SB Pro PE 4.023 Release Notes

Version 4.023 is a free update. At least one more free update is planned for the 4.0 series of SB Pro PE, then introducing the new terrain engine.

For this update, the biggest changes are
  • The hovercam animation path editor: Create your own cinematic scenes with smoothly moving cameras
  • Substantial updates to the CV90/35 fire control system simulations. Things just got more complicated, yay!
  • Four pages of bug fixes, the joy!
  • New terrain objects, and textures; more shit to build better farms

The Release Notes for the first patch to version 4.023 can be found here.

Well, the RAM uncertainty has been resolved by the release notes:

We recommend a 2.5GHz multi-core CPU (faster is better), 8 GByte RAM (16...32 recommended for high resolution map conversions)

News on next major release:

Even without access to the internet there is a serious amount of documentation included with Steel Beasts itself (although a current version of the User’s Manual can only be supplied with the next update, currently scheduled for July 2017 (as of this writing — Dec. 22, 2017).

And the following items on my wish list have been fulfilled:
ATGMs:
Spike-MR
Spike-SR

General:
Improved LMG audio (currently the RPK and PKM sounds are mixed up)

I just noticed in the release notes that the statement about the next update coming in July 2017 is a typo. The release notes also say that 4.1 and a new user manual will be coming in July 2018:

This is a preliminary document to complement the version 3.0 User’s Manual until a version 4.1 User’s Manual will go into print – probably in July 2018.
