Between this is Visual Basic versions of Skyscraper 1.1, the C++ version was started in June 2005 and simultaneous versions of VB and C++ were released until the VB version was discontinued in mid 2006. The simulator became relatively stable in 2008 and the focus was put on the Triton Center, the simulator was released when the Triton Center was completed.

For the Crystal Space development versions of Alpha 8, Alpha 7 and earlier used the CS "Thingmesh" system for 3D geometry,
Alpha 8 switched over to my own system called "Polymesh" which was made specifically for Skyscraper.
Skyscraper was ported over to the Ogre engine in Late 2010/Early 2011.

The Crystal Space engine was dropped in favor of Ogre (which took "a lot of work" to port the simulator over), this was done because Ogre had "better features" and supported things like the "Caelum sky system". Interestingly enough Crystal Space development stopped not that long after (after they put out a 2.0 release), and the engine is now discontinued, Ogre is still being developed.
