Hi Daniel (Jonstark)!
Your simulation is impressive, I saw only once a so good performance (by PhilW).
I believe that there would not be to much work for DAZ to improve this feature, but they are obsessed too much by the evolution of DS and not of Carrara.
You speak about comparisons with MD and Poser, it should be said that these softwares are a lot more advanced for simulations and the results are impeccable.
Unfortunately, one cannot export the hair since Poser (I do not think so).
To summarize, I can say that you gave me  again confidence in simulations of Carrara (clothing and hair), which it would be nice, it is that you carry out tutos in .PDF to be able to use your experiments on the same computer. (my work computer never goes on Internet).
Thank you to share your experiments !
