We continue Monte Carlo simulations of observable comets production from the Oort Cloud by the Galactic disk tidal force. After the detailed analysis we concluded that averaged equations cannot be used in our case. We also concluded, that observability criteria should be defined and used with the extreme care due to their significant influence on the final statistical picture of the simulated observable comet population.

We present some details of the current version of our computer simulation program and some results explaining the necessity of selected procedures.
