...just how far have we come?

I never required a DVD either.

If your DVDs are lasting a year, you need to learn how to take better care of them, I think. They don't make good coasters, and you shouldn't try to dry them off in a microwave.

lol at people thinking OP is referring to DVDs wearing out in a year. (definitely NOT what he meant.) I had to use a crack for a while, too, but I bought a 1946 DVD a couple of years ago to do a fresh install because I couldn't find the FB disc (I did as soon as I finished re-installing the game) and I haven't ever needed the disc present with this install.

I hate having to leave discs in drives, and not because it wears out the discs - lol.

funny guys

What did he mean then? Sure sounded like that's exactly what he meant although I'm assuming some over dramatization was involved.

I hate to live the disc in the drive too. It's inconvenient.

Actually.... when it first came out....in Europe...it had this protection in where you had to have the DVD in to start.
The later version on sale in the USA didn't need it.
I was just complaining that after all those patches from 4.07 up to 4.11 and they still hadn't incorporated the no DVD crack by substituting the il2.exe

DBW 1.71 superpack is for 4.10
It has two subversions, one is for upgrading from previous DBW versions the other is upgrading the stock 4.07 dvd

Requirements:
UP3 RC4 - 4.10
DBW 1.71 - goes over 4.07 (but its a 4.10 install)
HSFX6 - 4.11

Thanks Bearcat for the Nuggets Guide. I needed it for a re-install.

BTW I don't see an English version of 4.11 patch (only the 4.11.1) at Mission4Today.
Only the Russian version is there.

I have it saved on my old drive though.
