Well here is a sim of a different sort, a tank sim. MS has said Flight Sim is as real as it gets, well this sim is very real and its the one used by the military(s). Here are some shots that I took so far.

Here is the website if you want to buy it (note not cheap $125)

Hmmm....tanks are a bit slow for a 'fun' sim...unless you're a tank driver (who it's aimed at as you say) - I think I'll pass on purchasing it Cheesy

Interesting to see though, and the tanks look good, the surroundings less so...thanks for sharing!

It is a great sim and definately worth the asking price. The best part about it is it still hasn't been hacked(it uses a USB dongle for protection). There is a more consumer friendly version coming out Steel Beasts 2 with updated graphics and more of a "game scenerio" and it will be more in line with game pricing. You are correct the terain textures could be better, but there are modded terrain files just like for most other sims.

Tanks might be slow but in this sim things can happen really fast. Krigl when Steel Beast 2 comes out I am buying you a copy and making you into a tank commander for life! I think you would love it!

I have run into this sim before and found it too look very interesting, although as you noted the price kinda put me off.

Reminds me of Armored Fist 3 which I used to play a few years back. Tank games are actually very fun.

I read that title wrong for sure....

Pretty nice shots- the tanks look quite realistic and the night vision isnt too bad for a game

Depends on which equipment you have installed... if its red you probably have the wires wrong (sync on green)
