OK, I am waiting.

I think "eSim Soft" would sound much better.

License sharing works! It's time for me to purchase SBPro PE at eSim store! Let's hope this joy-dongle arrives pretty fast!

SOLD!

Well, we don't.

For the record and future search results, I'd like to mention that I had an opportunity to borrow a license and found the sim meet my expectations. In fact, it's quite fun and can be played on many levels, from a gunner taking targets from a Tank Commandeer (Human or AI) to a commandeer of a company or more playing only from the view from his vehicle and the map. There are even UAVs. Artillery FO roles are available as well. Infantry can also be commanded, though not in any detail beyond basic commands to the squad.

There are many tutorials to play and learn. Some of of the tutorial texts are a bit out of date, though the main doc and the wiki fill in the blank spots (specifically the M2A2 TOW launcher and the artillery tut)

I found the graphics to be adequate for conveying information and atmosphere and the draw distances can go up to at least a dozen kilometers on a newer machine. The sound is very good, and a nice touch is the delay between sight and sound for distant explosions and gunfire.

I am able to play the game with good performance on my circa 2007 dual-core, nVidia M8600 laptop as well as my desktop. I even got acceptable frame rates on my backup pentium4.

I was surprised that this sim does not support TrackIR, as I feel this would be an obvious addition. However the mouse-look works well and is sufficient.

Also, I found the keyboard command layout to be a bit non-intuitive and to vary oddly between vehicles and roles. The differences are not overwhelming however and half an hour and a quick review of the manual for each is sufficient to get going.

Hi all,

I have some licenses available if someone wants to try pro pe for a while. They are on a server running 24/7. Drop me a pm if interested.

Also your own website is probably going to be helpful as regards the learning curve.
Another help is playing online and talking about or listening to discussions on military art and science with other players on TS. I know that I myself have benefited from such things. Both of these will expose one to different ideas and methods than what oneself uses and relies on.

Hi!

My CM stick has just arrived today after eight days long waiting! Now my SBPro PE is running independently. Thanks to all for license sharing in the meantime.

Cheers!

Darn that SeanSB!!

I got the chance to test this game out after passing it for years..
Just hearing the sounds and seeing the open fields has made me finally purchase it..

Thanks for the loan Sean.. hope to use it till the dongle makes it here..
Oh..btw, friend ALSO ordered it.. I think more people that actually try this game would buy it..

thanks again..

Edit: Dongle took 3 days.. west coast to east coast.. Sweet!

I'm glad you like it. We'll make sure to make it even better in the coming years.
