i have v4.3 running and im wondering why del and ctrl C and ctrl V are
retarded. ie they work when i first start but after a while i have to use the right button click and scroll to copy, delete, paste etc...
it would be good just to be able to use the short cuts
Simile 4.4 has now been released to fix problems found in the Windows version of Simile 4.3. Simile 4.4 for Mac OS-X will be released shortly but it does not suffer from these bugs.
We have discovered some serious problems with Simile v4.3 :oops: We shall correct these in a new version to be released as soon as possible, but in the mean time here is a list of the problems encountered and some workarounds.
Here at Simulistics we now turn our attention to the next major release of Simile, version 5.0. The big idea here is that we will extend the functionality to event-based simulation, thus bringing problems such as assembly-line or network traffic modelling within Simile's capabilities. It has always been our philosophy that new capabilities should integrate seamlessly with existing functionality, and we anticipate a product which will allow continuous change and discrete events to interact within the same simulation.

I'm teaching Forest Land Use and Management again this semester, and using
Simile (still using 3.3).
I recently discovered that one of my students is partly colour-blind, and
couldn't discriminate red and black constructs.
He was thrilled when I showed him how easy it is to customize colours, and
this changed him from a rather average student to a Simile-geek.
I am currently in the procss of improving and tidying the interface between Simile and its generated model code in order to make models directly accessible to other applications. I am interested in hearing from potential users of this interface regarding what they might find useful. Currently under development is a new model execution interface, allowing a single procedure call to run the model over many time steps.
In particular I am aware that some users want to interface models to Visual Basic programs, with a view to sharing VB code designed to do this.
Users with access to a MacOS X system will pleased to know that we are now publicly testing the first release candidate of Simile for MacOS X. You can get involved in the testing program by downloading Simile from http://simulistics.com/products/macosx.htm
We hope for as many people as possible to have a look at Simile, and for this reason it is freely available until 31 May 2005. Send us your feedback, or post it here. We look forward to hearing from you.
