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 terrain looks much better at altitude and ground objects do appear to look much better. In fact, comparing to some old screenshots of RB3D it almost appears to be a completely new game graphically. Now if you compare the game to something like IL2:FB you may be disappointed but for a game that has been on the shelf since 1997 the visuals are top notch. I can describe it but there are quite a few screenshots below that explain it better than I can.

Right now there isn’t a better looking WW1 flight simulation on the market, with maybe the exception of IEN’s Dawn of Aces III, an online only game. This game looks fantastic in screenshots but is online only so it isn’t for everyone. There are other games on the horizon but they are at least 6 months to a year away so if you want to duke it out FCJ is among the best upgrades you can get for Red Baron 3D.
