OK - I took the plunge. I did play the original Steel Beasts so not a total nube.

Anyway, gonna need the following:
- Any graphics issues I should know about? I have a GTX 760 2 Gig card
- Where are the best scenarios located?
- The best skins?
- Good tutorials?

Thanks all in advance.

Well there are a bunch of Tutorials built in.

Basically you pick a vehicle type and then work through them. While many share similar concepts the M1 tutorial doesn't fully prepare you to run say a Leo 2E.

Skins vary - depending on what you want to depict.

I'd strongly suggest you join the Steel Beast forum (http://www.steelbeasts.com/sbforums/index.php) for a bunch of this stuff.

I think from memory there is a recent thread (called "FNG" or similar) that may also help.

Also if you want can I suggest you drop in and have a look at some multi player action?

In about 20 hours from the time of this post we are running a multi mission activity that will go for about 9 hours or so (you don't have to watch all of it smile ) and it might be a good opportunity to see what is possible.

If you drop me a PM we can arrange it so you can use TeamViewer to watch proceedings "over my shoulder" without needing the software.

If you really get a taste I can lend you a license for tomorrow too.

Finally happy to help with any questions you may have.

No. Just be aware that the shadows and AA can have an impact if set to high. You will be fine with your card.

There are many great scenarios included with SB. When you want more then go to the downloads section here: http://www.steelbeasts.com/Downloads

Not really required but if you later do want some then go to the downloads section here: http://www.steelbeasts.com/Downloads

There are excellent tutorials built into SB.

There are many documents and tutorials in PDF format made available when you install Steel Beasts. The default location of the documents folder is: "C:\Program Files (x86)\eSim Games\SB Pro PE\docs". You may have installed to a different directory.

There are also many documents in the "downloads" section on the official site here: http://www.steelbeasts.com/Downloads/p13_sectionid/19

The "documents" folder also contains a "key chart" as well as PDF manual"

You can observe missions while they are happening or just listen in if you wish.

I found the relevant post (its pretty much a summary of all the pieces above):
