    Hey @thewood I feel compelled to jump in here. What I believe Ssnake is saying is this update is free so why would he make commitments regarding scope and timing that he may not be able to keep, and will only get criticised by some members of the community for if he misses? Also, Grenny is only creating content to showcase forthcoming features for the benefit of the community, perhaps as a “semi-official” activity. I think it’s great the upcoming update is getting people excited for the new content, but from eSim’s point of view it’s gratis to existing users so we need to cut them some slack. How many times has eSim not delivered an update when they’ve committed to do so? I’d hate to see this thread and Grenny’s content derailed because of “misunderstood” recent posts. My $0.02 anyway.

    A welcome bug fix. Thanks.

    Thanks Mark, appreciate the heads-up. I'm due to update this scenario to 4.167 standard soon (when I get to it, I've been diverted from Steel Beasts recently) so will remove the problematic character from the file name then. Cheers

    The British camouflage for Sho’t Kal, of black and green bands, may make a usable proxy for Danish camouflage until something more accurate is available.

    Since you put it like that 😂

    Appreciate it and it's still on the cards. I've just got four 4.16x scenario updates and maybe one new (training) scenario to publish and then decks will be clear. The last update took a lot longer than planned!
  7. Panzer_Leader
    That’s great to hear! Glad it’s going strong.

    In light of the change of all Danish AFV crewmen in this scenario to 'US' to reflect CVC helmets worn by Danish AFV crew, I strongly recommend downloading and installing this skin from @Splash for increased immersion:

    It took a bit longer than a fortnight due to some substantial re-scripting to improve logic and achieve intended scenario outcomes but 'Armoured Infantry Company Attack at Rydsgard 1991 v2.0 (4.167)' is now available for download: Key changes from v1.6 include: - Scenario start time changed to 0400 to account for time and lighting system adjustments with 4.1x. - Look of all Danish AFV crew changed to 'US' to reflect CVC helmets worn by Danish AFV crews. - Substantial rebuild of Red counter-penetration and combat reconnaissance patrol (CRP) scripting and Blue scoring with clearer logic and improved modularity for ease of future updates. Enjoy!

    Thanks @Iarmor. Have you come across the Desert Eagle publications on Israeli vehicles? If so, how do they compare to SabinaMartin for detail and quality? Desert Eagle’s title on ‘Zelda M113 in IDF Service - Part 3 APC & TOGA’ is next on my list to buy with ‘Magach 3 - IDF Patton M48 - M48A3 in IDF Service Part 1‘ and ‘Magach 6A/B - IDF Patton M60A1 - M60A1 in IDF Service Part 3‘ potentially further down the track. I notice SabingaMartin also offers ‘Magach Tanks of the IDF, Volume 3, Magach 3 Tanks After the Six-Day War’ so, when it comes to Magach 3, I’d be keen to understand which is the better resource? As you can probably tell, my interest in Israeli armour currently centres on the more modern vehicles of the Yom Kippur War, hence Shot Kal, Magach 3 / 6 and Zelda focus.

    Maintaining the Israeli armour theme of the last two posts, I just finished this exceptional single volume on the Shot Kal upgrade: https://www.amazon.com/Centurion-Tanks-Shot-Alef-VOL-3/dp/098414370X/ref=cm_cr_srp_d_product_top?ie=UTF8. The title is now hard to find so I had to create a 'Want' at AbeBooks.com and wait for a copy to become available that way, which I immediately purchased. The single review at Amazon.com is mine, with a direct link here if you'd like to see what I thought: https://www.amazon.com/Centurion-Tanks-Shot-Alef-VOL-3/dp/098414370X/ref=cm_cr_srp_d_product_top?ie=UTF8#customerReviews. Bottom line, try to get a copy if you're a fan of the Shot Kal (Alef) represented in Steel Beasts, my current tank du jour.

    Glad I could help! 😂

    Does this make Steel Beasts a mug’s game? Either way, it’s better with two. The Sho’t Kal joins my stable. Now for my coffee!

    Thanks @MAJ_Fubar, appreciate your effort with the Wiki and glad I wasn't seeing things. I'll use full stop "." in future.
  16. Panzer_Leader
    Okay, that’ll do it; user error then. I must be getting old and my eyesight failing, I genuinely thought that was a comma key in the Wiki. Thanks for checking and confirming 😂
  17. Panzer_Leader
    Yes, with mils in rectangular border, not “GPSE”?
  18. Panzer_Leader
    In the Sho't Kal section of the SBWiki under "Tank Commander's Position F7" it mentions: "When operating the commander's observation sight, the , key activates the cupola lock, which will automatically lock the cupola in the direction of the gun after the commander moves the cupola/sight in the direction of the gun. Once locked, it can be unlocked by pressing , again." When I access the commander's observation sight I can press and hold or press and release the comma "," key and the cupola does not "automatically lock the cupola in the direction of the gun after the commander moves the cupola/sight in the direction of the gun." Does anyone else experience this or do I have a unique set-up that may influence the result (I shouldn't, I'm using the mouse to slew the cupola / sight and comma "," key on the keyboard). Curious if it's something I'm doing, an error in the SBWiki or a bug? Cheers

    Thanks @hoggydog, appreciate the feedback. I'm not sure I've got the patience for that right now either (plus cost / benefit outcome for Steel Beasts seems low, the only application I'd use it for) so might shelve my button box aspirations for the time being, maybe to revisit at some point in the future. Cheers

    Returned to sender!

    @hoggydog how did the button box go? I've been looking at similar, commercially-available button boxes but I'd be keen to hear your experience, and whether it adds value to the Steel Beasts or not, before pressing the button, so to speak. This is the one I'm thinking about: (https://www.ricmotech.com/RealGear_RACEpro_H22_Button_Box_p/rgr-rpbp-h22.htm)

    I was thinking about optical rangefinders in the context of Steel Beasts and the Leopard 1A3 and M60A1 (not modelled) and what the sight picture would look like as range was determined. I found two excellent short videos on YouTube explaining stereoscopic and coincidence rangefinders (in a naval context) and a practical demonstration of a crude coincidence rangefinder in action: I’ve included them here in case anyone else has been similarly interested and never seen an optical rangefinder in action.

    Good use of concealment didn't save this T-55A: Showering with shrapnel can be harmful to your health:

    Centurion Mk 11 [Sho't Kal] of the Royal Canadian Dragoons destroys the first T-55A of a combat reconnaissance patrol (CRP): The gunner admires his handiwork through his sight as the full CRP burns in front of his position:

    Thanks Team eSim, installed. It looks like a lot of bugs were killed to produce this patch.
