garengarch Posted March 29, 2010 Posted March 29, 2010 I realise thats its very early days, but how would you rate the weekends sales? Disappointing, as expected, overwhelming? Theres no sinister reason for this, it would just be very nice to know that the future of ED, and therefore DCS, was assured !

159th_Falcon Posted March 29, 2010 Posted March 29, 2010 I bet it was either as expected or overwhelming. A success in either case. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] The keeper of all mathematical knowledge and the oracle of flight modeling.:)
Thunderbird Posted March 29, 2010 Posted March 29, 2010 yeah would like to know if ED dont mind.. planning to get another license as well for my newly setup PC
Bucic Posted March 29, 2010 Posted March 29, 2010 The first hours after the release were definitely a blast :) Don't you worry, FC2.0 will be getting new users during these 12 months we have until the release of DCS A-10:tomato: F-5E simpit cockpit dimensions and flight controls Kill the Bloom - shader glow mod Poor audio Doppler effect in DCS [bug] Trees - huge performance hit especially up close
Squid_DK Posted March 29, 2010 Posted March 29, 2010 I don't think they will comment on sales, most software companies don't. sales number for simulations are always very low compared to "mainstream" games, on the other hand simulations tend to live longer lives, there's only so many ways you can complete any COD game.

Boberro Posted March 29, 2010 Posted March 29, 2010 I think it is success. Look at market - there are no many companies which produce military flight sims (modern warfare). So... good for ED ;] However maybe someday we will see FighterOps.... Reminder: Fighter pilots make movies. Bomber pilots make... HISTORY! :D | Also to be remembered: FRENCH TANKS HAVE ONE GEAR FORWARD AND FIVE BACKWARD :D ಠ_ಠ ツ
4c Hajduk Veljko Posted March 29, 2010 Posted March 29, 2010 It look like to me that Eagle Dynimics and Fighter Collection have built a bussines model that works. Therefore, this, and future projects are definately comercial success.

golfsierra2 Posted March 29, 2010 Posted March 29, 2010 The first hours after the release were definitely a blast :) Don't you worry, FC2.0 will be getting new users during these 12 months we have until the release of DCS A-10:tomato: Very good point. The release date for FC 2.0 was a good choice to keep the community interested in the sim until the next DCS module comes out. Expecting the DCS:A-10 in early 2011 now.... kind regards, Raven....

Sulman Posted March 29, 2010 Posted March 29, 2010 I have a feeling that it will do very well. Fast jets, an almost perfect difficulty level (you can strap on a LOMAC jet very quickly; but difficult to master) and I think they'll do a lot of sales. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
RedTiger Posted March 29, 2010 Posted March 29, 2010 I don't think that flight sims are as failure-prone as some might think they are. Flight sims, especially combat ones, have a built-in appeal. You fly around at high speed and you shoot at stuff and blow stuff up. Remember Falcon 4.0 Allied Force? Rumor has it that it sold hand over fist and was quite a succesful product, despite being a study sim with nearly 10 year old graphics. The problem with flight sims is measuring the success in terms of developmental time and money vs. sales. They aren't like the next Call of Duty game that is in developement for 2 years with an unlimited budget and nearly guaranteed sales of millions and millions of copies, thereby returning the investment tenfold.

rattler Posted March 29, 2010 Posted March 29, 2010 Producing products for the Private and Public sectors for ED appears at this time to be a sound Management Plan. Lets hope this trend continues.:thumbup:
key_stroked Posted March 29, 2010 Posted March 29, 2010 (edited) First, they won't share profit information with consumers. Secondly, why don't you wait more then 2 days before asking if the release is either a "commercial success or failure." You can't brand a product a failure or success in 2 days. No company will know that until at least a couple months or more. Lastly, this is a niche market. And as such this (to my knowledge) is the only modern combat flight sim that's still being updated through the wishes of its user base. Yes they had to raise the price, but that doesn't mean the company isn't going to produce any more products. This thread is premature in my opinion. Edited March 29, 2010 by Halcyon 1

garengarch Posted March 30, 2010 Author Posted March 30, 2010 (edited) First, they won't share profit information with consumers. Good. Not asking for it. "Secondly, why don't you wait more then 2 days before asking if the release is either a "commercial success or failure." You can't brand a product a failure or success in 2 days. No company will know that until at least a couple months or more." Because I care - and they will know if they hit their targets or not. Wags:"Sorry, but we don't comment on such issues." Fair enough. Think I'll buy another copy just in case :) Edited March 30, 2010 by garengarch 1 Vega 2700x /16Gb ram/480Gb SSD/1Tb Seagate/nVidia 2080/Win 10 64 bit Rift. T-flight pedals.
