Well time for an update.. I found out why I was having the BIG problems with Lag. I bought a new GeForce 570 OC Vid Card, thinking man this thing is gonna SMOKE! Well imagine my dissappointment when it barely ran on stock low settings.....

After a number of frustrating hours of 1 frame per 2 seconds, I came across something I hadn't seen before. The software with my new card comes with a type of throttling function used for saving power. It was set to frugal mode rather than performance mode. I flipped the switch and away she went.

I've got everything maxed out now, I've flown for a few hours and she's a thing of beauty:grin:

All the best to Oleg and his fine Crew

Sorry for the delay getting back to this thread.

I downloaded the game directly, not through Steam. Ran the .exe install... and then in Steam found the place to activate programs. I activated the game... presto, runs in Steam normally.

So, download from the store, activate in Steam, have fun playing. That simple. OR... if it gives you a faster download (justflight was very slow), use the emailed activation code and download from Steam.

Nothing illegal to this. Its not illegal to purchase software from a British website. Once you have it, activate in Steam. No big deal, I fear folks my be making this more complicated that it has to be.

If you want to play buy it after few patches....

Sorry to say I just canceled my order for DVD with Amazon.

As beautiful as the screen shot are, the flying experience is higher priority. Lack of FFB is a bigger issue for me than the bugs.

I've been flight simming for 25 years and generally buy any flight sim as soon as it comes out. I haven't minded going through the growing pains with the devs, especially the original IL-2 series and RoF.

This time I'll just watch the forums and wait... I'm sure I will order again when things settle down.

Steam is now saying 24th of May?

What gives? Seriously annoyed at this. :/

EB Games will have it in store April 26th.

Not much consolation of you pre-purchased on Steam :/

sorry if it was asked yet, i didn`t read all the pages... I live in italy and have no internet connection at home.. What can i do to buy a boxed version and upgrade patches without steam? I can't find it in any shop, so i think the date of 20 May is the same for my country..

Thanks for help
