    VERY early inquiry - but how are sales of Tobruk going?

    Probably way too early but so far are they meeting expectations? Above/below expectations?

    Hoping things are going well based on all of the work Team Fusion put in. Good luck!

    I don't think that something TFS is allowed to discuss.

    As if any flight sim short of MSFS 2020 has been in the Steam top sellers in the not so distant past. Flight sims are generally not top sellers on Steam, not compared to the competition they are facing.

    Hehehe yeah, the only way a flight sim would get to the top is if players spawn on a plane, land, get off the plane and start shooting each other. The one condition being that the time between respawn and landing takes less than 10 seconds.

    I can say this. I don't know. I can say this too: If I knew I probably couldn't tell you.
    I hope this helps.

    Not really,but then it's academic really is'nt it,I think the majority of us can work it out for ourselves tbh......it has'nt happened for them has it ?......come on let's face it,it's a pretty prehistoric game and some bright spark decided to charge the earth for an update that's a decade overdue.....work it out,Albert Einstein need'nt worry himself over this one.

    Personally I think Desert Wings has a very good chance of doing well, especially in the longer term.

    There are only a couple of WW2 flight sims of a technical (as opposed to arcade) nature like it, and it's hardly prehistoric with graphics which are almost photo-realistic, especially with TF's improvements.

    Going to air shows is hugely popular with the public, and there is a lot of interest in vintage aircraft. When Desert Wings gets VR support it'll give it a major boost.

    Also, my 5 year old PC with GTX970 runs it perfectly with everything maxed out, so it's a great buy for someone with a lower spec PC.

    I did wonder whether MS Flight Sim 2020 would mean many people abandoning every other flight sim in droves since all the hype made it seem such a vast advance on everything else out there. But it now seems that it'll be several years before hardware gets to the point where MS 2020 will run well with all its selling points enabled, and in any case not everyone can afford up to the minute hardware.

    So older sims which look great and still run well on older PCs are likely to be popular for some time to come.

    ha !

    well said DerDa

    I just finished playing Bao with my daughter (12 today)

    She wanted a birthday evening of card games and board games... so after a few hands of Gin Rummy, and a side order of Poker Dice I got my Bao set out... taught her the basics and and beat her at that as well.

    Happy birthday !!



    The reaility is she had a whale of a time.

    Because.. (to quote ATAG_Lewis....)

    It's all about the fun.

    If you forget the fun you probably need to work out your life again.



    Let's Play !!

    The thread is......'how are sales of Tobruk going?'......I gave an answer based on the reviews and comments I've witnessed on the web,there's no need to get all personal and unnecessary,chaps,just because it's not the answer you want to hear.

    Lol...You lot are very sensative on here are'nt you ?

    Re: VERY early inquiry - but how are sales of Tobruk going?

    Re your post SOW Reddog,yeah,I can't believe all those bug issues have'nt been addressed......that's crazy given the time that's elapsed during the creation of this.....masterpiece,it beggars belief,it really does.We spent time and effort,logging and reporting those issues throughout the golden years of ACG,as I'm sure other groups did too,what a complete waste of time.

    Re the Wellington,I'm still not clear on this,can you fly the flyable Wellington on the Channel Map via the editor ?.......if you've purchased Tobruk/TF5 ?,that's what I'd be after,if you can,then there's hope,great,if you can't then that's it for me,I would'nt be interested.......and as for flying over miles and miles of desolate and baron sand,that does'nt float my boat either,sorry TFS,just not my bag,I'm sure there will be those that'll love it,but it's not for me.

    Why are you here? Why play the moral card and pretend to be offended by Der Da's comments.

    The quote above is yours made on another forum. You have been a long term detractor of this sim and from the comments in the quote above have no interest in Desert Wings?

    A "How are sales of Tobruk going?" thread is surely of no interest to you.

    Black Top.......Don't be so sensitive,it's a free world,there is no gag on free speech here,get over it,just because someone has mentioned something against the wonderful update that you obviously think great,does'nt mean that others will feel the same way.....that's very immature blossom.

    I have been a member here since 2011,long before you ever came on the scene,it's a forum,people discuss topics on a forum,they don't just agree to everything that's being said,otherwise they lose their identity as a human being.
