Yeah, seems they used some footage from Call of Duty to depict the U.S. under attack. Vid is still up at Live Leak, though.

Lol :biggrin:

I can answer "a": After spending some time on LiveLeak, this question invariably comes up. The answer is that Russian insurance companies require that everyone have a dashcam to record incidents/scam attempts.

As for "b"...who knows?

AFAIK, setting platoon formations before mission start doesn't work in multi-player sessions for some reason. Every time I've tried it, the platoon has reverted to wedge formation as you have described. You'll just have to keep that in mind when placing your units next time.

Regarding the wall issue, happens to me a lot in cities. Sometimes you get lucky and after several tries throwing it in forward and reverse you'll be able to shake it loose. Sometimes it helps to leave the vehicle and try later. I know the eSim team has been working on pathfinding in general. Maybe this issue will be addressed in the next release.

Yeah, vehicle skins can be saved as the first option:

DXT1 RGB 4bpp no alpha

Decals and anything else with an alpha layer can be saved as the third option:

DXT3 ARGB 8bpp explicit alpha.

Here's the original cover for the first retail release.

From my original copy:

"...the best tank sim ever."

"...the [...] king of modern armoured warfare simulations."

Yeah, interesting to see what's going on. Thanks.

Ya, I don't think jpegs work for vehicles. I went ahead and converted ebz7350's skin to dds and sent him some screenies. It looks good. Maybe he'll post them later.

I don't think it's gonna go through see 'cause this is how my bank accounts are set up. I have a checking and a savings and all my money's in my savings and I have to transfer and...I don't think it's gonna go through. :biggrin:

THANK YOU!! :remybussi: I was sooo hoping someone would do this for my lazy a$$.

Hello and welcome!

Wow, lots of new members around here lately. This is great. The community is growing, eSim is doing well. The future looks bright for my virtual tanking! :biggrin:

Anfiach,

You might also be interested to know that there is a "difficulty" setting. This thread has some info and links to even more.

I think alt+F12 will show you the frame rate.

Steel Beasts: "Hey, is that a t..."

or

Steel Beasts: "Where the hell did that come from?!"

Anfiach, how 'bout this?: I'll reserve my extra license for you for the two week period just after the release of the new version. That way you're guaranteed to be able to check it out.

Until then, you can feel free to try the 'official' demo through the homepage at your leisure.

Yeah, looks sharp!

Top of this page. Only the 7-part installer, no updates, no patches.

I had thought about seeking a guest license, but I'm reluctant to do so.

Why? It's not too difficult and there are several people here (myself included) who would be happy to oblige as soon as one becomes available. It couldn't hurt to check it out and I can't think of a better way to answer your questions about the sim.

Just let me know or contact Sean or Gibsonm through the links on the homepage.

As for negativity, you're right. It's comparatively rare around here, but like any place it does happen from time to time. But I think overall, everyone here is very civilized. Not to mention how accessible the guys at eSim make themselves. If you ever have a true problem, you can be sure it will be addressed ASAP. IMHO eSim provides top notch customer service and product support.

Anyway, welcome to the community!

I'd like to add my vote to a crewable Marder. Been playing a lot of scenarios with this vehicle lately, and being able to take control would be nice.

Yes, especially since some "work-arounds" were fixed in the last update.

Well, I did figure out that I can give a unit a route to a CP and wait for radio confirmation that they have arrived. Then I can be reasonably sure they're where I put the CP. The trick is remembering where that was.

A higher quality longer video of that T-72:

My God. War really is hell. I'm thankful that in my country, there are those who choose to fight to defend the rest of us. Don't get me wrong. If the call came, I'd answer it. In a heartbeat. But until then I'll be content to just play SB, thank you very much.

At least then I know I'm not going to be violently thrown out of my chair in a spectacular fireball while my clothes disintegrate... Well, as long as I've done my chores, anyway. :biggrin:

I've been trying some scenarios with no map updates. This is going to be...interesting.

If it isn't already on the way, I'd like shrapnel to be visible through the TIS when the round from the main gun of the AFVs hits something hard. I was just watching Zipuli's CV90 vid and I think it would add some visual reinforcement that you're hitting the target. (Which would be useful if the TC is wounded or doesn't see the target.)

Plus it would look bada$$!:biggrin:
