Looking forward to whatever UK region CD purchase option there is (RC Simulations, NaturalPoint, etc.) for Flaming Cliffs.
Happy to support the product with my cash but as a neutral (more of an IL2 propellorhead) am prepared to wait in order not to have to deal with potential Starforce issues (as a happy Nero user and regular DVD-burner).
Besides, on principal I won't have limited license stuff on my computer. A 5-install locked download or whatever it is sounds suspiciously like leasing software to me; owning should be owning and do what you please. I have the same objections to Apple's iTunes content (also 5 device locked, I think) and though I'm happy to pay to download from there I feel compelled to get rid of the protection immediately afterward. As this doesn't appear to be an option with Starforce I'll be waiting for the CD.
Enjoying seeing all the positive feedback and screenshots on here in the meantime though, FC 1.1 looks like a great achievement!
Cheers, Spinner
