SBP update release delayed again

Due to factors for which eSim claims only partial responsibility, but also names the Spanish defence ministry, the major addon planned for release before christmas got delayed. The new official language formula now is "not before January 2009", which means it could also last longer. The beta team of theirs also raises some points that should be addressed before release.

Their weekly progress update has been discontinued since early November, but the feature list already sounds extremely impressive. What became known until they stopped to publish the news, can be found in the SBP resources sticky. Beside myriads of minor bug fixes, the addon will offer the Centauron, Pizarro, Leopard-2E, Tunguska, CV-90/35, NH-90, RBS-70 (a SAM),and implementation of new model data formats, air strikes (abstracted or simplified), now activated selection of time-of-day and according sky and weather templates, and much more.

After almost three years and half a dozen upgrades and major patches for free, it will be the first release they charge their customers for, as has been announced from the very beginning that from some time on they would need to do. the price model is not clear, but will hardly be greater than 30 bucks, probably much lower. Prices for the complete SBP package (for new customers) will raise a bit, too.

The upgrade will install as a completely new and full installation, and comes with a new designed, updated manual replacing the old.
