Steel Beasts Pro PE Has Gone Gold
Mountain View, CA, February 9, 2006 - Software developer eSim Games, LLC announced today that the Personal Edition of their armor simulation "Steel Beasts Professional" has gone gold. Shipping will begin as soon as duplication and printing are complete.
"We're happy about the release and proud of the Personal Edition", said president and lead programmer Al Delaney. "SB Pro PE fills a gap in individual training and distance learning projects of some of our customers, whom we can now support even better with our solutions. In addition, the Personal Edition is available to anybody interested in contemporary armored and mechanized combat tactics, and can be ordered directly from our web site."
The Personal Edition is the sum of a number of software customizations on the original Steel Beasts simulation game which were ordered by several armies over the past three years. Noticeable improvements over the original simulation game include support for 3D accelerator hardware (for higher screen resolutions and a better representation of the virtual environment), improved artwork, and the addition of a number of armored vehicles that were never before modeled in detail by any other commercially available software - including two variants of the Leopard 1, the Leopard 2A5, the M2/M3A2 Bradley, the FIST vehicle for artillery support, and various M113 and Humvee versions.
"With these additions Steel Beasts Professional can now rightfully characterized as a combined arms simulation", Technical Director Nils Hinrichsen pointed out. "Previously we had a focus on main battle tanks, but we are broadening the perspective step by step without giving up our attention to detail. And there's even more down the road. Our concept of Steel Beasts Pro is that whenever we add a special feature for a certain customer, we will make it available to all other customers as well. We call it 'informal joint development'. For example, the Swedish Army has commissioned a development contract for the CV9040 IFV, one of the world's leading armored fighting vehicles. Once that we have finished the work on it, we will offer an upgrade to everybody - including our customers of the Personal Edition - that will include this new virtual vehicle. This extends the product lifetime of the Professional series for as long as there is interest among our customers to see improvements!" WOOHOO! Now where's that guy who kept saying it was varpoware? BAM!

To make matters worse: AFV Sim.com has offered us one of their super-duper handle replicas as the first price of a Steel Beasts tournament - and of course that was an offer that we simply couldn't refuse. There is no immediate hurry in it. We will need to think about the terms & conditions of it, and we want to give everyone enough time to familiarize himself with SB Pro PE - and with a bit of luck we're going to find some other partner for additional prizes. Well, just so that you know. Back to work...

Damn. I'm on the Beta team, and I don't get the newsletter.
Probably because I never thought to sign up, I guess.

Relax Kegel, I spent several hundred euros on VBS1 .Now that's sick!! BTW Ark...I'm the vaporware guy. LOL. Still havent received it though so you never know. Hehe, I did remember you and I was tempted to write something sarcastic... Good to see that you haven't lost your faith at all. Welcome back!
