Yes, sadly a lot of personal/small team sims don't make it. Altho if memory serves me right, Steel Beasts started as a small team sim. Ya never know. ;D

I found this yesterday: http://sites.google.com/site/samsimulator1972/home I made an AAR for it on SimHQ: http://simhq.com/forum/ubbthreads.php/topics/2919649/S_75M3_Volhov_qualification_da.html#Post2919649 Currently only the SA-2E "Guideline" and SA-3B "Goa" are playable, but the developer is working on an SA-4. Finally, something to satisfy my excessive number of buttons on one screen fetish!

Open Falcon is nothing but trash. I forget how many things don't work in it, but the one I remember is you can't use HARMs. If you want a good mod for F4 google SP4.

You simply extract them and run the .exe.

Yes, but making it completely free would draw more people. For example, had SB1 been freeware, I would've had it years ago. For another example, I'm currently struggling with paypal to accept my debit card so I can pay for SB1. Well, I just threw open source in, I didn't figure it was very likely, as I was pretty sure SB PRO PE used a lot of SB1's code.

Thanks for the replies, and links. Would it not be possible to still sell it, but not offer patches, etc.? Would it be possible to make it freeware, or possibly even open source, since you no longer sell or support it? The way I see it, if eSim made SB1 freeware, a lot of people would try it, as they'd have nothing to lose, and the ones who liked it would probably buy the PRO PE. Ah, if we ever play perhaps I could teach you something. It seems I'm a master tactician, no matter what I do, I always have the perfect tactics to get myself killed. :biggrin: But seriously, once I get to know the sim, I'd like to try some CO-OP.

Hello, I have a few questions about SB1. First off, why is it no longer sold? I'd have much preferred to buy it from Esim, and thereby support them, than buy it from someone on Ebay. Doesn't Esim realize there are still benefits to selling it? For example, I've been interested in armor for quite awhile, and have finally decided to get an armor sim. SB PRO PE is too expensive for me right now, but a twenty or thirty dollar sim isn't. Secondly, Does anyone still play SB1? I've always been a single-player kinda guy, but over the past year or two, I've found I like co-op play a lot. And I doubt Steel Beast's single player is a third as good as the multi-player. Also, I'm sure I can, but it never hurts to ask, can I play with people using the gold version? Thirdly, can the standard version be fully patched? I noticed one advantage of the gold version is it's patched, does this mean further upgrades were made, and are only available to the gold version, or does this simply mean the gold version is installed with all patches?
