Digital stock clearance...really?

I ended up buying from Amazon. It was $39. I paid more but it is downloading now. The other sites would not let me progress pass the screen that said it was not available in my country, they must have changed something that does not allow us to ignore it and proceed

Are you in the U.S.?
If so, I hope your experience was not indicative of
a problem for other U.S. customers...?
I bought from Justflight back in April...with no problems.
I was eager and paid the full retail...no regrets about it.

I disagree; a game that was only 40% finished that sold for 50 bucks is now on sale for 20 bucks does not = 60% off ... The math does not compute :)

Where ever you buy it just get the key and download it from steam it will be much faster.

Did you get it sorted out Mini?

I bought the game through Steam so I can't tell you what the exact procedure is when buying it from somewhere else. I do know though that you have to install Steam as part of the Cliffs Of Dover install, regardless of where you bought it. So, as CH_RoadDogg said, it might be easier to just download and install Steam first, then buy your activation key/code for Cliffs of Dover through Justflight, but download and install the game though Steam using that activation key/code.

some of us purchased for 50 euros and some (like me) for 45 dollars....and was an unwanted alpha and beta tester...I guess I sucked it up because I thought Ill see "new IL2"

Yes, the game is unfinished but you can still have a tremendous amount of fun with it and you know that it is being worked on. Definitely worth buying, especially when discounted! :) I was chasing down some 109s last night in a custom single player FMB mission (checking the damage modelling and testing their weak spots) when one of the AI 109s just in front of me cut quickly throttle and climbed, flipped over into the start of a split S and nailed me on the way down. As soon as I saw him start to climb I knew he had me but not enough time to do anything about it. Not perfect but you can have some good fun anyway!

This US site has it for $24.99.A friend told me they add a $2.99 activation charge.

I am a little confused as to why a digital download is out of stock.

From justflight:

"Thank you for buying a copy of Il-2 Sturmovik Cliffs of Dover.

Unfortunately demand has been so high for the game at this special price that we’ve got a temporary delay in sending out keycodes. We’re working on resolving this at the moment and should have it sorted within the next 24hrs. As soon as we do we’ll send you your keycode."

So they will send the activation code separately it seems. Not surprising that orders are high, I think most people realise that it's just a matter of time before it is in good shape.
