Airborne1 Posted November 9, 2019 Posted November 9, 2019 I would like to buy the IL2 Stalingrad series of games. But I want the game discs with boxes and instructions sent to my home address in America. Can I do that, and how?.
rowdyb00t Posted November 10, 2019 Posted November 10, 2019 Actually I bought IL2 Sturmovik : Battle of Stalingrad on disc some years back. The rest of the series I purchased online. However I did a quick search and cannot find any copies for sale. @LukeFF Did 1C stop selling the hard copies?
II/JG17_HerrMurf Posted November 10, 2019 Posted November 10, 2019 A special hard copy version of BoS was produced for the Russian market only. All follow up titles are digital download only, regardless of market.

I, too, started with a BOS disc. I decided for that version after I saw some YouTube videos, because of the paper map included. The map itself was too small to use, but a zoomed copy did the job very well.
SharpeXB Posted November 10, 2019 Posted November 10, 2019 I think Rise of Flight was the last game I bought in a box on a disc. It was a great looking box! ?
Adj Posted November 10, 2019 Posted November 10, 2019 I first purchased BOS as a DVD from Amazon. This I later realised played the game through Steam. Thereafter all my purchases have been from the store.
Godspeed Posted November 10, 2019 Posted November 10, 2019 (edited) I bought DVD Copy from 2014 and im still using its license to this day. I dont think they have been manufactured for years. ( Someone might sell it unopened if you are lucky ) Licence from physical copy is for Steam. Its still on my shelf is quite rare me thinks Edited November 10, 2019 by Godspeed
Leon_Portier Posted November 10, 2019 Posted November 10, 2019 Yeah, saw and bought BoS in german markets as well.

Voyager Posted November 10, 2019 Posted November 10, 2019 What is the intention for wanting it on disk? Is this intended as a gift, or do you just prefer hard CDs?
Airborne1 Posted November 10, 2019 Author Posted November 10, 2019 (edited) I prefer to have the hard copy for my personal use, and to give to my grandchildren when they are a little older. Edited November 10, 2019 by Airborne1 Misspelling, and added info
Ribbon Posted November 11, 2019 Posted November 11, 2019 CD's are history, now it would be on USB which is kind of cool (usb with il2 markings/drawing) and you can use it as usual usb once you licenced your key to your account! USB could be in any shape (plane, pilot badge...etc), you buy a game and you get a goodie But i don't see it profitable for publisher in today's online era.
Gambit21 Posted November 11, 2019 Posted November 11, 2019 I'm old school and miss having a disk...but with the rate of development and huge amount of content being added that's just not practical. Or at least the disk would only be an initial install of BoS, with a huge update still necessary. 1
Lusekofte Posted November 11, 2019 Posted November 11, 2019 Do not think many got a cd dvd reader in their rig anymore.
Dakpilot Posted November 11, 2019 Posted November 11, 2019 Didn't the disk just contain the steam download link? Cheers, Dakpilot

Airborne1 Posted November 30, 2019 Author Posted November 30, 2019 Thanks for the info, I guess I use my DVDR/W to put the game on disk from my folder right ?.

Dakpilot Posted November 30, 2019 Posted November 30, 2019 With the speed of updates/patches and their size, putting it on a disk would become redundant very quickly Cheers, Dakpilot 1
