Steel Beasts Pro by EsimGamesCENTER/CENTERHiI am creating this thread for Steel Beasts Pro (PE) by EsimGames. Steel Beasts Pro is a niche simulation and hopefully people will contribute to this thread.
Everyone is welcome to post any questions, answers, hints, tips, eventsetc in this thread so as to keep all the info in one place. Some of the information in this thread is taken directly from the official site.“Steel Beasts is a virtual simulation of contemporary armored and mechanized combat, using combined arms and focusing on small-unit tactics. It models individual weapon systems in detail, yet is able to keep track of several company teams in a single scenario.”Armour ModelUnlike most other games, Steel Beasts does not use a hit-point system. Instead it uses a complex model that takes into consideration armour angles, armour thickness, and then calculates whether a round penetrates or not. If a round does not penetrate, it will not cause damage. However, if the round does penetrate, depending on the surface that is hit, a variety of damages will ensue.
Jun 24, 2017 Steel Beasts deserves scrutiny because it’s so damn good, and what’s more amazing is that it comes from a repetitively obscure developer. The game gives you access to the U.S. M1A1 Abrams and the German Leopard 2A4 main battle tanks. Both tanks are fully simulated, down to some of the best internal “environmental” sounds a tank sim has.
On the inside of each vehicle, all of the most important components are located, such as crew, turret drives, fuel tanks, ammunition, radios, engine, gearbox, etc. SB also has surfaces that will never cause damage to the tank, as damage to things like stowage boxes, external stowage, and such would be merely cosmetic. VersionThere are 2 versions of Steel Beasts Pro. Pro and Pro Personal Edition (PE).DRM.The DRM for the lifetime license is via a Dongle.The dongle must be inserted at all times in order to play. There is an exception to this however.
You are able to share your license over a lan or the internet. So you can remotely access your license from a different pc. One license per active game.
The Dongle must be inserted into an active pc but Steel Beasts does not need to be running to allow someone/another pc to access the license. There is no Activation/Deactivation cycle.The Dongle can hold upto 8 licenses which can be shared over a lan or internet.Replacement DongleIf it is broken, damaged or stops working then you can get a replacement dongle from Esims for $30-$35 but you must return the damaged one even if it is in pieces.Official Codemeter siteLatest dongle fimwareThe attachment shows a Code meter dongle. The one you receive may look slightly different.You are officially free to sell or transfer the Dongle to any person you choose.You can install the Steel Beasts software on any number of PC’s. However that PC must have access to the license either by:. Having the USB Dongle plugged in to the machine you are running the software on. Having access to a license over a Lan. Having access to a license over the internet.
See here:The DRM for time limited licenses uses “virtual container”. It is the same software that your dongle uses but the license resides on the pc it was activated on and cannot normally be moved.Moving the time limited license (does NOT apply to Dongle)PC stolen/lost?Then License is LostMoving to a new pc? Not possible (but a workaround exists, see below).Create a backup of C:ProgramDataCodeMeterCmActThis folder contains the encrypted license files. If you simplyreinstall Windows you can restore this folder after reinstalling theCodeMeter runtime, and things SHOULD work normally - provided that youdidn’t change the Windows registration code along with other hardwareelements that the CodeMeter runtime uses to verify the validity of thelicense.We’re tracking a fingerprint of five elements, e.g. Network adapterMAC address, harddisk serial number, CPU ID; three of the five mustremain the same not to render the license invalid.If you are planning to replace the PC, it’s best to time the purchaseof the new hardware with the expiration date of the license. If thatisn’t possible, you can still configure the old PC as a license serverin the “Configuration Network Server” tab of the CodeMeter WebAdmin.The new PC can then borrow its license from the old PC, provided thatthey are connected vial network.Installing LicenseWhen you install the Steel Beasts Programme The Codemeter software is installed.
This is needed for a time limited license as well as the Dongle.Next stage is the installation of the license. This is done by email. When you purchase the license (Dongle or time) you will receive an email with an activation link. Do the following:Dongle License.Make sure dongle is plugged in and hit the “activate” button in the email you receive and wait. The license is being transferred to your Dongle. It will tell you when it is done.
It is now ready and has a license on the Dongle. Plug it into any pc that has a Steel Beasts install and you are ready to go.Time limited license.You will activate this on the PC that you installed the Steel Beasts/Codemeter programme. “Activate” the license in the email and it will install into a “virtual” container' (virtual dongle) within the Codemeter programme. Wait until the activation process has completed. You are ready to go.Upgrading from Time limited license to DonglePlug the Dongle into the PC that has the Steel Beasts/Codemeter programme installed and follow instructions for “Dongle License” above.color=red You do NOT have to un-install the Time Limited License./colorDongle.Getting Started.1. In the main menu. Select “record” and pick a user name.
This is very important because it builds up a service record.2. Start with the installed tutorials. Pick ONE vehicle and stick with it until you are comfortable. The Leo 2A5 is popular as is the M1A1. The Leo tutorial contain 23 separate tutorials. You will not have to do 23 for each vehicle as many of the tutorial are generic. Fire control and systems do vary so you want to pay attention.
Pick ONE first and have at it.3. Tank range/Gunnery score. Once you know the basics you can move on to the Tank range.
It is very important you get some practice in here as your score here will dictate how the AI on your side will do. Say you have a terrible score on the tank range and you are the Tank Commander of your tank. The AI will assume the gunner position and fire. The AI uses your Tank Range score here so if you have a high score the gunner will be a better shot. You can do the Tank Range as many times as you wish.
Your score can only increase not decrease. So if one day you have a bad session on the range your skill will not be affected.
Practice, practice, practiceYour score on the range is used like this:For offline: It affects the friendly AIFor Online: All AI have the same score of 75%. This includes enemy and friendly (though sometimes you wouldn’t think it;) )However something to remember. When you take control of the gunners position on and off line the only thing that matters is how you perform at that moment. Your previous gunnery score is not used.Difficulty Settingthe chosen difficulty level will influence how quickly targets will be recognised. (on “Easy” your own units will receive a bonus in alertness and reaction speed, on “Hard” difficulty the enemy will be faster to react. Targets will be prioritised by their threat level.
The threat level is a function of armament, range, whether a unit moves or is stationary, and whether it’s located to the front, flank, or rear.Realism SettingsThis setting activates assists for the player. These help in your situational awareness.
These are some of the assists:.Cross-hair to estimate where the gun is pointing when overriding the gunner in the M1.Direction indicators for map reference points.The laser tag marker on the map.These helpers will disappear as the realism level is increased.Comms ProcedureComing really soonHelpTeamSpeak (IP: 216.22.24.158, Port 9987)Daily at 20:00 (GMT+1)Room: Dogs of WarAvailable VehiclesExcellent series of videos produced in December 2011 showing interior and exterior of the available vehicles in the sim. These are videos showing an older version so some vehicles/positions and interiors are omitted. This is using the older graphics engine.Steel Beasts Museum Part 1Steel Beasts Museum Part 2Steel Beasts Museum Part 3.Online/Multiplayer.RequiredbTeamspeak Download:Teamspeak IP: 216.22.24.158, Port 9987Microphone and Headphones (a decent set). A good background environment for you to play. It can be annoying and distracting when everyone hears your dogs barking, wife screaming at you, kids going crazy or if you are playing music.
Be sensible.Port Forwarding: Make sure the relevant ports are open.TCP/UDP: 2300 to 2400UDP: 47624 (not required if just joining in 3.019 beta)This is a useful site.(More to follow)SuggestedIt is a good idea to have gone through all of the tutorials for at least 1 vehicle.EtiquetteThe main lobby. This is where you will appear when you log in.
You can chat to people here and ask for help. Games are not played here they are played in the various rooms or virtual units. The Steel Beasts community is generally friendly but there may be the odd:crazy2:. It is generally a respectful environment.
It’s not like COD or other online games as this community is more mature. Introduce yourself. Tell them you are new if you are and what experience you have. The rest is easy.
Same with entering a virtual unit room. Do not jump in and start demanding a game. They may be in the middle of a session. Just say hi and wait:).The VU or meeting will have a time listed.
Do NOT be late. Try and be there at least 15 minutes early.pm me if you would like to meet up on Teamspeak or if you have any questions drop them here on this thread.Radio/Comms ProcedureComing soonTime zonesThe Steel Beasts community are from all over the world. It can be difficult understanding meeting times. Heres a site i use:CommunityIt is to early to give a definitive impression of the Steel Beasts community. However it is mainly made up of more “mature” people. There is a mix of serving and retired military as well as many knowledgeable enthusiasts.
Don’t worry if you are not an expert on armoured warfare as you can pick up lots of information on the way. I would say that the community has an average age of 40 (rough guestemate based on talking with many members).
The price, complexity and software tends to keep the “arcade” crowd out.Virtual UnitsMost of these units have players/members from all over the world and are very welcoming. Time zone may dictate the times they are active though.1st Canadian Armour Division (Canada)3er Regimiento Tizona (Spain)BG ANZAC (Australia/New Zealand)UK Armour (UK), Every Sunday 20:00 (GMT+1)US Armor (USA)United Operations (USA / International)Target (German)PzBtl911 (German)SVU- Soviet VU.

Tips/Tactics etcSome things to remember:.The terrain is your friend. Use it.Make like water.
Stick to the low ground.Smoke a life saver. However you will announce your position to everyone so move.Do NOT sit in one spot, especially after you have fired. You may have been spotted.Use your friendly vehicles to cover you.Dismounting the APC troops at the right time can make all the difference.Situational awareness is very important. Know where you, the enemy and friendly units are.Map NavigationEach square is 1KmIt is a good idea to take a look at the map before the mission starts2D map:Contour line spacing: This can only be changed during the planning phase.OptionsContour line spacingselect valueZoom: Mouse wheel or “Map Zoom” sliderMoving around: Press & Hold centre mouse button or keyboard arrow keys.Battle Plan: Right click.New GraphicFree View in 3D view:Very handy to explore the 3D terrain but only works during the planning phase.
F1 key or selecting “view” by right clicking the map, you can go to anyplace on the map during the battle and navigate using the WASDX & QZ keys, and arrow keys to pan. Also the mouse can be used.Lost: Cant find where you are on the map? Right click the map.Center on meCant find team mates?: Select participants on the map tool bar and select the team mate.AAR ToolThere is a very powerful tool in Steel Beasts which allows you to see the AAR. It can be saved and viewed later.
It shows information like:Where you were hit.Who/what hit you.Screen ShotsScreen shots are taken by pressing “shift + F12”. The resulting image is saved in the “C:UsersXXDocumentseSim GamesSteel BeastssavedImages” where “XX” is the username.Creating/editing missions.File PathsYou can download existing maps and missions here:Using the editorIf you find a mission that does not have the vehicle you want to use just start the Editor and select/change the unit types you want. You cannot change/edit all missions. Just like the Command Modern Air/Naval thread, I’m always a little envious of people that can play these ultra-hardcore niche sim games. The price, learning curve, and time investment needed to play are way out of my league now, but this is exactly the stuff I loved when I was in my 20’s. Heck, some of my fondest memories in the military was “playing” similar DoD-funded programs with my unit to work out Fulda Gap strategies and Desert Storm engagements.The closest I get now to something like this is Arma 3.
Telefrog:Just like the Command Modern Air/Naval thread, I’m always a little envious of people that can play these ultra-hardcore niche sim games. The price, learning curve, and time investment needed to play are way out of my league now, but this is exactly the stuff I loved when I was in my 20’s.Hi TelefrogI understand what you are saying. SB can be surprisingly easy to get into as it has AI assistance which works remarkably well. However it is very deep as it models systems to a high degree. There are many built in tutorials which make the process easier. If you need any help, information or advice let me know.As for price, that is a personal thing.Regards.
Asid.:As for price. This is the way i look at it. SB costs twice the price of an average PC release but ask yourself how much time/enjoyment you will get out of it?Hopefully no more than 20 hours or so. My all-time favorite games are out there somewhere, and I need time to find them! Who knows if this is one of them.Anyway, we know the argument. People just like to kick the topic around a bit.One more thing: we’re not a wargame mailing list, so you don’t need to say Hi and Regards either.:) Welcome to the forum.
