Sure but it assumes I’m going to buy this piece of junk in order to play and I’m afraid I have neither the time or cash to waste on it before it goes in the digital dustbin.

If its run in Steel Beasts Pro PE, fine. If not, see you later (but good luck with it anyway). Also if the later, I suspect a moderator might be along soon to ask you to “move along”.

So near and yet so far. Has been a good trip to date. SB Pro User Group update meeting tomorrow.

Ah well I have Plan B too (a nice big bottle of Bundaberg Rum, just need some cold coke - or ice, to go with it).

Fixed Sim Card had to get a complete new ‘phone (59 e but better than paying for Global Roaming). In location in Cologne (but no fridge in the room to cool the beers! ).

Yes an outrageous oversight but no doubt to do with EU OH&S regulations.

Normally the campaign designer issues the map and scenario as a bundle (so everyone has the same information) or they tell you you need "Map X" for this.

I’m not CV90 qualified so I’m not certain but I suspect his question is more why the interior switches hit the current grenades. I would have thought left activates left bank, centre, centre and right, right rather than what he says happens, namely:

Part of the issue no doubt is that most tactics are a set of principles which provide guidance. They help you determine your plan but are not proscriptive in application. They are the “science” part if you like, you still need to add the “art” to apply them to a specific situation. Many people expect to see “magic bullet“ stuff that they can always apply in exactly the same way (regardless of the ground, enemy, time of day, weather, etc.) and always achieve victory. Short of “attacking” a position with a 15 Mt fission device, this wont happen.

Well some of us have meetings to go to before it starts. Oh yes and I’d like to get some rest after the 25hrs+ flight. One other thing. Seems all of Germany is closed on Sundays (Soviets should have used that). Got a Sim card yesterday midday (seems Germany is half open on Saturdays) when the Tourist place opened and now can’t get it activated until Monday.

OK on the ground in Cologne. Thanks by the way for going the extra km and arranging the Left Vs Right demo right outside the train station! Unsure if the was some sort of Neo Nazi vs Far Left thing on the anniversary of Germany’s surrender or not?

Yes it will be nice to be back on Leopard again.

Well as I’ll be in civvies I doubt he’d be interested (assuming his English is better than my German). Now if I was in uniform and borrowed a vehicle I’m sure he’d love to talk to me.

Because I figured the guys who took my 200 Euro (or at least the Commonwealth’s) would be able to. I didn’t think I should hassle somebody who doesn’t even work for the train company.

Well I’ve already had a bunch of email traffic just sorting out the bl**dy train trip from Frankfurt to Cologne (the train company kept telling me to choose a station that wasn’t on their web sites pull down list - end result the web site has “Frankfurt(M) Flughafen Fernb“ but apparently “everyone“ [except their own web site] calls it the “Fernbahnhof“) so I’m sure beer terminology will be another PITA.

Ah but that’s covered by my ticket price. Maybe I can smuggle some beers out for you?

Well managed to secure enough space in the luggage for some duty free Bundaberg Rum so for those I do catch up with - it wont be all German beer.

Capture it in "Fraps" while playing (drag the control window off the screen), then convert / compress via Movie Maker or QT Pro?

Oh ? I'll take your word for it though (don't have many engagements where both sides have the same vehicles - so it doesn't come up).

I'm sure it will be fine. May even go for the full economy of effort option and just use it (if you don't mind) happy to include a plug along the lines of "joystick mapping by Tacbat".

AFAIK, Red only uses “red” and Blue only uses “blue”. So if the "red" mod folder is empty, Red will use the standard graphics, not go looking in the "blue" mod folder for ones that match.

I think you’ll find it a set of mine rollers (Yes, this has been seen before). Off hand I can’t recall the fix, if any. This thread covers it (or at least hopefully the close up picture in the first attachment looks similar?): http://www.steelbeasts.com/sbforums/showthread.php?p=193142&highlight=Hind#post193142

Blew some of my new pay rise on one of these Saitek X52 Pro's and I must say the joystick component is now a pleasure to use (the old logitech used to "wander" if unattended). Any chance you could post your button mapping here (I'd like to use all the buttons on both devices [the throttle controller looks good for steering, etc.] and it would be great to have a start point to build from)?

Well I do have room (but until I know if its a suite or a broom closet I can’t volunteer). However if the river rises (or it starts to snow or something) you now have a fall back accommodation plan.

It does indeed. Thanks. So you’ve dropped the trailing letter but added a unique prefix (at least on the radio)? So I presume the vehicle marking remains constant 30 in Triangle = Tpr Ldr, 3 TP, A Sqn but the radio call sign changes (otherwise the boys would never stop painting)?
