Hi Schroeder, As Jeff has mentioned in his post BISIM no longer offers personal editions for sale as we are solely focused on supporting our military, government and commercial customer base who are the intended users of VBS and the new line up of software we offer. The cryptic advice that there may be other possibilities comes back to what many others have posted in this topic. This being the purchase of a commercial licensed subscription. Due to the cost involved in this yearly subscription it isn't really a viable alternative for the average home user. Hope that clears up the ambiguity in the previous post. Regards, Troy

At present the PE version is not listed on our store as we are in the process of finalizing a few things. For those who want to purchase you need to use the contact form on our site at http://products.bisimulations.com/contact-us Our offices will be closing down over the Christmas period between 21 December and reopening 2 January. Orders placed during this time will be processed after the 2nd.

Sabre there is an Australian group that now has 10 members with VBS2 PE so you should be able to easily hook up some games.

Hi Doug, Good to talk to you on the phone today and thanks again for popping into the Australian office and saying hi. It was nice to hear some good feedback from the community. Looking forward to jumping on PE and having a game with you.
