Barkhorn1x Posted June 6, 2015 Author Share Posted June 6, 2015 Thanks for the hearty welcome from such an august group of vets.And I do have some questions as I went the whole hog; DVD, printed manual, basic license - and the $40 upgrade.So what does one get for $40? (I had no idea but I knew I wanted it :luxhello:)Does the shipped disc contain the latest version?Or will I need to patch? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grenny Posted June 6, 2015 Share Posted June 6, 2015 If you did buy the latest version (3.025) no patch or update needed. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Sean Posted June 6, 2015 Administrators Share Posted June 6, 2015 Welcome!If you have no previous version of Pro PE, the options are the $115 new permanent license, or any of the timed licenses. One year is $39.50. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One year is $39.50.Hmm...I did buy the $40 "Upgrade License" on top of the $115 base license. I guess I can just wait to use it then? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll see about crediting the $40 back to you. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barkhorn1x Posted June 7, 2015 Author Share Posted June 7, 2015 Does Track IR work for SB? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lt DeFault Posted June 7, 2015 Share Posted June 7, 2015 No, not yet. I don't think there's any plans to implement it in the near future, either. eSim is a relatively small company, and they have their hands full at the moment with current upgrades. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hedgehog Posted June 8, 2015 Share Posted June 8, 2015 OK. NP. Thanks for the info.In my experience you don't really need it eitherIn SB you tend to be doing one specific task at a timeWhere as in DCS you need to keep the plane in the air as well as juggle target acquisition and aiming of weapons and situational awareness, all at the same time.In SB you can delegate "moving around" to the AI/Autopilot with out risk of crashing into the ground. (Just into trees and rivers.) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azure Lion Posted June 10, 2015 Share Posted June 10, 2015 Er, shouldn't need to purchase the upgrade license when you buy the base license. You only need to pick up the upgrade license when a 'major' patch comes out. The base license for $115 gives you access to the latest version of the sim. For instance, say you pick up SB Pro PE version 3.xxx. Then there is a minor patch for 3.xxy that is free, just download and follow the install instructions. Later comes a major patch for version 3.yyk that you are informed costs $40. You then have the option to not pay and keep the old license, or upgrade by paying the $40.Anyway, I would like to welcome you to our community and say hello in return. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
