Vets/historians might be a little miffed to see mention of the "British Airforce". There is no such entity - it's the RAF. Especially in a product like this, that's quite important!

Second: Woohoo! Will be awaiting news of delivery/download options before purchasing. I'm in North America so not sure what the best method of acquiring a collector's box would be (I'll take a download for the game, if it's via Steam or other such system).

That linked screenshot (0018) is gorgeous. Most of the others have been seen before.

Congrats 1C & devs, can't WAIT to see the full thing running on a high-spec system!

Cheers, Spinner

does that screenie look retouched?

I have a simple suggestion that I'm sure won't make any difference, but wouldn't it be nice if the preorder for the collectors edition came with a free download version on release day, so that no one has to worry about not being able to play if there box doesn't show up straight away. (although I suppose the servers will be dog-slow for the first few days anyway)

Of course he won't, just cheap words.

It one of the most famous quotes in the friggin world so get it right

good catch! bad on Ubi$oft for not catching that. I hope that little error is not indicative of the support we can expect. If anyone comes across the system requirements, please put that in a new thread so we don't have to go through a million pages of an older thread.
Flyby out

I think the "fight against renegade pilots" may be about online play - as you often face then enemy flying the same plane. ie - you can set up an online war with all planes available to both sides maybe?

...or a 'what if' scenario with Adolf Galland getting his Squadron of Spirfires?!



Any suggestions on how I approach my wife about buying a new PC...


Do not worry about campaigns - I have at least 7 already planned...

If the computer you have now somehow falls off the computer table while you were cleaning it. You will need a new and improved model. I drove my Datsun B210 into a wall once. My next car was a Mustang GT 5.0

Have I missed something?

When did the rename take place???

[Tempest123]

Wow, great news, hats off to the dev. team, I'm sure its been a struggle for quite a few years and it must be quite a relief to see a finished product. Looks awesome. We need some really nice videos now

Agreed. I can't in good conscience buy this game if the DRM goes too far. And neither could I play my small part in making the sim a commercial success by recommending it to friends. Both things I ver much want to be able to do.

I'd happily buy 3 or more copies - of the collector's edition, too - if there was no DRM at all. Which might as well be the case since DRM doesn't work. But then I guess we can't expect executives working for Ubisoft to be in touch with reality.

Fail @ reasoning.
No wonder the niche is dying , we're a small community as it is, but this....
