DCS World goes back to 2008 but Eagle Dynamics goes back to 1991. For the record. ;)

I think the answer to the question of the OP is our love for the game and HT's devotion to keeping it going

At this point I don't think it is about financial gain

I doubt HT would keep it running if it wasn't generating income for him.

Does anybody have an extra secret decoder ring from the cereal box? Seems I need one. I'm lost.

Hope this helps


100Coogn, another "lurker" for the ignore list. I don't recall him ever having a positive comment on the game. Not sure what Hitech may have done to make him so negative, or perhaps that is just the way he is. I feel sorry for him, sad really.  :(

I haven't followed how negative he is in general, but posting years of two other sims is not very negative, but rather informative. IMHO, but maybe I'm once again lost in translation.

I guess it's more a break even than a huge money maker like it might have been years ago

Do the math at $15 a pop minus expenses ..I don't believe it's a sole income source these days

I appreciate his patience keeping it up and running every evening when I can log in

My best guess from Lusches most recent stats are that AH generates somewhere between $120K - $150K gross revenue yearly. Basing it on the pilot numbers per tour of late times $14.99.

Just a guess.
Back in 2022 after a loooooong break from 2010. Old name Ratpack, same for the BBS.

Squad I did the most tours with were the Excaliburs then The 172nd Rabid Dogs. Still trying to talk Illigaf, Coola, Oldman22, and Joecrow into coming back instead of being boring old farts!
