Me too. I removed the old SB and reinstalled the 2.53 rars. Updated the Codemeter drivers and downloaded the license I won. I didn't notice anything strange until I tried to make the thing run. The codemeter couldnt be found and when I put it back it blinked in a simliar fashon as described above in a repeative pattern. Oh well, better notify Nils.

You can try my scenario Demon Cleaner

I had forgot about this lovely review and AAR. It's quite interesting to read about how other people played my scenaros. Which routes they planned, timing and so on.

Absolutly! It looks stunning.

Do a Scouse one! I want Andy Pipkin as my gunner!

I was just about to ask if the M113A3 was getting a make over aswell. Sweet! I guess this model will also replace the horrible ambulance-version?

I belive the Centauro is one of the crewables too. As for the future I'm thinking Puma IFV. Something with a little more "omph" then the Marders.

That's right. I was thinking about the taxi-version.

Could be, could be. The markings is easy to fix with some skin modification I suppose. Actually that's a Volvo 245 (the station wagon version). I think it's a smart move to use cars who'll fit both in scenarios recreating 1988 and 2010 because they are still quite common. For most of us a civvie is a civvie is a civvie... but this might keep the "nay-sayers" calm until a bigger diversity of cars is added. I really like the diversity of this update. It adds and corrects many of the things we have asked for. So Nils, can you hint anything about changes and adds for ammunition, artillery and helicopters?

Because the Skoda Favorit had a lifespan of about 20 minutes, about what they'll have in SB? :biggrin: I'm sure there will be a nice mix of civvie vehicles added over time.

Cute car (Grand Theft Steel Beasts)! Will they be available in different skins (colors)?

Haven't thought about falling snow or rain but when the day comes that you have time to include them I'll be a happy camper. Hmmm... maybe sandstorms too. The M113A1 and T-55 and reworked Ural will make a nice addition when it comes to making bush-war scenarios.

YES!

No need to feel angry. Changing values and graphics or adding new ones is the almost the same thing for the people adding the code, making new sounds and graphics. But for the customer it is an improvement not something new. I appreciate all the hard work and I look forward to use SG PE Pro 2.5x but to avoid confusion it is better if new vehicles that got an overhaul are called "improved" and vehicles that are add are called "new" even if the majority of the workinghours was used on the improved ones.

Agreed. A graphic overhaul and minor data-changes of an already represented one is not a new vehicle. The T-55 is a welcome one when it comes to create DS-scenarios, current Afghanistan fighting and African or Asian minor wars.

So... What we know: T-55. M113A1. Challenger 2. T-72B Possible inclusions: Eagle 5 w. Lemur. MAN truck. Scania truck. CV90 FO. Civilian car. Civilian bus. Civilian truck.

I'm almost certain two of the vehicles are a MAN and Scania truck.

Ohhh, that would be sweet. I doubt it will happen any time soon but it's a great idea.

A question about the Challenger. Will it have the old rifled gun or the new Rheinmetall L/55? Finally some new houses. Will we see new smaller houses and villas too? Maybe with different themes like American, German, Scandinavian or Iraqi? I'd like that. Or if they were modable so maybe someone could make a region X-themed set of houses which could be decided in the mapeditor? I think the right types for different parts of the world would give the feeling of being there.

If there was to be a OPFOR tank with crewstations I'd prefer it to be one of the modern versions of the T-80 or the T-90 where the player has a lesser disadvantage against the Abrams or Leo2. A crewable T-72 could be cool in old Cold-War-Turns-Hot scenarios or a mission or campaign in Africa, parts of Europe or Asia where they still are the MBT of choice (the same goes for the older M113 in this update). Desirable? Yes. Mostly a novelty? True that.

Thank you very much! I belive the "mount" command will come in handy. The new Ural looks great. And now I'm hoping the NVG for drivers is true. And also some MAN and Scania-trucks for us Germans and Swedes, and suspension, Apaches, A-10's, crewable T-80's and spacestations... I really want those!

I like the idea. Though the sim isn't intended for this and it would be pretty far down on the priority list I think it would be cool!

This thread has gone from a hated one to the one where people post wishes. I'm proud I started it. Looking forward to new terrain with more details and a modable database of houses and buildings! But take your time.
