That calendar is tacky beyond words, its the 21st Century FFS not the bloody '70s.

If I want picures of scantily clad girls I will buy a calendar of scantily clad girls.

In what way would anyone think in this day and age a "glamour" calendar for a flight sim is appropriate?

Thankfully (I hope) in UK we will not have the calendar.

Didn't most of the American planes carried nice ladies on their fuselage as well?
I don't see anything wrong with the calendar, in Russia men are real men, in other words they made the right move.

They are crude and tacky and really cheapen the product. Its not as if they are even well done or tastefully produced. They look like something from a 70s British glamour rag.
Glamour has its place and its not in a WWII flight sim.

Only thing i found interesting and really important-looking was the manual, which will also be in de regular version... right?
As a pdf probably. Printed manuals will only by shipped with the collector's edition. The reprinted spitfire notes are also exclusive to the CE.

Can't see the details from the video so I have no idea if the production is cheap - but from the looks of it, I think you might be the minority here.

In the end i dont think it matters. As far as i know the calender will only be available in Russia.
