Ever Wondered About CLOD Sales?

[PhilHL]

i just know that 1c have now more employes for COD than they ever had and luthier said that they are developing the sequel. long time ago oleg said that they will only develop new parts for the game if COD will be a success.

Well the pressure is on with BoM, they have to deliver. If it's an awesome game then I'm sure no doubt it will spark interest in CloD. They will probably release a "gold pack" that has both.

That's how I originally got into IL2...I bought IL2 FB plus the AEP used at gamestop for like 10 bucks in 2004 after flying IL2 at "Flight Sim Day" at EAA museum. Then I went on to buy Pacific Fighters, and the PE-2 addon, plus IL2-46, and CloD. So they have made some cash off me and all of us over the years. Once you get someone hooked they want more and will buy the back catalogue of games too.

How does 10,000 +/- sound?

Pretty sobering number.

Now you know why moving to the sequel is so important.

We are a tiny niche market.

Giving us demanding flight simmers what we want (more of everything) is a nearly impossible economic model with the numbers of players the sim has.

Without Germany almost nothing would have been sold. It's time to speak german here in this forum :mh:

That is only a part of the hardcopies.
Steam does NOT give out any data. So unless 1C wants the numbers published we will never know.

OK, let me guess your age after a statement like that? In the 80:ies and 90:ies flight simulators was one of the major game genres. Every other PC gaming magazine had an aircraft on the cover... But those where the days when most of the gaming rigs in the world where owned by engineers

Yupp!

Played my 1st PC sim around 1986 on a commodore 64 in the barracks in Wurzburg Germany. Than didn't play one again (Dynamix Red Baron) until around 1991 when I got my 1st PC while going to collage. Did my first flight sim mod (added rockets to the P3 for a game called SWOTL.. Than made a lot of mods for AOTP and AOE.. Played my 1st true online sim called Air Warrior Online (Genie network) at a cost of $12/hr. Fell in love again with PAW 1942 which was the first 6DOF flight model implemented in a PC flight sim game.. Tried my hand at modern flight sims with a sim called Falcon 3.0, Than waited for a few years for EAW to come out.. In the mean time joined and played Warbrids for years.. Than a little sim called IL-2 came out that change everthing again. And than 10 years later.. Here we are

I saw this as well but I have also read that Steam don't release their sales figures so maybe that doesn't include the main retailer in the equation?

Would be interested to know myself

The really sobering thought is that even if that number were the entirety of clod sales to date, it just goes to show how insignificant are the antics of us 50 to 100 blowhards who hang around this place. We hardly speak for the majority, and if Steam sales were taken into account, we wouldn't even make 1 percent.
