Loading BOS to link to Steam?

[WWFawlty]

I'm a long time player of ROF and just noticed Flying Circus just went on sale. I don't have VR  (vertigo) so I've been putting off buying FC because I feel I'm just purchasing ROF all over again but everyone is moving over to it so I may as well join them.

The question I have is I don't have BOS (IL2 store purchase) loaded on my computer. Do I need to do that in order to link to Steam where I plan to purchase FC or is there another way of doing this?

You need to have purchased BOS from steam first to have the steam copy of FC. You would be better, just buying from the IL2 store and it's on sale there to.

 

Taken from the steam website on the iL2 store page: This content requires the base game IL-2 Sturmovik: Battle of Stalingrad on Steam in order to play.

Also if you buy Everything on the Store Website and use non steam Version the Game and Devs get 100% of the profits to improve the game.

Steam takes a huge cut sometimes 30% away from the devs pockets and we all suffer. 

Steam no the great innocents they portray, valve is loaded and has near billions and makes small games struggle with taking income.
