We are very close to a release date everyone! The release should happen before October 31st. Thanks for your patience!  B)

i would like to note that a goal was set at the beginning of this month to have a release ready to go by the 31st. i had a family obligation i needed to attend to last week which was for the span of the entire week, which pushed any progress ahead for another week. in my upcoming days off, i will attempt to finalize any work i have done up to this point and create a release out from it. there are a number of technical back-end routines that i am not completely satisfied with, but those have been noted and will be worked on through time. i am welcome to anyone who is Visual Basic/Linux savvy to assist me in any programming (note, programming, not testing) because for any major project i have ever worked on, it is always a learning curve: coding things i have never thought to work on before.. always fun :) anyway.. as for release dates, i am aiming before Halloween, although if i cant meet that period, it would have to be around the first week of November.
Cheers!

hey guys..
i spent all night cleaning up the sources and preparing an installation executable to install the emulator, and upon installing the emulator on windows vista, i noticed one small huccup .. vista is incompatible with the Type 1 fonts that i was installing along with the emulator.. so for the last hour i have converted all the fonts from Type 1 to TrueType fonts. easy?.. thats what you think.. so i cut the emulator over to the new TTF, and one font doesnt seem to display the right way.. i will work on this later this evening.. other than that.. the release before halloween seems to be happening.. anyway.. to see what i mean by the font not displaying properly, i took a screenshot of the traffic incident frame.. this frame was funny too..

With that "your logo here" spot, might I be able to insert this logo:

I will be working on tutorials later today to make the install and setup for people as easy as possible. However it really is a very easy setup! :)

Also I want to note that while this is a public release it will be a controlled public release. Meaning, while with the 4000 emulator, people could download the program freely, you will need to request participation to get access to the program. Everyone will be accepted. This is simply a means to control the release of the program.

The only reason I said HD was because it was the only logo that looked like it would fit perfectly. ;)

Will you be available to set up a config file for me between 8-11PM ET tonight? I believe you already have my YIM name.

Now that it will be released to the public, you will not be required to stream it. ;)
