    I have only been here for a short few months and had my fairs share issues with X-Sim (which were my fault) most if not all have been addressed and fixed by various members here especially bvillersjr.

    As of today I am experimenting with different profiles downloaded from this site and have found the X-Sim to be very stable and a whole lotta fun.
    My question is why X-Sim has not moved to the 64bit platform in fact I see that you will be dropping the 64bit in 2010 due to funding;
    How much are we talking about?
    Is it in the hundreds or thousands is that the only issue stopping the progress to 64bit?
    If it is only a question of funding and if we are talking hundreds and not thousands then let’s try to engage some of the members to help.

    I for one will be glad to contribute as I am sure will others.

    In time, 64-bit games will exist on the market. Additionally, some newer high-end hardware such as graphics cards, etc.. are no longer providing consumers with 32-bit drivers.

    If you are willing to make the community a 64-bit version of X-Sim, I am willing to purchase a code signing certificate and I already have a company name registered as Villers Enterprises that I can use to purchase the certificate. If you tell me which code signing certificate that you require, I can provide you with the certificate, or I could sign it for you.

    I have known you and your excellent work for long enough to trust you with a code signing certificate in my name.
