Take a look at the box then, there's a group of Spitfire's shooting down a Stuka. The more you keep harping on the IL-2 and ignoring the box art makes me wonder if you actually own the game at all.

They have a brand, its the established 8 year old IL-2 Sturmovik brand. Known worldwide by many which for a niche product is better than starting from scratch. They take those many users familiar with the name and then add those new to the flight sim genre and build from there. Sluggish sales? really where is your data to back up that claim? The data we have had is very encouraging that the demo was downloaded over a million times. Flight sims are a niche product on the PC format, until now we've had flying themed games on the console but nothing as realistic as IL-2:BoP. Its breaking new ground and was never going to sell like Halo or Gran Turismo.
