Impossible to get the 1946 DVD game in Spain
A friend of mine have just bought a new joystick and he wants to go in the air combat simulation freak community...
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 am talking about buy the game on a store, not dowload it. I do hate steam from the very first time i bought Half Life 2...
Simulators are a freak part of the game community cake. We need to support it in order thgat new people come to our hobby and make it more rentable for simulations companies like 1C.

It's not a single copy.
The two original IL2 Sturmovik copies. Forgotten Battles copy Pacific Fighters expansion copy Ace expansion copy Two 1946 DVD copies. If a game is not in the game shop, the game is not going to reach new users. In this case my friend don't have internet on his house. I just want to buy the DVD game and give him as present. I will bouy it online the next time i order something to amazon.co.uk. But i just want to show that the best WW2 air combat sim is not in my country game shops. Perhaps someone in 1C knows the reason.

Like mentioned , you support them just as much by buying digital copys, secondly whats the issue with steam? Some might not like to pay online and some people want the boxart , but besides that? (It's probably more secure than you're local store if thats what you're trying to say) As for reaching new customers... Just like you're telling your friend about IL2 i could be telling people via any message/voip service such as msn, ventrilo etc and make sure more people hear about it. We're not living in the 90s anymore.

Yes, let's buy it online.
With a reduced number of instalations by dowloaded copy or computer. With DRM systems like PE-2 addon. With the need of internet conection. With the need of a HIGH spped internet conection. In my country house i only have internet by mobile phone usb modem. It's slow like a 56kb modem. Do you think i am going to dowload BOB: SOW by this modem? I need one full week to download 1GB. Perhaps you are not in the 90's, but perhaps everyone it's not like you. Young people don't have yet bank accounts to pay by internet. I just request a old and reliable DVD copy of a game...

Welcome yourself to the club of old-schoolers, who have no idea what STEAM is at all: If you buy a DVD-game, you will have DRMs like PE2, you have limited number of installations and possibly even need to activate the game online. If you order the DVD online, you also need a credit card. If you buy the game via STEAM, you can buy it via paypal. No credit-card needed. You can also install it as many times as you want, even on different PCs! Try that with a modern game released on DVD! And for downloading: Download it on an external drive in an internet-cafe. To be sure, activate it over your 54k Modem from your PC and there you go. Piece of cake. And as there are no limited activations, you can even use 1946 after you upgraded for SoW:BoB
