Hi
Long time no posting. Just letting you know that out of this project I turned it into a real game here: http://goo.gl/MgZLH
It´s called Dogfight and works on mobile platforms.
The code base is an extension of the code I posted here in 2002, so if you manage it to import it to newer versions of Visual Studio, you should know you can achieve things like this!

A couple months back I downloaded this with the intention of creating a glider simulation. I was immediately excited by it and it looked very promising.
The code took a lot of tweaking to even compile under .Net 2.0. What I finally realized is that while being a great intro to 3D game programming and flight simulation, the quality at the detailed level is not what I want.
So I set about systematically changing it piece by piece. Here's how it went:
1 - Replaced Direct Play with a UDP based client/server protocal based on the Code Project: "Gensis UDP Server Client". http://www.codeproject.com/cs/internet/Genesis.asp[^]
2 - Removed the keyboard input to use the system events as microsoft now suggests
3 - Removed the DirectInput Actions and created my own configurable Key & Button Action Mapper
4 - I created a joystick configuration dialog
5 - The graphics and the aerodynamics modeling where all mix-mashed together. I removed this whole sale, see the next two.
6 - The physics model has bugs (errors). I'm using the rigid body dynmics modeling from this site:
http://www.gaffer.org/game-physics/physics-in-3d[^]
7 - The flight modelling is functional, but trivial. I've added a force build up model which will allow the creation or an arbitrary number of forces; liftingbodies (wings and tail surfaces), landing gear, thrust.
When I'm done I should have a first class simulation entirely in .Net 2.0/C#. Hopefully it may even be a bit easier to follow. I may write an article (or series) on it, respond if you would be interested.

Hi Bruce,
It's true my code wasn't great. I was never too happy about it since it was the efford of a couple days of coding I believe and it was to show how to use directx managed code (just came out).
I improved it alot since but I haven't worked in the project for more than a year. The last time I touched it looked like this: http://www.bocazas.com/airplanecool3.jpg[^] (the cabine was from a different game).
It still had alot of bugs and I would need to search through my harddrive to find the code. I decided not to post any updates until I was happy with the code.
I think you should post your glider simulation. Alot of .net libraries have been released since then and it will be great to see a much better implementation of a simulator

Wow, 2 days! I've spent 2 weeks and I dont even have anything that works right now.
I honestly think you did a remarkable job of combining a ton of off the wall services to create something provocative. And this was like 5 years ago when C# was brand new. My hats off, well done! Lets just kick it up a notch or three!

I've made some good progress. The physics engine ported nicely from the C sample on Gaffer. I added force management, which includes lifting bodys and a configuration file format typed data set. It flys much more realistically now. I'm probably about ready to post an article once I get the example and source ready.

Hi I get some errors while compiling the code

Hi everybody,
I have some library and source in ANSI C, now I want to use it in C#. How can I do it ?

Pray.
Actually C# and C++ are really easy to port between, the only thing with C is that you have no classes, and C# is ALL classes, C++ is the perfect inbetween. So you will probably need to create classes with all static methods, as there is no where else to put your methods.

there is a exception when get to the followed sentence.
can you tell me why.;P
d3dDevice = new Device(0, DeviceType.Hardware, this, CreateFlags.SoftwareVertexProcessing, d3dpp);

it could be for lot of reasons, maybe your direct3d acceletaion is not enabled on the directx setup: go to start/run and type dxdiag
make your on the tabs that direct3d is enabled.
anyway, i fixed lot of bugs already you are better downloading the lastest cvs from www.sourceforge.net/projects/airplanewar
hopefully i will release 0.3 soon and post it here too, it fixed all bugs from this version and huge improvement of quality

I got the same exception, and the direct3d is enabled.

get the lastest cvs from www.sourceforge.net/projects/airplanewar
it should be fixed, I haven't changed the code in a while since it seems nobody wants to help with the 3d design freely
unfortunately if nobody is able to help with that, i will discontinue the project since it is useless to create a flight simulator with flying boxes

i am wondering, is this project still alive ?
i've just installed visual studio 8 trial and tried to compile this
after seeing it mentioned in the newsletter a month or so ago.
after running exe and selecting host from the dplay box i get
unhandled exception System.TypeLoadException in AirplaneWar.exe[324]
(??)
i would like to do some 3d modeling if it's still on...

vladeemer,
I replied to your email from sorceforge a couple of days ago. Yes, the project is still alive but the latest versions are in sourceforge project airplanewar
It would be great if you can do some 3d modeling since it is where i need the most help

I've updated the project and downloaded DirectX9 SDK but I still can't find the DirectX Classes that are referenced.
Any ideas?

did you install the directx c# part? there is a separate download at microsoft specific to c#, maybe you need that one.
As for the trick with vs.net 2002 I don't know if that will give you trouble. What my friends usually do is just create a new project on 2002 and add all the .cs files and references to it. Remember to add the directx on the project references options.

Thanks for the links for Directx9 C#.
But it also appears that I need 1.1 .NET SDK which I can't install with .NET 2002 (I tried it).
Looks like I'll have to wait until the .NET 2003 upgrade arrives.
I'm pretty p!*&ed off though.
Essentially my company has bought a product for £1000.00 for which Microsoft has not offered any support for. You HAVE to purchase an upgrade.
Microsoft ! This is digraceful.

Maybe I have missed something up to this point. Could you share the DirectX9 C# links.
Thx,

As far as I know you don't need the 1.1 sdk, only the framework.
Download the 1.1 framework from http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com also update your directx managed code if you haven't.
Try recreating the project as I said before (new project, add files...) you do not need the 1.1 sdk for anything to compile it. (maybe to run my .exe you do, but if you compile it yourself, you won't)
If fact, you don't even need vs.net to compile the project. The framework includes the compiler and everything, vs.net is just the IDE.

I downloaded the c# Directx SDK but all it added was windows\microsoft.net\Managed Directx\v4.09.00.0900\ and somw xml files not code. Am I missing something?

Actually, you can install .NET 1.1 and the SDK. No, you can't use it from VS.NET but nothing is stopping you from using the ol' command-line utility or even making your own Makefile. Hell, I still do that for a lot of projects, especially in mixed languages (both managed and unmanaged).

btw, in vs.net
install directx managed code sdk from microsoft
open the project (or create it) and click project/add references
then select microsoft.directx.whatever is in the project
(directinput, direct3d, etc...)
compile
