Activation through any US site is blocked... Believe me I've tried... I am quite prepared to accept it in it's present form...
I have spent the last 25+ years tweaking many... MANY... system configurations in an effort to beat down every flight sim that has sucked me in... as in, I have spent more hours getting them to even load, never mind run like stink!
Call me stupid, but those are the facts...
If anyone has a problem with COD, ask for your money back... And move on...
If that is not an option... Go code your own game...
If that is not an option... Try to be patient...
The chance of any game being released in a perfect state is extremely rare, and I for one never expect it.

I regard them all as a tribute to the memory of the men who lived and DIED during an incredible period in history

If this sounds crass to anyone, tough... I appreciate the effort involved in recreating those times...
In the end it's a $50 game... I can drink that in a weekend when the wife's not looking...

But my world does not revolve around my computer... It's just a nice break from reality...
Oh, to have been born around 1920 or so...

With the greatest respect retrojet, you may want it released as it is in the USA (and I can say that it's worth having even with all its current faults) but I do have it and I don't want it released yet as I am afraid the extremely important US market will bury it alive due to the bugs and MG may fall off the cliff as a result. Then it may never be fixed.

I'm really sorry you can't get to it yet as you're obviously one of the people willing to live with the bugs for a while. I think the MP sound bug may be the key, they may release it over there once its fixed. Luthier said at the last patch it would take 'several months' but then last week when he released the 'mugs gallery' he said it was going better than expected.

We're all hanging on his every (occasional) word and my gut feeling is September for the sound bug fix, but then I'm an optimist.

I used to be a pessimist but I was depressingly wrong about everything

And in that vein, I think if I had been born in 1920 and had actually mnade it as a fighter pilot I would probably have lasted about..ummm.. 5 minutes
