Air To Mud Shooting In The Hog by Andy Bush Let’s talk a little about how to employ the forward firing ordnance in the LOMAC A-10. While “point and shoot” has a certain simplistic ring to it, sometimes it just isn’t that easy. In this article, we’ll take a look at HUD presentations, weapon switchology and capabilities, […]

Back To Page 4 As fast as our fight began, it was over. I call the Americans. “Overlord, 711, picture.” “711, picture clean.” We’ve done it! Vasily tucks into his accustomed spot on my wing as I punch in the nav-return mode for a direct flight return to Sochi-Adler. The landing is bumpy from […]

Back To Page 3 His smoking wreck blazes a trail from left to right across my canopy, and now his wingman is exposed. I will get this shot; Vasily has missed again and I have the honor. He will hear about this at table tonight! The Turk’s wingman desperately jockeys for position, pulling a […]

Back To Page 2 ”712, pince right.”“Two, copy.” Vasily is confident. Good. On the AWACS link I see him swing out right, setting up a funnel for the enemy flight, which is still oblivious to our presence. My SPO-15 is beeping with their radar sweep. Soon, the two-man fighters will see us. They have operators […]

Back To Page 1 The GAZ jeep came ‘round just then, its horn sounding shrill in the rapidly lightening morning air. The early chill and dampness was beginning to lift, and we clambered in, shoving the flight bags of maps and notes into the back, haphazardly. The enlisted driver sped across the cracking concrete […]

A Lock On: Modern Air Combat Air to Air Mission by Cat I must be…what is your word, tovarisch…melodramatic now, no? I am Sacha Dimitrova Andreevna, but you, my friends, you may call me Sacha. Vasily, my section-mate…wingman, in your tongue? He and I have had many adventures in my country’s fight against the Sheik. You […]

Back To Page 5 Final Opinions and Conclusions If you have the money to spare (28 USD currently) and loved the first game then I think going to the FCJ web site here and ordering Full Canvas Jacket is a very good idea. The improvement in the graphics engine alone is worth the majority of the price […]

Back To Page 4 Gameplay As I said before, this isn’t going to be an in depth, blow by blow review of the gameplay aspects of RB3D. Most people who are interested in Full Canvas Jacket know the gameplay aspects of RB3D quite well. In fact, it was the great gameplay of the original game […]

Back To Page 3 Graphics (continued) If I had to compare the improvements graphically I would probably say they are on par with the improvements made to European Air War. In fact, the game has something of an updated EAW feeling to it graphically. While EAW has never been the beauty queen of flight simulations […]

Back To Page 2 Graphics Probably the biggest thing you will notice in the game is the updated graphics for RB3D. Kess (Kent’s nickname on the SimHQ Forums) had done an admirable job incorporating new terrain, aircraft, and objects into the game. Aircraft models have a more crisp, much more realistic look to them, the […]

Back To Page 1 Installation and Setup of Game Full Canvas Jacket installed easily with not difficulties. I started with a totally clean RB3D install followed by FCJ. Since my system runs with a GF4 Ti 4600 video card I needed the glide wrapper. A decent one that seems to work well for most people […]
Red Baron 3D: Full Canvas Jacket
by Thomas “WKLINK” Cofield It is hard to believe that Red Baron II has been out for almost six years. What is even more amazing is the lack of a replacement for the venerable title. With the exception of add ons for games like FSDOE and online only titles like Dawn of Aces there hasn’t been […]
