Some good news on upcoming patch for SB Pro PE from Ssnake. :yep:
New features
Added Night Vision Goggles.
Activate them with the usual "TIS" hotkey
Enabled the Hardness settings in the Terrain Themes.
At 100% hardness things look like they do right now. At 50% hardness vehicles and troops will sink in .5meters, at 0% one meter. Currently the hardness factor doesn't do anything else, so it must be combined with traction and ground resistance settings to match visuals with behavior. I recommend to use the hardness factor sparingly. Heavy mud should probably still have a hardness of 70%, fresh snow is the only case that comes to mind where a lower value is warranted.
Another possible use is to simulate the effect of high and dense vegetation, e.g. a wheat field. In the more distant future the hardness factor might also influence the effectiveness of artillery rounds with impact fuze
3D interior for the Strv 122
Pizarro PDF manual, in English and Spanish
In addition about a dozen or two minor new features, and about 100 or more bugs fixed. http://www.steelbeasts.com/sbforums/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif
