These useful RB3D utility programs used to be available for download from the Wings of Valor web site, which sadly has now disappeared. All credits should go to the original creators, I just provide the web space to make them still available to the RB3D community.
Campaign Manager version 1.1
This is a useful program written by Von Tom that helps manages
patches and add-ons to Red Baron. It also provides the ability to resurrect
killed pilots, skip missions, alter game time, create a pilot log book, and
other functions. "vbrun300.dl" is a file that is required by Campaign Manager.
If you receive an error regarding this file, download it, unzip it and install
it into your c:/windows/system folder. The Campaign Manager runs well on
Win XP, but as far as I know it does not work on Win7. If you can figure out how
to fix that, please send me a message and I'll post the fix.

RB3D First Aid Kit beta 1.01
The "RB3D First Aid Kit" by Klay
Pijon helps get Red Baron 3D running properly on
newer, faster PCs. It addresses video, sound, joystick, and game speed issues. The
kit contains a "wizard" program that can help you install the appropriate
programs and files, based on your PC’s hardware and software configurations. The
"wizard" can also uninstall "first aid kit" files and programs. The
"RB3D1078.exe" patch is also included (you need this patch to see on-line
servers).

A Sopwith Camel from Camel Squadron (#84)
Flybert's web site with the original MMP squadron paint set collection is long gone, and in the interest of the remaining RB3D community I am sharing a copy of my Sierra/RedBaron3D/Paint folder which includes Flybert's complete squadron paint set collection (version 35g, 09-09-2008) plus a few personal Kamel Kings paints provided by KK_Zilski. Many thanks to Flybert for compiling the original paint set collection, and to all the creators of the various squadron paint sets.

Notes
The Promised Land site is long gone, but I think these patches still deserve to be made available to the Red Baron 3D community. IMHO they are some of the best freeware scenery and object packs for RB3D. All credits for the original patches should go to Kessler and the Promised Land, I just provide the web space.
The Promised Land All Seasons Superpatch v1a (download size = 50 MB)
The Promised Lands All Seasons Superpatch (PLv1a) is a complete enhancement of the RB3D game. It includes terrains in all seasons, high quality plane skins, sky and clouds, buildings in various seasons, rail station and trains, observations balloons and objects, a complete new sound pack, and more. Can be combined with HASP or the Western Front Patch (install Plv1a first!)

An updated version of the BAT file used to switch the patch on/off can be found here.
This is the latest version of the Full Canvas Jacket Control Panel by Cap'n Darwin (ver 2.2b from 2004). This utility program allows unprecedented control of various settings within RB. The original version of this utility was developed for, and distributed with, the Full Canvas Jacket patch by the Promised Land. This download is an updated version originally published by Cap'n Darwin on his web page at SWWISA, which sadly is no longer available. It allows you to select screen resolutions up to 1600x1200, and to tweak many other game settings beyond the limits in the original game. It is not only useful for tweaking the FCJ patch, you can in fact install and use this program with any version of Red Baron (Clean, Hell's Angels, WFP, etc).
Download the FCJ Control Panel by clicking here. (download size = 4.2 MB)
The FCJCP.exe and the two profile folders need to be installed in the main Red Baron folder where the baron.exe resides in order to function properly.
The Hell's Angels SuperPatch (HASP) is a great RB3D patch, but the full single player version is not compatible with RB3D multi-player mode (MMP). However, I have found a way to overcome this problem. The idea to the project originally came up when Otto von Stachel released the official HASP MMP patch as a separate patch. I already have four separate RB3D installs (stock/MMP, Hell's Angels, Western Front Patch, & Full Canvas Jacket) that together with some other RB3D utilities occupy more than 5 GB of disk space, so I didn't like the idea of having yet another one just for HA MMP.
I also wanted to retain as much as possible of HASP in MMP mode, rather than having a separate stripped down MMP patch. However, I wanted to use the stock RB3D cockpit instrument panels for MMP to play on equal terms with other pilots.
Well, I can only quote Otto von Stachel from his release notes for the Hell's Angels Multi Player Patch: "This is a scaled down version of HASP that is meant to be used as a separate install into your MMP version of RB3D. It does not include any cockpits, effects, ground objects, or any of the special shell enhancements from the original version." The difference is that I have not deleted anything from the HASP patch, only moved those files that are not compatible with MMP from Simpatch to Shellpat (+ optionally the custom cockpit files if you want stock cockpits in MMP).
After applying my toolkit, the HASP Simpatch folder (which contains the files that are used in both MMP and SP) contains 4553 files, whereas the HA MMP patch has 3163 files in Simpatch. So I guess there are 4553 - 3163 = 1390 reasons for using my setup instead :-)
The toolkit consists of two batch files that enable you to create a full HASP install for both SP and MMP game play. This is done by moving the flight model and aircraft spec files and (optionally) the custom instrument panel files from the Simpatch folder to the Shellpat folder in order to achieve MMP compatibility.
I have tested this modified HASP install in MMP on several servers, some with added security, and also on RSS servers without any problems. I have also tested in SP (Fly Now, Single mission, and Campaign mode). Thus, I think that the time has come to offer this toolkit to anyone else who would like to try it. I take all credit but accept no responsibility. :-)

This is a new MMP map for Red Baron 3D made by RAF_Python. It replaces the island map in the stock game and has many targets. Please read the install instructions carefully. If you use a separate patch manager, like e.g. Von Tom's Campaign Manager, I recommend that you install the patch files into a temporary folder to see which files should go into the Data and into the Multi folders, respectively. Please note that the modified in-game map file mpkbd4.bmp should be placed in the Multi folder.

In the Level FM V2 patch made by Rens, the stock NFM/AFM flight and damage models of the various (mostly Hun) planes that are known to be dead meat have been replaced with more competitive models copied from selected allied planes. The pilot head size problem in the Pfalz DXII has also been fixed. This patch is included in the set of FM/DMs that come with Rens' SecPlayer program (see Rens' RB3D page and his post at Wings-of-Valor ). The patch is re-published here with permission from the original author.
| Aircraft | Flight/Damage Model |
| Halberstadt D II | FM + DM = Spad7 |
| Albatros D III | FM = N24 |
| Albatros D Va | FM + DM = N28 |
| Pfalz DIII | FM = N28 |
| Fokker D VII | DM = SE5.a |
| Pfalz D XII | FM = Spad13, DM = Pfalz12 (head size bug fixed ...) |
| Spad 13 | DM = Pfalz12 (head size bug fixed...) |

To restore your normal Red Baron 3D MMP configuration:
Von DM's Campaign Manager or Rens' FM switcher are excellent tools for activating/deactivating the patch. Just add the patch to the patch library of your favorite tool. All the patch files should go into the Multi folder.
The MMP Real Front Server patch ver 4 (RFSv4) available from Rens' RB3D page has a bug which causes a crash to desktop if you fly the Roland C2 plane with RFSv4 installed on a stock Red Baron 3D game. Players using the PLv1a superpatch, Rens HQ plane patch, or the Hell's Angels MMP patch do not have this problem, which is caused by some missing files in the RFSv4 patch download.
The work-around so far (if you don't want to use one of the above patches) has been to install the Plane Parts patch from the HiQuality Planes section at Rens' page. However, this patch consists of almost 7 MB of files of which only a very small number are actually needed to fix the Roland problem. I have identified the missing files and collected them in a small zip file (53kB).

Copy the contents of the zip file to your Multi folder after installing RFSv4.
Thanks to 2Esk-Lucas for suggesting how to track the missing files.
Have you ever noticed that as you approach some river branches (where a river meets a river) from distance that it is wrongly rotated until you get closer? One such location is the river branch WNW from the starting point in Fly Now, another is the river branch on the western allied side of the MMP Island map. The root cause of the problem was found and fixed by Zsolt Fazekaszs and Mark_66 at SWWISA. For more details, see riverfix.txt inside the download zip file.

Unzip all the .DML files to your Data/Simpatch folder.
Many thanks to Zsolt Fazekaszs for finding the root cause of the problem, and to
Mark_66 for providing the fix!
