RED DRAGON remember.......Fascist or Nazi swastika and symbols are banned in the forum such as in the previous post, the moderators have deleted my avatar of a pilot of the SS could also put the Roman eagle fascist but 'forbidden.

Law and 'the same for everyone and then apply it if you have applied to me.

If SoW follows this trend then I have to bear the pain and not purchase it for I absolutely refuse to sign away my own rights as customer and PC admin.

I feel the same way, bro! Unfortunately the system seems to work and a lot of people don't seem to mind the new copy protection (or complain about it and buy the game anyway!). So I guess more publishers will jump on the bandwagon. Sucks!

As posted in questions about SoW, it goes on with the check function.

implement the terrible must have anti piracy function in SOW. Due the many threads I can't locate the answer, so my apologies for this one, if possible refer to thread please.

Oleg, team(s), Olge,

As a virtual squadron (EAF, 1Java and my 322Squadron) we use Il2 since first release on Lan / museum events. On several occasions there is NO connection to the net to authenticate anti piracy. What are the options to run the network missions on such occasions?

Regards.

Animals! Great. Just make sure Daniel stays away from the sheep.
I bet he is from Maine, USA.
Maine, where the men are men and the sheep are nervous.

About the DRM, stayed away from RoF because of it. Now that they
got rid of it I'll buy the boxed Iron Cross that will be released soon.

It's your 'more bullets' sig that has him confused, he has fallen prey to the common misconception that trigger happy rednecks only live in the states. Truth is we can be found all over the world. (but mostly in the more rural areas)

In your DP, is it this 109:



Just visited that museum last Saturday in the squad meeting.

EDIT: it now has the engine cowling closed, and some planes around it have changed.

I think StarForce ProActive (such as seen in DCS: Black Shark and Lock On: Flaming Cliffs 2) is the way to go.

It is easy to use, doesn't install any driver and works with activation. Once you type the activation key, it removes itself from the computer. Then it's just having fun with your brand-new game without worrying with any DRM.

I've never seen any problems related to that - it works for both sides: makes a pirate's life harder without bothering the costumers.

I can't see why it shouldn't be used.
