Il-2 Demo success..
 

I just want to announce that the demo reached over 40,000 downloads in 24 hours

I know some of you wanted to know how well it did, so there ya go

Congratulations on your success!

Wow! We had more fans than we thought! That 1% doesn't feel so small now.

haha, sure doesnt

So you would think PS3 would have roughly the same number of downloads, right?

I think it will sell just fine.

May as well get crackin' on the sequel!

dissapointed actually , highly dissapointed

Its a free demo , and there are over 20 million xbox live members

i think its only that low because nobody knows about the demo

yes i understand, peoples awareness of the demo does play a major role

sequel? too soon i guess, i need to see how good this francais can offer me...

i hope i ain't gonna notice any jaggy framerate issue on BoP...
:rolleyes:

couldnt agreed more, i see that this game were not in the spotlight...gaming news seem putting it aside...were they blind or need me to dive bombing on thier roof top? :grin:

Well, to be fair, the name "IL-2" has very little brand awareness on consoles thus far and the demo has only been out for 3 days.

Give it some time. Word will start to spread, and with all of the demo vids popping up on the web and youtube, more people will learn about it.

For not being in the spotlight, I would say 40,000 in 24 hours is not bad at all.

It is just a free demo, but most people don't DL demos of games they are not interested in.

Two things. I have noticed a framerate issue like in the review when the writer said you get behind smoke. Besides that there are times I've seen what seems to be a drive access pause everynow and then. Besides that, it's perfect!

Also, to all of you. I'll help pimp this game. Someone let me know on xbox live how to 'suggest' a download to your friends in a message. I know there's a way to do it so that it will quick link the download in the message. I want to help out the popularity of this game so we will see a sequel!

1C needs to contact xbox.com about getting a forum set up there. People have IL2 threads in the forums for every different flight game but no forum specifically for the game. I asked about it but the mods said that the dev/publisher has to ask to set it up.

I know they have the forum here but that would give the game a lot more exposure. Random live users won't stumble across this site.

many thanks for the answer bro, does this one apply to PS3 aswell? or its going to be worst? because i really hate if when i make a high turning radius or like your mention as there was multiple object pop up at the same time the framerate will start jaggy...

i'm so sorry if i'd sound like too demanding, but if let say the developer can overcome this problem, i say this game would be perfect!!!

until then i believe, i still need to play it first & find out by myself don't you think?:rolleyes:

Probably fewer TBH just going by there being less PS3 users.

I contacted the guys from Xbox.com, so I think the forum will be created very soon.

lots of ps3 users in europe will download.
between britain and rep. of ireland i know loads of friends icthing to download.
so lets take ur head out of ur arse sony.

Nice work :cool:
