  2. I could use some assistance, I Went to update/install 4.265 from 4.167 today. while installing 4.265 I got a message stating that I was missing update KB2999226, So the installer will not complete but the update is installed. I tried a hard reboot and that didn't work. fwiw I've always had sbpro on a separate drive from the os which has never been an issue in the past. any suggestions would be greatly appreciated! sys- winblows 7 pro 64 / 1200w psu/I7 6850K six core oc'ed@4.3/ mb MSI pro carbon gaming /48g corsair vengeance ddr4 oc'ed@3600mhz/Nvida RTX- msi ventus 3080 10g v ram/ 2x samsung850 ssd 250g/ 1x samsung 860pro ssd 1tb / 1x samsung t3 removable ssd 500g/ 1x aus rog 34" 4k mon/2x asus 27"1080p
  3. DId you check the control options in SB and make sure that the joystick box is selected?

  5. @Gibsonm, Using an event and/ or condition a with region does not work for me (in essence means I'm overlooking something painfully obvious), I cannot get the AI FO to rain down hellfire and destruction on "divided" or single units. I get the same result with just checking "fire at will" as with a condition or event calling "start fire if if unit y is in region z". If the "enemy" platoon is divided into separate units the AI FO will not call for fire mission. As soon as the separate units are attached back into a platoon the AI FO calls for fire.
  6. Ty, Gibsonm, I shall give this a go this eve. Gr8 idea, don't know why this didn't register in my brain, I guess I got stuck on the notion of "well it used to work this way so"= instead of considering what is possible with the tools provided, thanks again for a very enlightening answer that will change my thought process going forward!
  7. I would ask for the ability for AI - FO to have the "ability/option" to call for fire missions on "single" units based on scenario designers intent. I know its been said that irl it would be a waste to call a fire mission on a single unit but I digress, There are situations in sim where it could be utilized, one example would be in multi player co-op mission where units have been divided for each person to control. another would be in sp where units have been divided for micro management purposes, As It is now this situation could also be used to game the sim as you know ai isnt going to be calling fire missions on you if you divide units. It wasn't that long ago that it worked this way. perhaps pre 4.0 but it wasn't an option, If I recall the change was called a fix- any how it would be a viable "option" to have on the support page for mission design.
  8. Although its not really ready for prime time yet check out - IL2 tankcrew - They have the panther and I love me some panther! they model driver/gunner/radio operator and commander positions in their afv's. Definitely "Has" potential... until you attempt to use the editor (in my case anyway). then you really appreciate what sbpro has done in that dept!

    what in the wide wide world of sports! TY Jartsev for taking the time to check that out!! I knew it was something simple, I didn't even consider that, So that's what this means....duh 🥴 no reason for that being there other then it was a few hours in to the scenario editor engagement and wasn't seeing or thinking that clearly by that time as well as my ineptitude. This sim is like a drug- I don't use sbpro all the time but when I do I'm a binge user, its always "I'll just add one more unit, just one more route, just test this one thing " poof its 2am, where did the last few hours go???????? any how thank you both again Ssnake and Jartsev for giving me a helping hand!

    TYVM for reply! I did read manual and its pretty much verbatim as you have so kindly taken the time to reiterate for me. but I'm really having prob wrapping my brain around this one for some reason. So in above .sce- I set my unit to spawn after 10sec, Have two possible routes coming directly from unit ,both routes with "jump to end condition" set to simple a random variable. Yet the unit drives to selected way point.

    Good day all, I've recently installed v1.467 , it was 4.156 I need a'lil help with "jump to end" conditioned route. I just can't get it to work. I have placed one unit with two possible routes using the "random variable x1" after unit selects or rather variable route is chosen no matter what I do the unit "drives" to end instead of jumping. I'm quite sure I'm missing something that's right in front of my eyes which is usually the case. I've attached a small one unit .sce on the smallest flat map possible for demonstration purposes. TYVM, to anyone who may assist. jump to end test.sce
  12. Wow Gr8 to know! I just tried my install and the same thing happened- So I reinstalled it and no joy. I have FB/BN/RT. There is no way I'm repurchasing all that again. There is a silver lining tho after 13 years old faithful err, I mean SBPROpe keeps on cranking along! Lets see Battlefront simulate that!
  13. This was discussed in a different thread, but I too would like to have the AI call artillery strikes against "single" units as well. I was controlling a detached co and couldn't figure out why it wasn't raining artillery @ certain points in a personal sce. Well now I know.... Could be a bit of a cheat when playing a multi player co-op sce...... https://www.steelbeasts.com/topic/11707-sb-4019-ai-artillery-ignores-single-units/?tab=comments#comment-174653 My thought is perhaps to make the AI FO call conditional, as in- call artillery if "this" unit can see > x amount of enemy units "anywhere" that way sce designers could set the threshold based on mission/training intent. So what do ya know, under "Set fire ctrl" there already exists "open fire if". So by naming the "FO" in the on map artillery units "set fire ctrl" condition as mentioned above I have produced the results I was after, calling fire missions on a single or group of single "detached " units
  14. I have found that running the mission editor sbpro uses- 9-10g of ram. when using the map editor I average 26g of ram but if I do a bit of terrain editing I have run up to 45g of ram use . So @ the end of the day you need to add a couple sticks of ram- 16g will not be adequate to utilize the map editor for terrain editing as I was having similar issues with 16g. That said if you are going to edit terrain on one map you are going to use 60+g of hd space. If sbpro main directory resides in the same folder you have used 80+g of hd. So again you could also be running yourself out of hd space if you are not vigilant in knowing how much is on said hd's as that will also crash and hang sbpro
  15. When "terrain editing" I've found that if you do not have adequate ram and/or hd space, hangs and ctd's is what happens. when terrain editing I've used 60 g of hd space just for one map which will amount to 80+g for sb alone if you have the root directory and the map package folder on the same drive. so you must allocate ample space for the map package folder. Also while using this feature sb is consuming an avg of 26-30g of ram, as opposed to the 9-10g used for mission editing. after going from 16 to 48g of ram and adding a separate 1tb of hd for the sb map package folder, terrain editing loads and saves just like the mission editor, no problem! sys spec- 1200w psu/6850k 6 core I7 oc'd to 4.1 air cooled/ msi x99 carbon pro mb 48g ddr4 corsair vengeance ram oc'd 2600mhz/samsung evo ssd x4(2x250g evo 850 -1x1tb 860proevo- 1x 500 T3 removable) nvidia 1080 FTW 8g ddr5 vr oc'd gpu 2025mhz- m 5005mhz/ 3xmon -1x34" curved asus arog 4k 100hz refresh-2x 27" asus ips
  16. Apparently inexus hasn't tried terrain editing in 4.1- Ive installed a 1tb ssd just for the sbpro "map packages" folder and went from 16g of ddr4 ram to 48g to take full advantage of this feature. That said being a wish list- -The ability in the map editor to select an "area" after choosing a map to edit. (just like mission editor) So if your not going to use lets say an entire 80 x 80km hd map area to edit - it will shorten the load and save times, perhaps save some hd space on that "temporary file" when terrain editing
  17. Showing some love for my thrustmaster warthog joystick- https://www.amazon.com/ThrustMaster-2960720-Thrustmaster-Hotas-Warthog/dp/B00371R8P4?th=1 It uses magnetic sensors and has super smooth feel when tracking enemy-as well as having switches in all the right spots for tis/zoom/smoke/lazing etc. Its got a bit of weight to it as well as its all aluminum. just a little pricey tho, well just about $4500 less then an actual m1a1 gunners handle- But hey if ya do flight sims as well?? jus say'n
  18. Rodger! Tyvm Ssnake for taking the time to answer my questions! As for #2- given the "save" options I attempted "save as existing" and sbpro hung up and I had to force it to shut down. Then I tried "save as new delta" which worked. But that event is what made me realize I was running out of drive space. So, going forward. For the clarity of my own understanding- I have amazon primed another samsung 850evo, this one with 1 tb. so when I get my "maps" folder copied on it and I'm working on a project. I then can save my work on said map by choosing "save as existing" (If I don't need a saved variant) then continue editing,rinse and repeat until I'm finished, then publish. If I wanted to save a certain variant before further editing, I would choose the "save as new delta Package" I think I got this now- new features = new methods
  19. So I did as you suggested, and it worked. Being my first foray into terrain modding, I saw that saving modified file to a "delta" it became a DHNT file that is 60 gigs, leaving me with approx 34 g on that drive. @ this point my map folder is 73g along with the main sb pro folder = 79g. All i did was flatten under one barn. Being the delta is so large it takes awhile for it to save and load even tho its on its own dedicated ssd. I do love the ability to mod the terrain as it really brings the immersion factor to a whole new level. so it looks like Ill be putting the "SB maps" folder on its own 500g ssd. 1- If I go to do some more terrain modding is it going to require another 60 worth of space to save the changes? 2- Is there anyway to mod terrain and have it "save" - overwrite the file I'm working from, Like what the mission editor has, or is there a method I'm unaware of for saving modded terrain? 3- Is it possible to move the "map" folder to another drive (change the target) without reinstalling sb pro? b-4 after
  20. If you have not done this, open the keybinding editor and look thoroughly thru entire list to see what else is sharing that binding and /change or delete it. I had an issue with a couple of bindings when I up'ed to 4.1 as well. One item for myself that I had to ask forum members for help with was the tis focus in the m1a1, as its naming in the binding editor isn't what I thought It would be .
  21. I will try that after work today, I will report on findings, ty
  22. I was trying this new feature out and it looks/ works gr8 until I save it. When reopening map the areas I "flattened" reverted back to the original state, I know the map edit did "save" as a building I changed and some barriers that I added were present. I did this on "mantruffel's ardennes st-vith" map which is older. I had the smoothing box checked /elevation 0/ and used three different border settings on the five buildings that I used this on. Is there something I am missing the save processes?
