Tac197 Posted June 24, 2013 Share Posted June 24, 2013 Ok, there is all this discussion about how cool the new stuff is going to be and what else is going to be added is making me impatient. My questions are: (and forgive me if they have already been answered, I can't find them on the forum) 1. Is there an update to the release date from the 4 July? 2. The Esim games website has no mention of the upcoming release, how to order or if pre orders will be available. Is this going to be updated soon? 3. Has there been a discussion on price point, and what will it be? (USD is fine) Cheers. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do not remember anything about preorders from the precedent updates 3- Price has not been discussed yet afaik. I think we should expect about twice the price the usual update? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gibsonm Posted June 24, 2013 Share Posted June 24, 2013 1. Is there an update to the release date from the 4 July?2. The Esim games website has no mention of the upcoming release, how to order or if pre orders will be available. Is this going to be updated soon? 3. Has there been a discussion on price point, and what will it be? (USD is fine) Cheers. 1. Nope. 2. Pre orders are unlikely (Ssnake answered that pretty much on day one). 3. Lots of discussion - no detail. Congrats on the "promotion" BTW. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Ssnake Posted June 24, 2013 Author Members Share Posted June 24, 2013 Ssnake, I see that you've placed M109 and 2S1 under "playable" system. Could you elaborate on playable functions ?No. I just placed them under the wrong category, and fixed it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Ssnake Posted June 24, 2013 Author Members Share Posted June 24, 2013 How many new, playable vehicles are left what we did not see yet?Per my list it's technically six, although some might count it as three (the line is a bit blurry, as demonstrated with the new Technicals). Also, I originally included in my unit count two that actually were playable in SB Pro PE 2.654 already, so the originally listed number needs to be reduced anyway. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm still on the 2.552 version. :-) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EMiner Posted June 26, 2013 Share Posted June 26, 2013 How to say this?... Most of my career was spent writing, publishing and/or delivering in-person very technical information in the field of huge database technology (what they call "Big Data" these days.....like those massive sets of data the NSA has been gathering). Anyway my question is along these lines: "Is the manual going to be updated in version 3.0?" Does 'updated' mean better quality? Sorry eSims but the manual is really a mess and mostly general in nature. Don't shoot the messenger....I love SB and all the folks who build it but I'll bet that the Technical Writing staff is rather small.... OK, fire away Eric 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gibsonm Posted June 26, 2013 Share Posted June 26, 2013 Well AFAIK, the printed manual will be “updated” (don’t know about re written) to include 3.0 but wont be available until sometime after August.I guess a good rule would be to look at what comes on the download / disc and extrapolate from there. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So anyone write something on tactical, formation, mission making tips, vehicle tricks, planning examples, maps, opfor training missions, i send a big thank you and some virtual beer. :-) For me its not necessary to Ssnake update the complete manual. I'm happy with some user made docs. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OK, fire away Eric Hi EMiner I don't think I am breaking any NDA by disclosing that Ssnake has asked me to update/rewrite the manual for v3.0. I have plied my trade as a Technical Writer and journalist for the past 22 years, but the complexity and depth of this software makes it quite a challenge. Maybe we could cooperate on this? Certainly, I'd be pleased to learn more of your ideas. Best to contact me by email. Look forward to hearing from you. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rump Posted June 27, 2013 Share Posted June 27, 2013 Ah, you're quoting from the picture gallery. Got me confused, there...I say, a BIG round of applause for Esim. This is going to be the best update since SB 2. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators Volcano Posted June 27, 2013 Moderators Share Posted June 27, 2013 Am I too understand all playable vehicles have now been shown? The list in this thread is now complete? Yep, that is pretty much what that means. It means that the stuff that people wanted that wasn't shown is going to be a sore spot and topic of outrcy now (for which we have the wish list thread for that). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least half the size of that thread was neutralized with the introduction of a cast turret something or other. :debile2: 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marko Posted June 27, 2013 Share Posted June 27, 2013 (edited) *clap*clap*clap*Giggidy.+1A truly amazing update.Its true not every body got what they wanted.I would have loved a playable BMP-1/2But in fairness i don't think anybody can say it wont be value for money when released.And lets be honest if they made everything playable what would be in 4.0 or 5.0.LoLAnd i will resist the urge to start a new wish list for 3.5 LoL Edited June 27, 2013 by Marko 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
