We're looking into that possibility. I'm pretty sure it will be released publically, but not sure when or how at this point.

Right now we are mostly focusing on events local to some Lockheed Martin sites (which of course are pretty much everywhere). We have one possibility in Atlanta and another in Baltimore (both in June). We do the full setup, 6 computers and two plasmas.

About the subject though, it looks like next year we have the possibility of having different simulations which cover all of the uses listed above, if current ideas are built upon and updated for next season. There's the Half-Life mod, the recently released flash game, AustinSchuh's driving/autonomous sim, and 5th Gear, all of which approach simulation from a different angle. Pretty exciting.
