 server. (which you can run yourself )
Red Baron also features Single Player with missions
in a World War I setting, with tens of planes and action going on.
Missions, campaigns, careers if you want...
The special thing : you can fly a mission over and over again. It will

result in a different outcome.

  * yes, we got generative AI  since 1998....

Install On Linux:
you can unzip the windows 10 install to play redbaron3d (on wine/linux and/or
games on steam (native linux)

put the downloaded zip file  in ~/.wine/drive_c.
click on it ( this should load ark) and choose "extract here". results in the normal \sierra\redbaron3d folder structure

you can then run the game by doing :
 wine ~/.wine/drive_c/Sierra/Redbaron3D/Baron.exe (or baronmmp.exe)

However:

to make things easy, you could use something like crossover (pay-for software, but saves a lot of headache)
or playforlinux ( is free & opensource,  most Linuxes have this )
and run it from the Linux desktop..

RB3D Meta server:

look here for available, working meta servers or copy and paste the URL yourself : https://rb3d/rb3dstatus.html
Joymap / JoymixUI : Linux software that lets you combine e.g. joystick and pedals in one joystick.
                                      works for Wine, too
vjoy / Gremlin           : software for Windows(tm) that lets you do that  too for Windows......

  .. ..
A must have if you want to run RedBaron3d with separate stick and pedals in Windows(tm) or Linux/wine. RedBaron3d is
too old to support multiple devices (a stick , throttles and pedals, typically), it only supports 1 device
and it *has to be* device #0 on top of that. (if your stick doesn't work: pull all, plug-in the one you want first..)
