    Nice to play - if you're into SP: Introduction to various Russian kit Size of the map is well suited for SP (= not too large) Number of Blue units to handle: not too large & partly even scripted Tactically stil a challenge: be cautious ...

    Fully agree with Kondor999's remarks: very varied mission, showing a lot of Russian kit -> fun

    Yes, a wadi But I can’t pinpoint this terrain on the NTC -map =>Looking for alternative solutions Thx all Best, K

    Not sure if I can answer your question, but what is the name of the map ?

    Hi MO MO, If there were to be an update and you could not find a way to pay for it, contact me: let’s see if somehow the payment could come via me - or not. No promises, but we could try. Best ! Koen

    Hi, Planning to buy a secondary licence for father/son/daughter games, but unsure if I can install this home LAN (checking), so might have to to share the license over the internet with my children => Question pls: how could this go wrong ? Where is the risk Thx !
  9. Koen
    Will do so as well, thx

    Aha, that would be quite possible 💡, as I see now that Antal was XO, 1st Bat, 63rd Armor (OPFOR) when he wrote “Armor Attacks” !! 😎 thx

    Hi, Any idea’s for a map that resembles the terrain in the picture below ? It’s from a John Antal book. I’ll check the mapslibrary myself, but if by chance anyone has inspiration that would be helpful, THX !

    Recommended playing: Good size of a map for SP: 7x7 km Not too high number of units for SP Very much appreciated: all Blue units have preprogrammed routes => you can concentrate on playing the units & less need to be in the map managing from there => varied gameplay: you can fire Javelins, be a forward observer, play with the tanks, or SAM, there are mortars also, etc ... British units, which are in general less used (SP), so refreshing + seems to be a realistic ORBAT (hmm, I'm not an expert here) Classic but OK mission: defense Plays indeed in 20 min, very handy if you just want to grab some SB-action, but have not enough time Impressive to see the ENY smokescreen be dropped (war-of-the-worlds like images 😊 ) Not really an issue: maybe different routes for Red (random) => more variation in gameplay, more challenge for the Challengers (but i'ts already vy good like it is) Detail: XO/A is crawling around at beginning of the mission => maybe STAY-orders would help ? Suggestion: make version with RED units (T90 etc ...) defending & NATO attacking ? NB exists in a US version as well Enjoyed it ! THX Tankriver658 !

    Maps: I get a bit lost with them these days 😉 Seriously, thx for the help, I’m learning ...

    So, I updated this older scenario from pre-2006 (!) to SB Pro PE 4.259. Incredible that such an old scenario still works well in today's SB ! And IMHO it's still an exciting scenario ! Not thx to me - but simply bcs it's based on the book of John Antal: "Armor Attacks - The Tank Platoon" !! Uploaded now (pending approval of a moderator) Last question pls: In the Zipfile of the scenario I also added the MAPS: a) package "AA-CROMPTONRI": this package a TER file (actually twice & identical, strangely enough) and an LNT file and a MRF file. b) the "CROMPTONRI" HGT file (3,5 mb all in all ..) -> Will this be sufficient for the "students" 😉 to play this scenario ? -> Or do I have to upload the maps also separately from the scenario ? -> Or should I even use the Steel Beasts Map Package Transfer Tools ? Thx ! Memo to myself: Want to update your MAP to work with 4.1? Read this - Support - Steelbeasts.com New at uploading maps and completely lost. - Support - Steelbeasts.com

    Lieutenant, * You're in command of a Leo-tankplatoon, on a counterrecon mission. * This scenario is based upon the great book of John F. Antal : "Armor Attacks - The Tank Platoon". -> As in the book you will be required to make several tactical decisions ... -> Stealth & observing may be more important in this mission than shooting. * The Red briefing contains a debriefing of the mission, which will help you understand afterwards what this was all about - Don't read it before you finished your mission (contains spoliers) * Appr. 30 - 60 min. * v. 2.3: adapted to SB Pro PE V4.259 - v. 2.0: 10/9/06 - adaptation from SB1 to SB Pro PE - v. 1.0: SB1

    ReShade ?

    Koen posted a topic in Support

    Is anyone still using ReShade ? And does it still work well ? Asking given the problems that made Japo32 uninstall ReShade ... https://www.steelbeasts.com/topic/13252-where-are-my-beautiful-particles-reshade-is-the-culprit-resolved/?tab=comments#comment-214421 How it looks:

    I proceded with the 2nd option and simply extracted the map. => That works ! Now I have: * a Package with a TER and LNT file (both called "AA-CROMPTONRI") * a HGT file (called CROMPTONRI) Doesn't matter that I'm a bit confused - maps are complex. THX for your help !

    Hi, Converting an old SB1-scenario with legacy AA-CROMPTONRI.ter & CROMPTONRI.raw. I did find on my computer CROMPTONRI.raw - but NOT AA-CROMPTONRI.ter (search full PC + see screenshot 2) So I skipped option 1: locate the map & convert it into a map package Instead I went for the 2nd option: extract the map. The Map Extraction Wizard however mentions: "AA-CROMPTONRI.ter. Embedded terrain map exists !" Map Extraction Wizard also strongly recommends the original TER (see screenshot 3) -> What am I missing ? -> Should I proceed with the extraction ? THX ! NB sry if I missed something in Volcano's FAQ: Want to update your MAP to work with 4.1? Read this - Support - Steelbeasts.com <<

    Hi, I'd like to unzip this older SB1-scenario of mine, to upgrade it to SB Pro PE. Question pls: which UNZIP-program is trustworthy ? Plenty of "free" unzip-programs available in the Microsoft Store, but free does not exist ... Thx !

    Thank you all for the good tips. Indeed it works ... if the charger cable IS plugged in 😵 + 60 FPS (sometimes + 40 FPS). BUT if the charger cable is NOT plugged in, it will not use the discrete GPU ... back to 15 FPS ... So same as for you, Scrapper_511, HP Support Community confirms your advice, stormrider_sp: Solved: Re: FPS Drops when switching to battery - HP Support Community - 7701264 All laptops will only game at half or less their rating when on battery only. This is absolutely normal. They do this to conserve battery power and heat, no matter what settings you have in the systems power options. You can change this to allow the graphics card to perform a little better on battery only by changing the settings in the NVIDIA control panel instead. NOTE this will still not be as good as gaming on power cord. HP recommends you always game with the power plugged in. This will prevent your battery from reaching its end of life sooner. NVIDIA control panel: Changing the Global settings > Power Management Mode to Prefer Maximum Performance will force the laptop to always use the NVIDIA card. Or if you use the Program settings tab, you can individually choose what program or game uses full power instead.

    Mysterious: * WIN 10: I linked SB to Nvidia RTX * Nvidia Panel: I linked SB to Nvidia RTX (and restarted) * Task Manager: shows that SB runs on GPU-0, that is Nvidia RTX * but I have 15 FPS What would be the reason ? Am I doing something monumentally stupid ? (I can upload pics)

    .../... and ran a first test, the Hasty Defense-scenario, on default settings. The result: 10 - 15 FPS 🙂 -> What should I look into first ? Tx !

    Wise words. THX all for your helpful advice ! I ordered this machine: HP Gaming laptop OMEN 15-en0014nb (2Z9C6EA) AMD Ryzen 7 4800H RAM: 16 GB NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 6GB 1140 EUR (reduced max. budget after consultation with das Ubercommando-des-Hauses) Will let you know how this works with SB Hey, I'm happy, a dream became true 😊 For memo, a review of a similar machine, HP Omen 15-en0375ng but with 60 Hz display instead of 144 Hz: HP Omen 15 laptop Review: Strong AMD processor makes Intel tremble - NotebookCheck.net Reviews
