I agree, but they never answered to my invitation to discuss this.

Much mission play is done before nthe mission starts: if this sim teaches oyu one ting above all others, than tactically planning ahead. Fail here, and you get blown up faster than Rambo can say amen. If that is information overload for you, think of it as this: you can define either unlimited degree of freedom for the player how to control the tank's movement, but you can also limit player to just interior stations, just the gunner's seat, or just the TC's seat.

Check here:
http://www.steelbeasts.com/sbforums/...isplay.php?f=6 you see, tanksim.com's forum is relatively non-active and small, there are the modders and fans of SF and TvT who use it, but the SBP crowd tends to leave here once they got their copies, and move to the eSim forum, because that is where the SBP music plays. Regarding SBP, this forum is somewhat a jumpgate, and I am the gate-keeper: I grab the too curious minds by their necks and throw them into the wormhole. Bon voyage. There is a fun at the end of the tunnel. BTW, they have a newsletter service you can subscribe to.

Ah, that makes plus two on my list. three, if counting Werewolf also. - Check.
i wonder what the total score is today. judging by mails and feedback in the first year, I estimate it to be in the range between 50 and 60 people that I converted to tracks over the past 4 years. Maybe even more when considering the hit-number of my review at that time. most people who decided to buy due to it, probably have not sent me a mail. Boy I should have become a salesman. and maybe i should switch on my pm- and emailbox again.

some hours ago I finally order it! -was wating for the stock-
Today I was reading your great 2006 review (mate now I clear remember reading it in the past when I was working at a CyberCafe and it was from you ) don't know if the simulation change that much since then but the things I read from that version I love them all. Sure in 2.538 the little bugs have to be fixed... now some days to wait and see for myself thanks! ps: @esim: -again- my vote for a free next upgrade for Skybird, I bought the game by reading his replies/feedback....

Much has changed, or better, much stuff has been added. Also, 2.538 seems to be most bugless version they have released. Except the mentioned problem with small water holes, and an apparent issue with the bridge layers that in the version pre-2538 I have not had, everything I tried so far worked as intended. Consider that review from 2006 as outdated.
2.538 really is a version to stay with.

HELP....HILFE!
@ Skybird
I have just received the package and I started to install, everything went smoothly, it lasted quite a while compared to normal, but I got the message saying that the game had been installed successfully, and then it happened! I got to the code meter bit, I put in the stick, I followed the instructions and suddenly! Error 1740, some idiot script is missing in my windows !?!?!....now I cannot get the codemeter to react, it is not fully installed, bu on the other hand I cannot make it finish its installation because everytime I insert the meter into my computer nothing happens! I have tried to install the game 3 times now, only that verdamter code meter will not play ball. Do you know what to do? |

I would recommend to ask in their support forum:
http://www.steelbeasts.com/sbforums/...isplay.php?f=3 It probably is related to your Windows, I assume you run Vista or W7!? If it is not that, then they may refer you to Codemeter directly, if it is an issue with the dongle software. Anyhow, the support forum is very helpful and has competent people from the company answering, so - ask them. It's the fastest way to get the issue sorted out. You must not repeat the SBP program installation, it probably has nothing to do with it. The dongle software runs indepedent from that. You could also enter the script name into Google and try what happens if you manually download and install it - in case your Windows indeed is missing a vital file, maybe it got deleted during an earlier software deinstallation.

Werewolf,
since you are offline currently, and I can imagine how it feels to need to spend time in waiting, I took the freedom to speed it up for you a bit. Keep track of this thread, and post there from now on (as far as I know eSim does not scan tanksim forums): http://www.steelbeasts.com/sbforums/showthread.php?p=186571#post186571
