Anyway, my point is, this has to say something about slow sales of the title.
What -does- burn me is the way sims like F-15 and Falcon 4.0 keep ending up in
"best of all time" lists, but GPL doesn't.

Thanks for clearing that up. I was wondering why a game that only sold
13,000 copies wound up getting a sequel.

The semi offical sales for GPL was 40,000 copies from the original
