X93355 Posted September 14, 2014 Share Posted September 14, 2014 Ordered - It would be interesting to know how many sales you get.

Yurgon Posted September 14, 2014 Share Posted September 14, 2014 It would be interesting to know how many sales you get. I'd estimate 180 so far (maybe minus a few). So, we have 180 sales = 8100$. That's 2025$ per developer. Not too bad for two weeks. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dudester22 Posted September 14, 2014 Share Posted September 14, 2014 I ordered it even though I'm still learning the A10C. I buy all the Modules, but haven't had much time for any others while learning the A10C. Hopefully, when I have learned all there is to know about the A10C, I will have a better understanding of aircraft and learn the rest a bit quicker.

JorgeIII Posted September 14, 2014 Share Posted September 14, 2014 (edited) And I think some of the money goes to ED? Not sure though. I would guess ED gets around 50%, no les than 30% and no more than 70% of third party products. Some more intelligent guessing: LN should sell around 5,000 to 7,000 copies on the first year, without being to optimistic ($200,000 to $350,000 to split with ED). Why? There are around 50,000 ED Clients: There are 53,800 members in the forum. There must be around the same number of actual clients and there are much more potential clients to come. Since the new ED shop order numbers ED had sold over 70,000 copies of products (over $2,000,000 if the average price is $30). Check order numbers in your modules. This doesn't take in account products sold on Steam and with the older system. Over 12,000 TM Warthog Hotas joysticks where sold (this info is only from their serial numbers). Most of buyers would be ED clients. If 10% DCS clients have a TM Warthog then total ED clients are 120,000. If 20% have a TM then total ED clients are around 60,000. (I don't think that more than 20% of DCS users have a TM ). Numbers ad up both ways, ED should have at least 50,000 to 100,000 clients. There is no way no know how many ED clients will buy the Mig-21 but I will guess that at least a 10% to 15% of us, ED clients, will buy the Mig within the first year. Thats 5,000 to 15,000 copies. Taking in account future discounts lets say that the average price is $35. That gives you $125,000 to $525,000 in sales. Best case scenario over the years: $3,500,000, If total ED clients are 100,000 and the 100% of them buy the Mig. Im jut guessing but Im quite sure they are going to sell much more than a few hundred copies. Good luck LN! Edited September 14, 2014 by JorgeIII AKA TANGO-117. DCS Modules: ALL.

shagrat Posted September 14, 2014 Share Posted September 14, 2014 (edited) Then let's hope they don't have to pay more than their living from that! $350.000 per year. 6-7 people in the company. Subtract ED share at only 20% is $280.000 at an equal share it's $40.000 before taxes etc. that is... if they have to maintain an office or such, or have to hire external help... ouch! Given the amount of research and work going into this over the years I hope they have much more customers!!!!!

WinterH Posted September 14, 2014 Share Posted September 14, 2014 I am not sure if number of forum users is an accurate indication of potential market. ED accounts and forum accounts are seperate actually. For example, among 5 people I fly online with, I am the only one with a forum account as far as I'm aware. And many that buy wouldn't post here about the purchase. I'd say for their opening module, things look potentially positive for LN so far :) Wishlist: F-4E Block 53 +, MiG-27K, Su-17M3 or M4, AH-1F or W circa 80s or early 90s, J35 Draken, Kfir C7, Mirage III/V DCS-Dismounts Script Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Art-J Posted September 15, 2014 Share Posted September 15, 2014 Difficult to say. The AI model has been in the game since the last update, so no integration is necessary. However, they might want to release some small patch with hot fixes, while they're at it. i7 9700K @ stock speed, single GTX1070, 32 gigs of RAM, TH Warthog, MFG Crosswind, Win10.
