In Spain it can be physically bought in Aeroteca, at Barcelona. Or if you are from far away, they send you it.
www.aeroteca.com
They also sell to the rest of the world. Expensive but secure. They love aviation, it's not a general store. and I say this without having any relation with their business. I'm simply a happy client. I bought Il-2 there, when it was still not available in the rest of Spain, and I left lots of money on aviation books and hardware (Pedals, Track IR, and so on) in that shop.

My personal politics is to never buy a simulator that it's not physically on my hands. Yes, I'm from the old school. I still never bought anything by internet. I respect who buy through internet, but a simulator NEEDS physically presence in stores, or it will never be known.
Ask anybody not related to this world for a Flight Sim. They can only name Flight Simulator from Microsoft, because they used to see it on stores and there's always stock.

Both options, download and store, are good, for different reasons; one for maximum benefit for developer, the other for prestige. The matter is to selll, no matter how.

I tryed to buy a new copy of 1946 in Spain as a gift. But is not available.

I just want to show, that the best WW2 air simulator have no right distribution on Spain.

Even a important spanish game shop don't have it: http://www.game.es or have it sold out.

I hope 1946 come again the the spanish game shops. When i see the game shops air sim section full of MS Flight Sims and not even a copy of 1946... i really think it's a shame.

I had to buy IL-2 1946 by net,cause I couldn´t fin in any "material" store.
Maybe they (spaniards) complain it makes apology to nazism...

I think that's not the point. Simply, spanish Ubisoft is focused in console gaming world (in words from their responsible).

A better distributor is needed. Related to 1946, Ubisoft Spain did not made their work.

I can not agree more

I agree with what you are saying. I hate to have to order a single game that costs as much as the postage fee. You should try going into a local game shop and asking them to order it for you. They re-stock every few weeks, so they can probably add it to their list of things to order. It worked for me, in fact the guy was so nice he gave me a huge catalogue and told me he could order anything in it. Good luck;)
