The full specification and reasoning behind the simulator can now be found here. This gives the full background on the simulator and an idea of whats to come.

Videos

Here a couple of videos of the simulator in action. The first shows the rain system working as well as the basics of the simulator, roads, the ground plane and the skybox as well as a few trees (whose leaves now point in the right direction). It also shows the rain being blown around during 'gusts' of virtual wind. The second shows the user moving around the virtual world, controlling the direction with the mouse (follow the cursor and watch how it turns). These were generated using the Windows Media 9 SDK and hence require Windows Media Player to watch.

They can be obtained here and here.
