Ive been playing SBPro for a while now, which has driven what Id like to see enhance this sim, they are:

* User customizable and unique tank skins for online play (helps with player ID, can be user or host enabled/disabled)
* The M1A2 (for obvious reasons)
* TrackIR support for player view control (optional instead of using stick controller)
* Map view exportable to a secondary monitor (without having to have a second key)
* User configurable axis to controller GUI (TM WartHog split throttle control of the tank tracks, or rudder control; stick to control turret)

Any chance of getting these, or a timeframe if they are being worked?
Best Regards,

Start a second instance of SB Pro PE on the same computer, and set up a network session with yourself. Have both instances run in windowed mode. You won't need a second license for that.

The individual skin feature in all of the various content wish-lists I've seen so far :-)

I wouldn't go so far as to have ind. "skin"(if every vehicle had different cammo, it would look like a circus and not like a platoon/company) , but the tactical markings on the vehicles would be great.

TrackIR is rather low on our priority list. Here's why:
It appears to me that it would be useful primarily in the vehicle commander's position while unbuttoned. Granted, if you do play the role of the vehicle commander, chances are that you will spend a substantial amount of time in this position. Still, it appears as a very limited application. It's different in a racing car or in a fighter plane. Here the player is glued to one very specific cockpit position, with both instruments and adversary positions to check continuously while maneuvering the vehicle. Here it absolutely makes sense to support TrackIR. Also in a first person shooter, I can imagine that it has its place. But Steel Beasts Pro has only a very rudimentary driver's position which, I assume, is hardly ever used, and there is no first person shooter mode - at least not while you move.

The second request - well, it was a deliberate decision that the player may control the vehicle only in a limited way from any non-driver's place position, simply because reality is even worse. The turret crew can direct the driver only through talking. In SB Pro it is already simplified that the reaction time of the driver is near zero. If at all, we should make things even worse, with at least half a second delay between command an execution.

As for the rest, things look better. There's a fair chance that you will see some of the requested features in a not too distant future.

Did I just read that as a might get to see a playable M-1A2 Ssnake?

Fun thing is, I would just like some individual vehicle numbers, that is about the one variable in painting on vehicles, at least all the Leo's here in Denmark are alike regarding the scheme applied.

Hi Guys ,

I would love to see proper shadows implemented ,and also an M1a2 , Merkava III / IV etc.

But in the long term , a proper dynamic campaign with crew / vehicle/ platoon management like M1TP2 from the "good 'ol days"

But shadows remain my major short term wish .

Keep up the good work Snake.
