Red Baron was considered a mighty fine flight sim in it's day. I had Aces of the Pacific and Aces Over Europe from the same company (Sierra) and they were excellent games.

Of course, the machine I played them on was:

386sx 20 mghz
2 mgs of RAM (that's right, 2)
40 mg HD
no CD
I'm not sure about the video card, but I remember I had to buy a new one to upgrade to 1 mg so I could play a game that required SVGA.

I wonder how I can justify a motherboard/RAM/CPU upgrade to my wife. I can't tell her I have to upgrade so I can play a game, for cryin' out loud.

I bet it was Trident :)

Red Baron is the only flight sim I ever really liked. The planes are slow enough for me to handle. I have the Aces series on CD so I may try them again some time.*

Lol! My first was a Headstart Explorer. 8088, 512K RAM, CGA monitor, and the "optional" 20 MB HD:
