It's Buffalo, but not nazi, finnish air force emblem was swastika too, but it was not standing on tip and it was other way around compared with nazi swastika. Emblem was replaced because it was easily mixed with nazi swastika.

Oh, thanks for explaining me! Yes it can be easily confused with swastika!

See you soon mage!

This the second time I've heard of this happening. F1rebrand suffered exactly the same a few months back- I think he posted about it but I'm unable to locate the post. He had to resort to a new copy as well sadly- 505 and their bio-degradable discs!!!

I have discovered that after playing several hours with ps3, it became very hot inside, also heateing up the discks like a pizza.

Maybe ejecting the hot disc can damage it due very different temperature between inside and outside. Uhm i have to be carefull, maybe i'll buy a backup copy of this game, i've seen some 2nd hand copyes of il2 at store near my house, around... 15 euro each...

Probably the crappy three-pin holding ring in the case. Battlefield: BC2 has the proper twin-pin ring that's much easier on the disc.

That could be one reason, it's very tight.

My disk cracked too within 3 months of purchase. It was still under the warranty period as stated in the game's manual. Amazon.com, where I purchased it, replaced it for free. I would have bought the game again if I had to.

It's not just Sturmovik folks - I had to send a copy of Dirt 2 back to Play yesterday with exactly the same problem as this. I hope they honour the returns policy as the game is less than a month old.

My experience, the same kind of crack was suddenly there meaning the game wouldn't even load. Like the original poster, I was always careful, not a smear left on it, let alone a scratch of any kind on the surface.

I'd say it looks like dodgy materials are being used, or a bad batch of discs were supplied to the different companies.

I hope this kind of problem gets nipped in the bud before it becomes a more common problem...

Here is the post Gilly is referring to: http://forum.1cpublishing.eu/showthread.php?t=13567

Good luck with finding a replacement!
