I'd sign up except that I really dont have the time right now, I _can_ offer suggestions and maybe propose some solutions to certain problems.

   I'll have to get more room made on my drive... I won't make the same mistake twice! I tried the new open source thing in my eXpenrimental folder. I'll make a NEW Folder just for the EXE... That will make ummm 8 copies of FS2 on my Computer :cool:

E-mail sent.  I'm fairly busy, so I might not always have immediate time, but I can find some.  Maybe late at night...;-)  It would be cool to see some form of multithread capability...  Maybe allow software TnL emulation the function of a second CPU.  I don't know how plausable that would be, but I would like it...

JudgeMental:

Thanks for joining up.

This thread is about testing. Make source code request to the source code forum or the chances are I'll be the only coder who reads it. :)

Im not sure I get what your saying about multithreading. As far as T&L goes, why would we want to emulate when we could simply make it use hardware T&L on your card?

I have done some work on this and discovered it to be a VERY difficult task, so dont hold your breath.
