Nah...definitely not.

Everyone go to Steam and vote for IL-2 Battle of Stalingrad so we can pick it up at 50% off :)  I just saw its in the community vote for tomorrow's sale.

I did my duty, but I'm sure the Twitcher masses will choose something more shallow.

[JudgeDredd]

ok...ok...I voted for it. But I aint buying it.  :-X

[W8taminute]

I did my duty as well and voted for IL-2 Stalingrad.  I've been eyeing this title for a while now but I hear it's a grindfest in single player just to unlock the rear gunner on a Stuka. 

I also noticed OMSI 2 is on the vote.  I really want that game as well. 

[JudgeDredd]

So hold on - Orion Prelude won? It's like <$1!! So more people voted to save 20p than wanted to save £10??? Really?

Some people are Pence wise and Pound foolish I guess. 

Picked up both IL2 and OMSI 2 since they're both on sale but only for the next 19 hours as of this post.  I really need to watch my budget but sometimes you gotta say feldercarb and just do it!   8)

I quite like the look of OMSI2 - but it's in German I gather - meaning a bit difficult when it comes to fares and the like

And £20 is too much for what is essentially a bus simulator that I will play for a while. At least Euro Truck Simulator 2 I have a company

ED has a Christmas sale going, you can get the mig-21 at half off for 24 bucks.  Well worth it, one of the best modules in the series.

I'm enjoying the game so far although I've only spent time in the tutorials which thankfully are indeed in English.  It's when you need to read the road signs in game that you need to read German.  Plus the tickets that the passengers purchase from you are in German.  Little things like that are only in German.  The UI thankfully has been translated into English. 

This is one tough game to get the hang of however.  Be prepared to YouTube or Google instructions on how to play the game.  The tutorial is a bit weak when trying to teach you the procedure and sequence of starting the bus.  Despite this somewhat steep learning curve this game will entertain me for quite a while but Eurotruck Simulator 2 was much easier to learn than this game. 

The real challenge for me will be trying to learn to fly in IL2-Stalingrad.  It's been ages since I sat down with a full blown flight simulator and I'm a bit daunted by the challenge.
