Эта версия еще не подготовлена.

Вероятно появится на сайте 1С онлайн на следующей неделе

This comes as a dissapointment to so many of us! but why not keep us informed also here at the english forum as it is well known that we will purchase the russian version when is out!:(

THAT is a good question.

Yes its a disapointment, But to be fair to Ed, I'm guessing they are very very busy at the mo, and of course it IS the russian version thats been released not the western version, So I guess the guys are concentrating and quite rightly on the eastern Forums at the mo. I'm sure Wags or one of the others will update us, just as soon as they have a moment to breath. Best things come to those who wait etc. Hell weve waited this long, whats another few days :)

Ok thats a little confusing as Wags post said the Russian download will be available from the DCS site on or around the 17th, Chizh's post says it'll be available from 1c online next week.:huh:

 

Maybe we can get some official clarification, on what exactly is happening and where to look? :blink:

[Squid_DK]

I guess it is a fairly reasonable business decision, the russian version is meant for the russian market, not the western market. I wouldn't take it too seriously pagadi-zaiet.

Not a rant.....

 

But I just dont see how this happens!

 

Surely if it wasnt ready yesterday then someone could have said...rather than half a day into actual release date!

 

If the retail version is ready, and on sale now, how can the download not be?

 

I know others have been waiting a long, long time for this product and the dev team want to ensure its right before launching...however,

 

On the assumption its a commercial proposition for the developers who produce the sim why not take the option to increase revenue by making the download available at the same time as the retail version.

 

There must be circa 100 non cis people on this forum alone desperate to give you the purchase price now to be able to download it (in russian) AND then pay again for the western version when available.

 

Seems like a lost opportunity to maximise revenue generation to me.

 

Just frutrated!!!!!!

 

My apologies....

Wags already said specificaly it will be available the 17th OR SOON AFTER... next week still falls in this category.

[Cosmo81]

My guess is that they have an agreement with publisher not to release the game on the download version after so many days, that way they make a little more profit ? I dunno, just guessing here.

Just requesting clarification as to where to buy as these posts by Wags and Chizh seem to contradict one another.

 

Not a problem to wait till next week. ;)

What Kuky said. Spend the time catching up on the Producers notes, the SimHq videos or maybe even *ghasp* read a book.

 

I won't lose any sleep waiting for Black Shark, I have plenty of stuff to do, but I will eagerly await the game, life is too short to take delays personally, just my $.02

Why do they contradict? Wags posted DL will be available for DL on their website and that DL version should be available on 17th or soon after. Chizh just posted that DL version is not really yet and will most likely be ready next week. I don't see any contradiction there.

 

I understand you're disapointed (so am I) but believe me it's not ED trying to play with us :) When the thing is ready we'll get it... see it's not just us "westerners" (read outside russia) that can't DL it.. it's russians also. And since we don't live in russia we can't buy it in retail stores.

 

so it's all good... I was hoping to be able to DL it tonight and don't go to sleep but what can you do... just little more time left to wait...

Make sense.

[-Skipper-]

Please understand, this is not ranting or flaming ED or something!

 

There's just a lot of us, who would like to know what is going on and a little information, if possible in English, would be really appreciated. If they say it's out next week, that's fine with me, but I can imagine this was pretty sure yesterday, too, but most new information keeps leaking in from the Russian forum, while the English site feels pretty abandoned except for those who'd like to buy the game and are begging for information.

Where can we buy the Russian retail DVD and have it imported?

As I understand it...you can't

 

Only way is to get someone to buy it for you and then get them to ship it out directly..

 

If anyone here has a Russian friend, do let me know!...lol
