Steel Beasts Pro PE lining up ... NEW VIDEO
 

As I understand it, Steel Beasts Pro PE is ready, bugfree and stable and has been given green lights by betatesters quite some time ago. Nevertheless the late implementation of the dongle protection software again caused delay, so that the hope of eSim - who said from the beginning it was a meager hope anyway - to deliver the sim before Xmas cannot stand any longer, I personally hope and expect delivery during January.

Nevertheless the modders already have switched to active and start showing around first results, new maps so far. On page 2 of this thread you can get some new impressions of things to come, concerning the landscape. Just look at that awfully good shot of the tank lurking in the high grass, or the real-modelling of realistic locations on the Balkans!

Even me slowly runs out of patience, having preordered a month ago.

Again for those of you who have already stopped waiting, the sim seems to be finished, all they fiddle around with now is the only really new piece of software code that comes with the dongle protection and that now is under testing. Final relief is near!

And then they don't believe you are a warmonger... :rotfl:

The Bradley and the Leo2A5 (latter of which to be seen in that video) seem to be the tanks with most detailed interiors. The feeling of dynamic physics and cockpit immersion is superb.

If my memory serves me right then, you were planning on writing a review of SB Pro PE? Are you still planning on doing this?

Estimated impact of the finished work in late January or early February. I'll make it a short one only, less than 20 pages.

Nice video, thanks for linking, my kind of Sim.

can't play the video clip. what player do you use?

It should work with any player (I use BSplayer), maybe you need a newer Windows Media codec:

I got a postcard this morning, no email, but a paper-and-ink-thing from the conventional mailman. From eSim and SB developement team. It's an Xmas card, and even a goodlooking one, and in several sentences they wished me a merry xmas and apologized in writing that they were not able to get the thing out before Xmas and that they thanked for the support and trust displayed by preordering.

Now show me a developer out there that cares that much! They are a two-man-show in the main. they have to take care of their professional customers in the military, and run hot about the PE release. But they still find time to do this. I almost got tears in my eyes. Almost :)

Sorry that link is several days old and it seems the whole thread it was related to meanwhile got deleted, reason unknown. but I had saved at least one pic:

(replaced the pic with the link, due to it's size)

WOW, looks like a better time for infanterists.

Have you saved the video ?

The video is still available from the link Skybird gave:

Yeah :)

Thanks. That looks like fun. The infantry will appreciate all the new bushes!

Looks like an awesome tank sim. when is it coming out? anyone has some accurate intelligence on that?
