It's been a minute. Good to see an update in the near future

I've used it a lot for different games in the past, but broke my most-used button (bottom thumb) and gave up on it. I found that there's a 3D model out to fix the issue, so it's now out of retirement. Absolutely love the thing, but setting it up and creating muscle memory for the key assignments is a nightmare. Hopefully someone out there already has a SB profile to make things a little easier.

I decided to clean my old G13 up and try it out with SB. Is anyone using a G13 that would like to share the SB profile that they use?

What I found interesting was the top end was actually crisp, which absolutely surprised me with a 15" speaker. A had to spend the better part of an hour farting around with the EQ, PC output, and gain though. Mid-range was dull and lifeless. But yeah, you're right, it's not designed for this range at all. I suspect the crispness dies quickly with volume. 1000w? earplugs and muffs together aren't going to help you. You're vibrating your soul at that point. And yes, a wah and distortion sounds like crap, as does adding chorus.

I wanted to see what would happen if I hooked my PC up to my 100 watt bass guitar amp. The next logical thing to do was play SB. What I've learned: 1. Hard drives and monitors create a ton of interference 2. The low range sounds great, the top end is flat (as is expected) 3. It's monoaural (change window settings to mono and pan left or you'll just get left channel and a potentially fried audio chip) 4. Leopard 2E sounds freaking awesome, as do most other vehicles and weapons 5. M1A2 is a notable exception. The engine whine is just too much I couldn't get the master volume up to 3 without risk of angering the wife or the neighbors -- it was that loud. The sound quality kinda sucked, as bass guitar amps just aren't designed for this kind of range, but it was fun. When I get some time alone, and the neighbors are gone, I'll go higher, but ear plugs will be needed. I wonder what SB sounds like with a wah pedal and distortion. hmm...

I'd rather have it as a clickable option. I like the panic aspect of smashing the buttons repeatedly, but sometimes it's just unnecessary.

Thanks for knocking this out, guys! How off is the old printed manual (4.1 era) going to be?

You saved my sanity. Much appreciated!

That's pretty much how I got it working. The downside is now there's a million different waypoints to test if the event is true. It works, but it's getting hard to distinguish who is doing what. Now I have to figure out why they're not running anymore. 🤷‍♂️

Thanks for the help. I think I got it. It's just really ugly 😄

I have a few set as "embark if", but others I want to have walking down roads before the event is triggered. Those are the ones that I'm having issue with. I've tried placing them on a route, and creating another route with "embark if", but they ignore the second route altogether

I'm creating a village of civilian/rebel mix and am looking to make the civilians run for cover once action starts. Is there a way to pull someone off a route once an event is triggered to have them head toward a different waypoint?

Merry Christmas, everyone!

Yes, thank you. It really is above and beyond. Merry Christmas!

That's what I'm talking about. I wouldn't expect eSim to do that -- that's what the videos help with (community-made).
