It was a biiig poster of all the then-included aircraft that I think came with FB, not PF. Someone on the IL2 forums posted pics of it a long time back.

That poster was only for the Russian version, not for the European version! Beside that, there are only 2 versions of Olegs sims..russian versions and the international versions. There is no such thing as a european and NA version.

No, the software is the same.

I've just bought this. I'm on holiday at the mo, so I can't install as yet but can't wait to get home and have the CTDs!

I have noticed there is no manual with the GMX Limited Edition version and whilst I do have the DVD documentary, map and keycard, the map and keycard (especially the keycard) is almost unusable.

As for the poster who said these issues may be the reason the game is more expensive in America...I don't think so! £29.99 from Game = $54. The game's for sale on Amazon.com for $39.99 = £22. So it's cheaper AND they are getting a manual.

And moving on to GMX Media. This is definitely the last time I purchase anything from them. Everytime we buy something through them, it shows developers they are a good source for selling their games through...when the customers are constantly ripped off.

I'm fedup with buying GMX products and finding PDFs instead of manuals and other "missing" items to other country distributers of the same game.

That's the last time...seriously.

Perhaps it's expensive in stores in the UK, but play.com as well as amazon.co.uk sells it for £17.99. Here i Sweden it is announced for 259 SKR which is about that level I think. Still - the printed manual should have been included anyway.
