This is a list of all the vehicles available in ver 4.379.
 
I've put this up to help people to keep track and reduce the number of times I copy and paste this into threads.
 

Full version of the SB Pro PE 4.379 Release Notes.
SBProPE_4-379_Release_Notes.pdf

This Tutorial guides people through the use of the following Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS) aka "drones" recently added to Steel Beasts Pro PE.
 
It is a "safe to fail" environment here you can make mistakes and not be punished.
 
Quadcopter Notes: Trigger 1
 
Munin Notes: Trigger 2
 
Libelle Notes: Trigger 3
 
Switchblade Notes: Trigger 4
 
Bullitt Notes: Trigger 5
Currently not operational - for information only: In 4.379 there appears to be an issue where the Bullitt will not engage overflying UAS. As it is autonomous you can not engage targets manually either.
 
Sprite Box: Trigger 6
 
Sprite Container: Trigger 7
 
I've also updated the Wiki entry:

Please note there are currently some limitations on the Sprite platform as detailed here:
 
 
When the issues with the Bullitt and Sprites are addressed, I'll post an update to this Guide.
 
 

This short mission designed to let you conduct a static gunnery practice using Triggers to select one vehicle from 51 available platforms and alternatively increase the difficulty (TI and or GPS damaged).

The map used should be downloadable but if required here is the relevant information:
 

 
 
Some have reported issues with getting the map package. Here is a link to the package: https://u.pcloud.link/publink/show?code=kZcdhdXZ8ureNQ8votLGJmg6i9MQVhfNc1wV

A common issue seems to be the inability to get the AI to happily cross a bridge.

Often this is a case of:
1. Asking it to cross the wrong bridge type. Asking the AI to cross a wooden bridge that can take 10t with a 60t MBT is going to be problematic. Even if the AI does cross the bridge will collapse under the weight.
2. Not changing the route to reflect the need to cross a bridge - so just assuming that the AI will "sort it out".a common issue seems to be the inability to get the AI to happily cross a bridge.
3. Not changing the route type / formation to reflect the need to cross a bridge - or doing it too close to the bridge, so asking a unit in "line" to change to "column" whilst very close to the bridge and not allowing enough room for the AI to rearrange the vehicles into the right sequence for column formation. Refer the Note about "Call signs make a difference".
 
Anyway I hope  this helps.

This is an update to an earlier file I created some 11 years ago (a lot has changed in that time).
 
Steel Beasts' logic criteria (Conditions, Events, embark if ...) have several rules available to them.

If you look at the screenshot below there are blue circles around the word "Forces". This can be cycled through "Forces", "Truck", "Helo", "AFV", "PC", "Tank" and "Personnel".
 

 
For example you can create an event, "If friendly tanks are greater than 6" generate message "We Won!" and apply this to a region on the map called "Objective".

The problem is there was no public list to tell me what Steel Beasts considered to be what.

Based on my professional judgement / experience, to achieve the above I would have assumed the need to put "Tanks" (M1, T-72, Leo, Challenger ...) on the objective.

Now I know that Steel Beasts considers:
2S1, Centauro, M88A1, M-109, Wisent and other vehicles as "Tanks" for these conditions / events, etc.v
 
To use the table, look down to find the unit you want to check on (I've used the built in Steel Beasts unit categories), then look across and if a box says "Yes" then that is the condition it will satisfy.
 
A Jaguar will satisfy the "Forces", "AFV" and "PC" conditions but not "Truck", "Helo" or "Tank".

An Ambulance (any type) wont satisfy any of the conditions.
 
If your force (or other party) has a 1.2t Truck-T and it just drives around it wont satisfy any "unit type". If however it stops and the passengers dismount, then you will satisfy the conditions for both "Forces" and "Personnel". No passengers, and the vehicle is a phantom.
 
A motorcycle will trigger "Forces" and "Truck" but if the passenger gets off the back, they will satisfy "Personnel".

Accordingly, if you want to script an event based on a load of civilians / soldiers loaded into a civilian vehicle (all the ones labelled orange in the spreadsheet that are capable of carrying passengers), then you need to stop in the region and dismount for a few seconds to satisfy the criteria.

This expands on Toyguy's original Javelin tutorial but adds the following systems:
 
M47 Dragon
TOW 2A (Direct attack)
TOW 2B (Top attack)
Javelin
RBS 56 BILL
RBS 70
Spike LR
MILAN
AT-3 Sagger
AT-4 Spigot
 
 

Not as detailed as a FM series but might give an UNCLAS overview of how we, in Australia, do things.
