Hi All, Thank you to everyone for your help and interest. I downloaded Version 3. It took me a few tries but I now have Version 3 running. It was a bit of work but I like solving software "mysteries".........sometimes. John

I am retired and Family will be visiting for Christmas. However, being retired, I am pretty much free but for Christmas Eve and Day. 22 DEC - 06 JAN is fine for me. I am in Toronto Canada so that is 5 hrs behind GMT. However I often stay up late so I may be able to attend as I imagine you will try to arrange timing to include the maximum amount of people. Thank you for trying to organize this.

Thank you. That really worked well. It says I have version 3.00. I took a screenshot that I will attach to the email I send to Snake.

Thank you Gibsonm and Rotareneg for your helpful replies.

Thank you for your reply. I have watched some video of scenarios on youtube and they looked good and had the right feel. I will look at some of the AAR's.

Hi, I bought the Steel Beasts Professional PE software quite a while ago. The manual says it requires Windows XP or 2000. The date on the CD is 2007. There is another number on the CD as well 01-0128-20500. I cannot see anywhere in the manual or on the CD what version it is. I have the my original CD and my original Codemeter. When I start installation there is no choice of installation path. The default is C: and my C: drive is only for my operating system. I never had the time to give the Game the attention needed to learn how it works properly. So I uninstalled it. Now I am retired and I have time. Here are my questions that I am hoping to be helped with. 1. Is there a way to choose the installation path for my current game version? 2. I enjoy using Infantry. As I recall in my early version the infantry model was not very comprehensive. If I upgrade I presume the latest version 4 has the best Infantry model. Is that right? 3. Can I use my current codemeter? 4. Perhaps someone can suggest the best way for me to go about upgrading, and if I should upgrade to version 3 or 4? Thanks for taking the time to read my post. John

Thank you. I shall have to try that.

Thank you for your reply.

Thanks for your reply. I mean when you use the mouse to scroll around the terrain in the gunners position and for targeting before you lase.

Does anyone know of a way to adjust the mouse scrolling speed?

More optional views and optional floating coins to enable playing steel beasts as a wargame. Being able to open the map in a window while remaining in the 3d view. If the above were implemented then Steel Beasts could be, in addition to a detailed simulation, a great wargame. I believe lots of wargamers would like to have it.

Thank you once more Mark.

I have been looking, but I can't find answers to the following; The manual explains, under the specialist tutorial, how various "leg" units work. However it is not made clear how they move. Am I correct to think they move in the same way as vehicles? It is explained how helicopters transport troops but does not tell you how to load them. I am not talking about moving company's or platoons but an odd unit here and there. How is that done? Any help is much appreciated.

Thanks Dave.

Thanks for your reply.

Hi All, I am running Win 7 64 bit with 3.10 GHz and 8G Ram. It is a quad core with a Nvidia GT 620 video card. The game runs well with a little stutter now and again. Any tips for improved graphics and better response? regards, John

I just finished my install and I am up and running with 3.002. I am already having fun on the shooting range and looking forward to trying some small scenarios. Just as information I installed the 5.10a CodeMeter Runtime version at the beginning of the process. When I started the game the first time it said I had to upgrade the firmware. Ssnake had given instuctions and a link for this but my Codemeter Control Center was empty. So, as my first trouble shooting step, I thought I would uninstall my current codemeter 5.10a install and re-install it. Voila, the Codemeter Control Center was populated, the firmware updated, and all is well. I mention the above in case others may be having the same problem. Thanks to Both Snake and Mark for their help!!

Thank you both for your help.

Hi Mark, Hi Ssnake I wrote the following while you were both responding to me. Thank you both! I have have installed SB PRO PE properly and all is working including the Codemeter. It seems the 2007 version did install the Codemeter properly without any special downloads. I am at version 2.328. As you mentioned the disc had the DX version ( 9 ) included that I needed. One of the things I found odd was where I found the exec file to launch the game. It was in a folder called release version. Usually with games you see the exec file in the game folder. I think that I might have installed the game properly before but just couldn't find the exec file. Thanks for your help!! What do suggest as being the next step? I would like to buy version 3.00 regards, John

Thank you very much Mark for your response. I am wondering at what point of the installation do I install the dongle?

I bought Steel Beasts in 2007 but have never had the time to properly learn the system. The disc came with a dongle which i have. I have decided to re-install and since have moved to WIN 7 64 bit. I have checked this site and used google but cannot seem to find a step by step on the best way to do this. I wonder if someone would kindly help me.

I must be missing something. I already have the full game. So if I wait for the next update it will cost me only $30 to be current. How would I benefit from the offer you have linked too? Is there something I don't know. Any info is appreciated and so are the efforts to point me in the right direction.

Thank you both for your replys. As it seems sensible, I will wait for the next upgrade.

I would like to upgrade/update. At the moment I am at version 2.328. I presume if I upgrade to 2.538 I can skip the steps in between. Am I correct?

Hi Fidel, These new textures look really good. I know how time consuming this work can be and so I can appreciate the time being spent. Regards John
