Default Important news on the future of SBP updates

they are discussing two price models for using in the future, and have asked the community for their opinion. I strongly urge you to make your voices heared, if you do not want to complain to have been given what you did not want in the future.

Also, there is news on the next addon comming this winter. It will, amonngst other features, include armament and a mannable station for the Griffon chopper (demanded by the wargaming-interested Australian army), and finally a western counterpart for the russian Hind: the European Tiger helicopter (labelled as armed recce helicopter). Also this, although I assume the followng list is not complete:

Quote:
Bugs that have been fixed since 2.328:
  • Fixed artillery queue countdown display for all fire missions which are not imminent
  • A bug was fixed that gave computer-controlled units unrealistically high situational awareness in their flanks and rear.
  • A bug was fixed in internal routines evaluating the lethality of munitions against the currently engaged target.
  • Fixed a bug with helicopter icons on the map screen
  • Fixed a bug that resulted in short rounds if MGs were fired across great height differences (e.g. from helicopters).
  • Fixed a bug that would prevent the settings of event-based subscores to be properly displayed when opened up again for editing. They still saved OK, but displayed wrong.
  • Crew positions in network sessions are now limited based on the settings in the mission editor. The exception is that the external position will always be available in network sessions.
  • Fixed a bug which led to certain textures being picked from the wrong directories. Road and house textures for Winter or Desert themes will now be picked from the corresponding Winter and Desert folders and no longer exclusively from the Woodland folder. This is also relevant for eventual mod packages.
  • Fixed a bug that would reveal OpFor positions during the planning phase while activating Lines of Fire that would include OpFor units
  • Fixed a bug that would cause a crash when previewing OpFor units in 3D while testing from within the mission editor. It could also occur while cycling through units via the F10 hotkey.
  • Fixed a bug where all units were disappearing from 3D view when SB Pro switched from fullscreen to windowed mode during a session
Still no word on wether the Pizarro or the bushmaster will be included in the next update. I will let you know as soon as they have released the news. concerning the often demanded T-72, it is confirmed that they are working on it and that it is pretty much completed except 3D interior - and it is confirmed that they are not fully done and that obligations with their treaty partners prevent them from releasing it right now. It will come in the future, but not in this update for sure.

Again, participate the discussion of the new price model.

That's all for now,
cheers!
