Flying Circus: No Show After Purchasing

[Hanger123]

I purchased both IL-2 Battle of Stalingrad and Flying Circus two days ago from Steam (Valve).  Downloaded both but can only find IL-2 in my library.  It works fine however I cannot find Flying Circus in my library or in the IL-2 game itself.  Steam had not replied to my inquiries so am hoping that someone here may be able to assist in locating FC.  Thanks very much.  Jack mrlandser@gmail.com

Just FYI I would not post your email address in an open forum, it may make you more of a target for spammers.

Getting back to the issue, when you launch Il-2, and go into the quick missions, can you use any of the WWI planes? In the game menu, do you see a red banner in the top right corner that says Flying Circus? Both of these things should be possible if the game is properly activated.

If this is an activation issue you can contact Il-2 support in addition to Steam to see if they can help. Flying Circus is considered 'DLC' by Steam but it is built by the devs so that it can function as a standalone game if you don't have other modules. Steam makes you own Battle of Stalingrad before you can own Flying Circus, but if you purchase through the web store here on the il2sturmovik.com site you don't need it. Sometimes these two different ways of treating the game can make things complicated.

Regardless, if you've already purchased them it could be a problem with Steam or a problem with Il-2, so I would contact Il-2 support as well as steam. https://il2sturmovik.com/account/login/?next=/support/request/
