I'm going to be very nice, because you might be a teenager or someone who isn't worldy enough yet to understand:
Please try to be considerate and patient while the program is being finished. It's awesome that you are really excited to play it and help the developer by giving him *constructive* critism, but as anyone who has programmed for a living will tell you, it's ready when it's ready. Unless you are going to want to play something buggy, or not as what the developer intended, please just try to be patient.
You asking all the time isn't helping - although - we can tell, you are really excited to play it.
Category3 Interactive has been extremely busy trying to meet customers' demands. Things are now thankfully slowing down, and I has decided to resume development on all of his third-party projects (the simulator being on of them). BUT, I'll need your feedback before we continue.
We have created two in-game graphic sets. One of them is a front-facing view of the train. You take the seat of the operator and everything he or she would see, you would see. This is similar to the simulators found at TowersTimes.co.uk. This would be the simplest and quickest to develop.
The second graphic set created is based off a sky view of the coaster. You would view the entire track along with the trains from a bird's-eye-view. This view is found more commonly. This view is similar to those found at TheMagical.nl and RideSims.
We have nearly completed the front-facing view's programming, and have started the sky view programming. However, this does not affect the release date. They would be released at similar dates. No ETA given.
So, the choice is yours. Please comment or personally message this account in order to have a say! We really would like to continue development, but without your feedback, it would be hard to do so. Please help us out!

Who are your other clients? If you don't mind sharing that, I just find it interesting. Also, a friend of mine on facebook showed me this: http://marveland.blogspot.com/2011/05/h ... r-one.html Isn't that you they're talking about? Sorry, I know it's slightly off topic, I just found this all really interesting.
Hahahahaha, yes, unfortunately. That is not something I'm proud of. That was, however, before I began to learn ActionScript. And I am apart of an interactive media group specializing in mobile and web development. The majority of the clients are just small businesses looking to go mobile.
MAKE NOTE : This is what I had done as of 1-18-12. I have completed much more than this. I actually redesigned the entire UI. This is just basically for reference. The control panel is nearly exact, and the majority of the items are functional. Please, do NOT let this affect the outcome of the game.
Candy: What you lookin' at? Otis B. Driftwood: I'm lookin' at you, mama. Candy: Yeah, you see something you like? Otis B. Driftwood: Maybe. I set my standards pretty low, so I'm never disappointed.
Been very busy with some other mobile based projects. The next time I have nothing on the agenda, I'll go ahead and release it. Glad to hear there were no issues!
I messed around with it the other day. Great work So far! I'm hooked..lol.

N2b, although being the ride control enthusiast that I am, I remember what the control panel looks like, and that's not quite right Missing a few buttons and lights.
I think I'll have time to release it sometime next week. Thanks for the feedback guys!
I've just finished the new, improved UI and added so much more functionality. I'll release the simulator to the SFGAmWorld.com Forums first, and then I'll update all other sites this project has been posted on. Stay tuned for more.
