old hard drive
untill this point getting it ready for release, hope you enjoy it!

I have a CH Force FX (force feedback) joystick and am having problems using
it with Red Baron II, if anyone else has had simliar problems please mail
me , we might figure out a solution between us!

Just wanted to put down what will become a FAQ Im sure.. "Yes I am the
Slaine who was on TSN/INN back in 92-95". Im sure RB2 will bring
back a lot of lost friends!

I see the shiny new Red Baron II box on the store shelves.. a titanic effort
not to buy it for myself, but I'm sure it's on my X-mas list, dont want
to piss off the loved ones eh? :)
