SB2 is not due soon. Steel Beasts: Professional Personal Edtion (SBPPE) is the latest release from eSim games (That's what "this" is.).

It provides the new graphical engine which will be used in SB2, but it is designed for military training on an individual basis. Steel Beasts 2 will be the next true sequel to SB. It will be oriented towards gamers and sim fans in general.

That sounds like a pretty good guess to me actually. If not 2008, then late 2007.

Is there a Demo for SB pro? I'd like to see it before I shell out $125.00

There is an independent review forthcoming at simhq.com. If you're on the fence, waiting for that review might be a good idea.

Other than waiting for reviews, I'd say that the best gauge of whether SB Pro PE is worth the money for you, would be how you feel about SB1, if you can find a copy on ebay or where-ever.

eSim games does offer a demonstration version (A full version with an expiration date) if you are a prospective military customer who is interested in using Pro PE to train with in your unit.

If you are just a gamer who wants to check it out, then your pretty much out of luck as far as a demo is concerned.

SB2 will probably have a demo. (At least I would imagine.)

Yes, but remember, it took 6 years to go from SB to ProPE. So another 1.5-2 years for SB2 doesn't sound very unrealistic.

No, but chk out all the screen shots in post ~ all right you SB pro pe meatheads.. listen up ~ thread

Just use your imagination of them moving with GREAT SOUNDS, along with comments of so many that say it's all Awesome!!

Take it from me, I'm IMPRESSED as it gets.. with PRO and its 3D engine.

It really REALLY shows the difference between 1999, and 2006 as far as what your eyes saw in SB1 and now PRO PE.. it's incrediable..

Even the M1 sights, with my unliked wingman 3D pro wireless are sweet, and stable, when you lase, from what I dealt with in SB1 using the same joystick.

Hard to believe is best I can come up with for the whole package

Don't get me wrong here, there are some problems, both with my new PC and sim, along with my wingman joystick and getting the profiler to work.

But that's because I'm not a PC specialist, I think.. lol

There is an independent review forthcoming at simhq.com.
Another one will be released at TankSim.com - probably this weekend - and there is another one at "Die, Sim Fanboi".com (http://www.diesimfanboi.com/software/bard/sbprope.htm).

If there will be a demo version, it's going to take a while before it'll be released.
