Regarding System Specs for version 4.x - IMPORTANT! - http://www.steelbeasts.com/topic/105...commendations/ Developer's Main Page: http://www.esimgames.com/ Instead of a demo, there is the possibility to try a Guest Licence. Start here: http://www.steelbeasts.com/sbforums/...ad.php?t=18921 Since release of SBP 3.0, time-limited licenses are being sold as well, for example 1-month, 3-months and 1-year licenses. Prices are 125$ for an all new full version of 4.0 (August 2016), 80 $ for upgrading from SBP 2.5xx, 40$ for upgrading from SBP older than 2.5xx, 25$ for a secondary license, and da iscounted price model for time-limited licenses, starting with 10$ for a single month, 25$ for 3 months, and 40$ for 1 year. Time limited licenses are serving the purpose of a demo. Replacement discs (without dongle) seem to be discontinued, and can no longer be ordered. All game files can be downloaded at any time, for all versions. Manual as spiral book is available for 16$. A pdf however is included in all software installations. Or order via German reseller: http://www.okaysoft.de/sbp.htm (more expensive than directly ordering from eSim, but might be your only chance in Germany if you do not want to pay by credit card) Upgrading: You need to have a dongle from an earlier version you own in order to run any upgrade over an earlier version you own. The upgrade is a completely new installation, it is NOT added to an existing old installation. Currently the price for upügrading to 3.0 is 40 US$. That is for a download of the new software, and getting access to a new licence put on your already existing dongle. You can download the simulation software alone, but without an new-licensed dongle it will not work.

Ok I will add a few, just to prove that i do own SBPro Pe :D This is vanilla, no mods. Just everything cranked up 1600x 1200 and all visual distances for ground and objects to 100%. This sim is amazing and the graphics is very good. i have never seen a landscape done this good with not to fancy graphics engine. Colors, contours etc feels very real. And then we haven't even started to talk about the tank simulation...:up:
a bit nervous with all this fog... http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a1...S_00_09_25.jpg got ya! http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a1...S_00_13_08.jpg yep, better run... Leo on the horizon.. spot it http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a1...S_00_26_35.jpg birds view with leo and it's prey in distance http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a1...S_00_28_09.jpg |
Either I need to get new video drivers, or this sim needs some serious texture upgrades!:rotfl:

Have to say "M1 Tank Platoon II" is getting a little long in the tooth!!!:lol: |
I know, just making a little comparison on how far graphics have come,lol Have been reading all the indepth reviews of SBP, and with its size of nearly 2 GB installed, I've yet to see a definitive description of what areas of the world this sim will show?

The following is a link to a document listing the height maps that ship with the game:
SB Maps The height maps are just the elevation or relief data for that area. There is a map editor with which a wide variety of themed (woodland winter or Australian, e.g.) vegetation can be painted onto the relief data to create a terrain map. A good number of terrain maps are included as well. While the terrain maps can be altered, changed, or improved in the editor, the height maps cannot. There are, however, a small number of maps floating about that are not part of the initial release. Given the variety of height maps, the versatility of the map editor, the number of themes, and sufficient time, any non-urban area (there are very few man-made objects available in the editor), except maybe the polar ice caps, could be simulated. |
