Getting FC question

[Kenan]

Hi!

 

If I understood correctly, non-russian fans will have to use credit card in order to download the addon from LOMAC site?

 

I live in Croatia, so was wondering will it be any other way of getting it say, thru a standard order or something?

 

 

Thx!

I just realized there is no way for me to get it via internet even if I had a card.

I'm on dial-up and this addon will surely be too big to download.

 

So much for FC..rats! :(

 

Oh well..I can always pack my things and visit Russia, meet it's culture, landscape..check out for Flaming Cliffs on the shelves.. :D

. . . . Now that's dedication - travel abroad to buy the full 2-disc set!

 

If you end up doing so, more power to you . . . .

 

I think 1C is distributing Flaming Cliffs on CD in Russia and some other countries . . . my Eastern European geography is a little rusty. I THINK 1C has publishing rights for FC in most CIS countries . . . . does Croatia qualify?

 

 

The cheap alternative is to find a friend with broadband and a CD-burner :wink:

Oups..what does CIS stand for? :lol:

Yeah it is, but in this specific case ie. LOMAC + FC, I would really like to have the original with box and everything..and you know, we gotta help our russian friends here..it's not like they're swimming in pools of money like some spoiled western programming companies..they need a proper reward for their work..so you know..make it possible to order the game and that's it. 8)

I think it's Commonwealth of Independent States . . . . loose alliance of former USSR countries. Like I said, my geography isn't too good on Eastern Europe . . . .

You can also make the argument that more money from the download will go to ED . . . . whereas if you buy the box set, a chunk will go to 1C as well :wink:

 

But yeah - the boxed set would certainly be something to have. 1C don't seem to skimp on them as much as Ubi did . . . didn't IL2 buyers in Russia get a free T-shirt?

Uhm..Croatia was one of the republics of former Yugoslavia (pre-1990's period) and Yugoslavia wasn't in any way part of USSR nor the eastern block. :wink:

Nah..we'll just have to talk them into making the box set available for the non-russian flankerheads and that's it! :twisted:
