I finally broke down and got the German digital download version...

I have only played the training scenarios, but for any of you who are still apprehensive about the purchase, download and patch process, I can confidently tell you that its a simple and smooth process! I know Magnum covered a lot of the purchase and install details in another thread, so I won't repeat...

After submitting your credit card info, you are immediately taken to the download page...this page also has your 2 serial keys...don't worry, you get an email containing not only the serial keys, but also the download links in case you ever need to redownload...

Download was smooth...its 2 files...one is just over 1 gig and the other is about 1.6 gigs...it took me about 3 hours to download both...

Install was smooth and went along without a hitch...I ran it once to make sure everything worked...

Then, I applied the German 1.02 patch...this patch is about 108 mb and fixes a lot of issues with the AI and flight modelling...its a must have...

Patch installed perfectly...

Finally, I applied the latest english language patch by 6th Sense...I think its version 0.9...

I now have a fully patched german version that for all intents and purposes is an english copy of the game...

No hastle, no stress...

Well, I'm downloading it now. So there will be some fresh newbie meat for you guys \:\)

Any of you have a link to the patch that converts it to english? German to english patch.

@ pvtkramer

Is the CP in the downloaded version (from Sprocket) clean and non-intrusive? Are there any wierd drivers or services loaded or is it a "one time on-line" registration after you payed?

I'm all for recommending the Sprocket version if it has a non-intrusive CP and gives BIS more money in their pockets!

Thanks for clarifying pvtkramer! Sounds like a CP scheme done the right way, I will recommend it to my co-op friends.
