Glamour has its place and its not in a WWII flight sim.
Aye up, Mr Mary Whitehouse is on the forums.

If the calender is not part of the collector's edition than can it be ordered from 1C?

Aye! And to quote the great guitar god Nigel Tufnel:

I'm pretty happy with my download option. That box art is hideous. Plus I've already got a nicer printed version of the Spitfire manual. The faux escape map looks like a very cheaply made print on synthetic fabric. The ugly logo right in the middle does nothing for it either. The whole collection does not look appealing at all. Good on you if you can find some enjoyment in it though.

Im with you on most of your points,the artwork is completely stupid and that logo in the middle of the channel where most of the action will happen is idiotic to put it mildly.

Well, there are not many things to map on the water and I don´t think you are going to use the cloth map to plot your mission´s route over the water, are you?

I agree that I would have preferred a map without a gigantic logo, but if they were going to put the loge there anyway, better over the water where they dont cover any landmark.

If the logo is also on the PDF/software version of the map and you are going to get a print of the map to plot your missions on, it is quite easy to get rid of that with basic photoshop knoledge.

Maybe because we are older than 12 years old?

I'm not against glamour, I just think it cheapens and makes the finished product look TACKY.

So all of you that are talking PC bullshit wind your little red necks in and go and ask mommies permission to look at the so called "glamour" photographs.

Leave the Flight Sims to adults.


LAST WORD ON THIS REALLY TACKY PRODUCTION.

Mr Wulf, you should move to the U.S., the bible belt would be perfect for you.

Ouch but +1

It's a calendar you can use it if you like it, its not like you are being forced to pin it to your forehead!!!!

Far more "tacky" in my opinion is the Ubi logo on the box

The calendar does not detract from the digital code.

You don't like the calendar, don't buy it, geez
