Hi Drew Installer packages were created for rcssserver3d 0.6.4 and simspark 0.2.1 release on windows, but they were not released right after the official release. With a bit of delay, they were released three months ago on sourceforge. The tbb version of ode used in this release makes compilation a bit harder, but that would not be a serious problem. Updated installer packages for windows will be up soon :) On 4/28/11, Hedayat Vatankhah <hed...@gm...> wrote: > > > /*Drew Noakes <dre...@ya...>*/ wrote on 04/28/2011 5:35:02 PM > +0450: >> Great news.
