Help me pick my next 'Red Baron' name
It's a WWI air-combat sim, and I like to make up punny names — like the guy who just died was named Alf Wiedersehn.

I need four, actually: American, British, French and German, because I don't know which one I'll end up flying for.

5. Is that a real name or just a joke name
It sounds pretty suggestive if you ask me. Ben Dover

Or maybe it's just me with a gutter mind. :shrug:

8. Red Baron 3-D
World War I air-combat sim. It's been around a long time, but it's still pretty popular.

19. Have you played Dawn of Aces?
It's a good WW1 sim from the guys who sell and maintain Warbirds.

I used to love Red Baron 3D.

11. I'm writin' these down
Great suggestions, gang. Thanks. :thumbsup:

Forrest — I've beaten the hell out of "Biggles." Also "Harry Blighter." I've used about all the Python names I can think of without getting... well, just weird. Like "Bleedin' D. Mised" or somethin'.

Hey, that's not bad! :woohoo:

14. How about,
Jack King Hoff?
This is a great simm. I don't play it anymore due to problems running in XP.
I fly "European Air Wars" most of the time anymore (although i have many flight simms in my library). Just bought a Saitek X52 flight controller a couple of months ago.

15. Use dewdish misspellings of Lord of the Rings characters.
Your opponents will be so annoyed by having the horrifically unoriginal "Legalass243" or "xxXXGandulfXXxx" on the playing field that they're bound to make critical mistakes.

16. Wait, I got one better: Name all characters after Chuck Norris
Come up with all the usual dewd variations. I'm sure that would be even more annoying.
