How are sales going?

I feel it's a very different marketplace now than it was for the original IL2.
This combined with the rather spotty release is not a good combination, I as well here in the US was extremely on the fence about buying this sim after reading all the negative things about it, thought 1C in their niche of producing highly ambitious flight sims deserves some support, now I am more than happy I bought the game.

I have not even seen any marketing for the game here in the US. This, as I wrote is quite a niche game for people who love realistic flight sims and thus are a bit seperate from the instant gratification crowd. And those simmers are not really found in massive abundance in the marketplace. If then some of the few even willing to play a non-arcade game are put off by various bugs and issues, not always to the game's fault though, well, then you have a really, really bad start.
It seems to me if someone has a bad experience with a product they are definitely going to tell everyone, propagading the bad rep of the sim, if people are happy and have no problems with said product they might tell other people.

So it's a rough start, I have no doubt the game will very much improve over time, peformance wise and content wise, maybe UBI can at least put some marketing out there, since I believe the sim is in a very playable state right now and 1C needs not only support from the community but very much from their publisher.

Like I said, I am a happy camper, wouldn't want to miss this sim.
