You MAY persuade me to..... but remember that you will also need to install a Russian-language OS first. About 5 years ago SaQSon stated on the UBI forum that it was possible to install/run a Russian IL2 on an English Windows, but I never managed to achieve this despite my best efforts. The Russian IL2 discs check for the OS's language version before installing, and IL2 won't even install on an English Vista or W7 Ultimate with Russian interface pack installed- I tried that too. So you will need a Russian XP at the very least- I'm not sure whether CoD will run on W2000.

In windows 7 is very simple, just go to windows update, and select the complete russian language package. I install japanese and chinese sowftware in my spanish windows just making this update.

Tried that, but IL2:46 wouldn't install even when using the Russian interface.

Well, there is two more thing you can do:

1st : set the OS language setting using Regedit. some times, the localiced problems read only the default keyboard setting. Add russian in the keyboard layout.
2st : install over a virtualized OS, using VirtualBox or similar.

same here!, i would buy off steam to avoid giving any money to ubisoft for their completely unsatisfactory support. However, with IL2 CoD i need to buy it with a Nice new Il2 DVD in my hands to go with all the other Il2 disks i have bought since IL2 1.0.. I can buy other games off steam, because they are not the best flight sim ever developed in the history of mankind. But i really need the DVD, whats a man to do??!!!
