This might be a stupid question but does a Bradley crew have only two people, driver and gunner?

[Bison]

Three crew members; driver, gunner, and track commander.

[Gusington]

Did you try each crew spot?

[Nefaro]

Did you try each crew spot?

I never really did anything in the driver's spot, even though some vehicles have it modelled.  You can still drive in the other positions.

[Ssnake]

TBH, and not to take away anything from the complexity and responsibility of the real workplace, the driver's position isn't terribly interesting in the context of a tactical simulation. We added it because some of our customers wanted a driver's position to support the training of the vehicle commanders, that is, to force him to communicate with the entire crew rather than just the gunner. But SB Pro is no driving simulation, the driver's place is a supporting role so to speak. But, since it was there, we saw no reason to exclude it from the Personal Edition either.


BTW, expect a new version next week, this time with basic TrackIR support and a number of bugfixes. I figured that you might want to know. :)

@Ssnake:  Great news.  Always love the sim.  Now to find my dongle..hehe...dongle...

[bayonetbrant]

That's some nice context. Thanks for sharing.

What? No T-72? The T-72 can't be sexy or something?  ;)
