MasterGunner309 Posted May 12, 2011 Share Posted May 12, 2011 After finishing up a tour at Ft Benning as a Pre Mike Golf instructor, I was moving back to NC and found my Steel Beasts dongle and CD. I thought I would check back on the website and to my suprise found the community to be alive and well with a ton of updates. Great to see this sim still activeNow my CD was scratched all to pieces, but i was able to load the beta and get my sim up and running. Can i upgrade to 2.460 from the beta? And eventually the 2.5 (which I see has an upgraded Bradley model)?In RL I'm currently working on the new M2 ODS SA (Situational Awareness) Bradley. Hopefully we will see that modeled in an upcoming patch. It's an awesome vehicle and would be alot of fun in game.Once I get patched up to 2.5 I would like to join an online unit and start some MP action.Great to see everyone again 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pigmachine Posted May 12, 2011 Share Posted May 12, 2011 you can download the latest here http://www.esimgames.com/Downloads.htmBut the webshop is closed atm, so you can't buy the license upgrade 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MasterGunner309 Posted May 12, 2011 Author Share Posted May 12, 2011 I downloaded the 2.483 and tried to run it, but is stated i needed the 2.460 installed first. I dont see that download. What I'm running now is the 2.370 Beta. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mogwa Posted May 12, 2011 Share Posted May 12, 2011 Instead of rewriting a lot of info that I may end up getting incorrect, I advise you to take a look at this thread: http://www.steelbeasts.com/sbforums/announcement.php?f=6 it tells you how to update to the latest version. I think it will cost you 25 bucks to upgrade to the latest version.http://www.steelbeasts.com/updates/SBProPE2_546Update.exe This is the link for the latest version. You will need to purchase a new license for the dongle, but I think it arrives by e mail so you should get it pretty quickly. As always, your mileage may vary.Be sure to download the Teamspeak 3 client and join chat.Look forward to seeing you in Multiplayer,Mog 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pigmachine Posted May 12, 2011 Share Posted May 12, 2011 Isn't "Our web shop will be closed until 25 May 2011 so that our staff can attend the ITEC exhibition." also applicable to licence upgrades? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Volcano Posted May 12, 2011 Moderators Share Posted May 12, 2011 Isn't "Our web shop will be closed until 25 May 2011 so that our staff can attend the ITEC exhibition." also applicable to licence upgrades? Yes, that appears to be the case. MasterGunner309, unfortunately it looks like you will have to wait until after the 25th. The good news is, you don't have to wait for something to be shipped to you when you do finally buy the upgrade when the store re-opens however. Unless I am mistaken, all you really need to do is download and install 2.538 (the 9 part download on the SB.com homepage -- it is a full install, not an actual upgrade per se). Then get 2.456 patch and you are done with that. The only thing needed after that would be to purchase the $25 license upgrade when the store opens and it will walk you though updating the CodeMeter stick to run the upgrade and you should be done. But to avoid having SB installed and not being able to play it until after you get the license upgrade, it might be better to just download the 9 part update and patch first but do not install it yet until you get the license upgrade. At least you will have it all downloaded in the mean time. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grenny Posted May 13, 2011 Share Posted May 13, 2011 And...if you downloaded and installed the 2.538 version...and the newest version of the CM software, I'm shure some members can help you out with a guest licence if you want to join a game befor the 25th.Just send a PM :-)(I can provide one...but only at times that are somewhat close to 1900Z :-) ) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MasterGunner309 Posted May 13, 2011 Author Share Posted May 13, 2011 Thank you for the quick responses. I'm currently downloading the lastest version. I be out of town this weekend (Natl Guard) but I'll get it all straightened out and be ready for next friday. Thank you again 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Retro Posted June 19, 2011 Members Share Posted June 19, 2011 In RL I'm currently working on the new M2 ODS SA (Situational Awareness) Bradley. Hopefully we will see that modeled in an upcoming patch. It's an awesome vehicle and would be alot of fun in game.I googled this SA upgrade and got thisM2A2 ODS-SA: The variant that will be most common throughout Guard heavy brigades. It includes a more robust digital architecture, which includes driver’s vision enhancement, a chassis modernization, ballistic fire control, digital command and control and other upgrades.Any chance you could elaborate a bit for us? "Ballistic fire computer" - I guess it now compensates for cant, can apply lead etc? "Command and control" - some kind of map display like in the Leopardo (or, dare I mention, M1A2)? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MasterGunner309 Posted June 20, 2011 Author Share Posted June 20, 2011 Hi, correct, kinematic lead has been programmed into the fire control computer. Also, a commanders smart display has been added to provide real time C2 information via the FBCB2. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We still have not unpacked them but I was told they are the new ODS 4 version. Your thoughts......... Are they confused with the M2 ODS SA? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MasterGunner309 Posted June 20, 2011 Author Share Posted June 20, 2011 Not sure about the particular individual upgrades the to the ODS (meaning upgrades to the current ODS), but it doesn't take long to see the diff between a ODS and an SA. Take a peek at the front of the vehicle. Look for a birdhouse shaped object on the SA, near the front of the vehicle. Wont be on the standard ODS. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oscar19681 Posted July 11, 2011 Share Posted July 11, 2011 Actually i,m not that suprised this sim is still alive. Its a pretty damn good hard-core sim and its the only good modern armored combat sim out there today and there really isnt anything out there even close to it. The only thing i can think of that overlaps certain aspects or has some eliments that are simulair to SBP is Combat Mission shockforce and really its much more of a stratigy trip then it is a gunnery sim that SBP is. Awaiting the new upgrade i dont play SBP as much as i used to , but i do play it sometimes and check in the forums from time to time. I guess Its like drug that when you start out with it you may see periouds of less usage , but you can never really ever turn your back on it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
