Thanks Slipball, it does look impressive. Hope Oleg would get the extra if we go for the collectors edition. Can't stand the thought of the publisher making more than the developer after the years of blood and sweat that Oleg has put into this.

onlne activation ok, but ubisoft last year launched constabnt onlien connection and becasue of that im worried, i do not want to think how people might interpret what is written in teh box..sorry enlgish not native language

Constant online is very unlikely; one-time online activation is acceptable to most people.
(Funny thing: your grammar looks OK ... but plenty of typos, easily solvable with the automatic spelling check ... mmmmhhhh ....)

I believe the internet connection is just for initial activation, but I could care less as my computer is always on-line thru cable connection anyway.

I'm in favor of anyway they can protect their investmest as thats in my best interests aswell.

That's nice for you,

but other people don't have permanent internet connection and some have a very unstable or slow connection.
It's ignorant to pretend there weren't any problems.

Did I say anywhere that there weren't internet problems although I doubt they are as bad as some people might suggest.

What and where did Oleg promise?

just like in ROF.....but its better guys since that will prevent cheating...AND PIRACY (you would not be able to fly online)

"IL-2 Sturmovik: Cliffs Of Dover

The name is for real. Just got that confirmed. I'm going to change the name of the forum."


From goud over at SimHQ (hope he dont mind)

Online DRM has destroyed SilentHunter series... 90% of real fans where outraged and abandoned series, disgusted... I've seen it all.

Now... it is turn to Il-2 series - to end up in recycle bin of simulation history.

Very, very sad... after years of waiting - we end up with online DRM and Ubisoft ?!?
