A slight change in tint on the Abrams to more resemble a ODS paint scheme. Addition of markings on side skirt. If anyone would like this one let me know and I'll drop it in the download section. Rework was accomplished using Adobe Photoshop 7.0. All feedback is appreciated. Just unzip and place in the textures folder and desert sub-folder.

Same treatment as M1 plus I added tarps to side skirts. Again Adobe Photoshop 7.0. All feedback appreciated.

The Stonemasons have been busy at Congo Studios. Some variety in the terrain department. Just unzip into mods folder, Textures subfolder and woodland subfolder. A rework of the stone bridge used in SB Pro.

T-72M1 in Finnish markings.

A hi resolution Leopard 2A4 with detailing added to the towing cable and Tis on turret. Camo has been converted to hard line rather than soft edges. Thanks to Zipuli for his time and input. I've included the bmp for the turret top and some dirtied up tracks. Cleaned up and detailed ID numbers on rear and front of hull. As time permits this same treatment will be applied to all vehicules in my Finnish Armor Package. Best used with Zipulis and Blakes Finnish Scenarios

A detailed T-72. Added details to fender skirts and hinge point for skirts. Photos can be seen in forums. Slight detailing to road wheels and drive sprocket. Stowage boxes on turret were detailed. Comments and suggestions appreciated.

FINN MISSIONPACK V.1.0 This missionpack includes following single-player missions (version): -Bad Santa (1.0) -Elvis ringing doorbell (1.2) -Hasty attack (summer) (1.5) -Hasty attack (autumn) (1.5) -Head on attack (summer) (1.5) -Head on attack (winter) (1.5) All missions are updated after the release of the first patch. This missionpack also includes 6 theme files, that are used in the missions. The undergrowth size has been reduced a little to allow player to see enemies at the same time they are able to see him. This may not be true with infantry - it's intentional! The difficulty level may be quite high, so few tips: -try to fight where you are strong -> enemy doesn't have TI in all vehicles -> infantry is DEADLY in woods, use your own infantry to fight enemy infantry before you rush to the bushes with your Leopards! -> Find hull-down positions whenever possible -> don't stay in one place for too long after being spotted because you're most likely going to be hit with arty -> try to engage smaller enemies with full force rather than attacking everybody with only a small force -if you have artillery, use it! It'll save you from many tough situations! Also remember the power of smoke! -your ready rack is never half full - it's always half empty! -The missions have time limits, but the limits won't be too hard -> take it easy, if you don't know where the enemy is, don't go full steam ahead and hope you'll see them first -remember that your BMP's don't have missiles, if they're not described as ATGM-units! I hope you enjoy playing these missions as much as I enjoyed creating them! Please send feedback and comments etc. about these missions to the Steel Beasts forums, or directly to my e-mail. Best used with Finnish skins for blue side! (I recommend the ones made by Congo and myself - they'll match the theme files perfectly!) Also create a folder called "red" in the mods/"theme"-folders and copy the skins that you wish to be used by the red side there. That way you will not have Finn skins for both sides! 13th May 2006 Zipuli (ivarha@hotmail.com)

A collection of all my desert skins. None have been super detailed yet that will happen after Zip and Congo finish their work with the Finnish Armor but these should suffice. The Abrams has been slightly reworked from my original version that is in the dl section, I've also included the TIS image for the M1, all files except the dds files for the hemmt can be placed in the mods folders under desert those files will need to go under program files/ esim/ sb pro/ textures /desert. enjoy your stay in Bagdad.

A rework of my original desert abrams to CZ Studios standards. Detailing of entire vehicle, additional shadowing, File includes turret top, TIS view, and tracks, Enjoy your stay in the desert and don't forget to stay hydrated.

The TIS view for CZ Studios Desert Bradley, place in TIS folder in mods you know the drill. I'm not sure where the TIS draws its track file from so I placed our updated track file in all folders and it seemed to work. Don't forget to back up the original.

M-901 rendered in desert paint scheme, file also includes M-113 top of hull bitmap so the color is correct when you are in the TC,s position. Drop all bitmaps in your mods folder under textures/desert. Enjoy

The M-113 built bt Tenix Defence rendered in desert colours. The pack includes four different versions, No Markings, Markings, No Markings with Camo Nets and Markings and Camo Nets. There are three files in each folder one for the basic vehicle, one for the storage boxes on aft hull and one for the Jerry Cans.

This file includes 6 skin-files for the T-72M1 in green colour. The track file is also included. The skins are: Soviet: Soviet green colour, Guards unit markings DDR: NVA green colour, NVA markings (This is made with the German guys at steelbeastspro.com in mind! Thanks for the excellent site!) No markings: Soviet green, no national etc. markings and they all come with camo nets and some light foliage for extra camo, or without - however you prefer it! The skin has lots of additional detail to make it look like it has seen some combat. This includes broken parts, towing cable moved to the rear of the vehicle, additional track-pieces in front and back hull of the tank, camo nets and some foliage to cover the vehicle's front and sides, rust and of course a load of mud and dirt. Also the markings are made to look like they are added by the crews and not for parades. And of course the overall detail of the vehicle is much improved! To install copy the skin you want to use + track to your "my documents\esim games\Steel Beasts\Mods\Textures\(theme)\" and if you wish to have it only for red side, copy to "my documents\esim games\Steel Beasts\Mods\Textures\(theme)\red\" The skin is made by Congo & Zipuli, Congo being responsible for the detailing and good looks of the tank, and Zip for the bad condition it is in + camo nets, track and markings! Hope you enjoy watching the skins in your gunner's primary sight! Version 1.0 (3 Sep 2006) CZ Studios

Both in Simulation Leo 1,s in a desert scheme. This pack also includes the tarp and turret top. Since the AS1 renders its mg3 mount from the Leo 2A5 I,ve included that also. Place all bmp files in your mods folder/textures/desert.

Leopard 1,s in early dutch paint scheme

Stone Cathedral

A rework of YatYas M-113 which was a rework of my original desert M-113. Two versions one with markings and one without.

M1,M2,M113,M901 and M113 Medevac all tweaked so woodland paint schemes are consistent. I've included the Med 113 with both round cross and square version.

I have included a clean windshield for the M1025 the TGA file is titled (window-woods). If you perfer a dirty windscreen do not install the TGA file. Both this file and the DDS file for the Miclic will need to be placed in the main directory under textures/woodland. The DDS file titled (hmmwv) needs to be placed in the main directory. The BMP files can be placed in your mods folder. The file titled humveearm provides the detailed M2 HMG and the M240. The M2 HMG is used on the M1025 as well as the M1A1 and M113. The M240 is used on the M1A1.

I have included the humveearm file which will give you the detailed M 240 door gun, Place both BMP files in your mod folder. The griffonproptrans needs to be placed in your main folder under textures/woodland. I hope you have as much fun using this skin as I had producing it.

FYO Intake shadowing has been repaired on this skin.

I have included the humveearm file which will give you the detailed M 240 door gun, Place both BMP files in your mod folder. The griffonproptrans needs to be placed in your main folder under textures/woodland. The griffonproptrans file in this folder is different than my previous versions in that it adds the red and white blazes to the tailrotor. It also eliminates the blazes from the main rotor. I hope you have as much fun using this skin as I had producing it.

Here is my original M1A1 with a total rework of the details plus a little dirt and mud to keep that crowd happy. I have detailed the armament and hull with such things as the various keeper chains and hinges. I have also included the updated turret roof file plus the humveearm file with slight modifications to the lightness and saturation on the M2 plus some added details on old ma deuce.Hardened up some of the edges and did some minor shadowing on the entire vehicle. Place all files in your mods folder under textures/woodland and lets all get out and play in the mud.

For those that have the horsepower to run it here is my dirty Abrams plus roof texture in 2048 x 2048. I wanted the items that I placed in the bustle to have a little more definition, the same for the turret roof details especially the loaders hatch. If you can run it let me know what you think on our thread in the forums.

This skin is dedicated to all Abrams crews. This is the final edition of my 2048 x 2048 skin for the M1A1 Abrams. The details that I have added are more than I care to mention. Basically, I reworked the entire vehicle from stem to stern. As usual place all files in your mods folder and don't forget to backup your originals. Thanks to Wicked,Fab and Zip for words of encouragement.Credit shoud be given to Maj.Fubar for the germUSamtex file as well as the originators of the humveearm and T156 track file. All of these files were slightly modified by Congo.Enjoy Creighton,s beasts. Any questions or comments should be PM'd to Congo at steelbeasts.Com
