I'm not at all interested in supporting the xbox, and I hardly need anything labeled "express" from Microsoft.

Sweet, then you won't have to worry about the lack of multithreading. Although, I don't have an XBox 360 and I bought a wireless USB XBox 360 controller to use with a game I made on Windows. Using a joystick is pretty fun for omnidirectional navigation. Although, one could also use a mouse for the same type of navigation (I added support for joysticks and mice).

At one point, XNA would only work with the express editions of Visual Studio (i.e., didn't work with professional editions). That may have changed, but if you want to use XNA then you may in fact "need" an express edition. I'm not even sure if it will work with VB... might be C# only.

I've done some XNA stuff in VS2008 pro in the past, so if that was the case it's long since been seen to.

Yeah, I just opened Visual Studio 2008 Pro and XNA seems to work fine with it.

Talking? Sure, create a thread in the soapbox 
XNA will take away all the pain of managing sprites, leaving the communication among the players as your mayor challenge. There's the sweet-spot for this application; near realtime sharing of imformation. If you're on a 2D-map, then you'd only need everyone's positions (for the mini-map) and some information about your neighbours. Still, quite the challenge.

Preferable to XNA? I guess we'll see.

"With support for many libraries, including DirectX 9, DirectX 10, DirectX 11, DirectSound, XAudio2, and XInput, SlimDX is the most complete multimedia library for .NET you will find anywhere."
What version of DirectX does XNA target? 9, perhaps 10? It might outperform XNA, and it would be kinda cool to use DirectX directly, with a very thin wrapper

I have been a flight sim programmer for more years than I usually care to admit in public.
I have worked full flight simulators for twin turboprops to B747-400 and most anything in between.
I also wrote the flying lessons for Microsoft Flight Simulator 2002.
I'd love to work on your project.
Lets talk.

Dear all, I'm member of an academic spin-off. We are working on a new website which should improve the collaboration between coders. The project is non-commercial and the source code will be full open. The used language is PHP. We are planning a closed beta test with a couple of people. Therefore I want to ask you to help us with the beta test and provide your feedback and impressions.
The project is non-commercial without a big sponsor, so we can not paid for testing!!!. The platform later will be free-of-charge...so everybody can use it... We put a static page online (bettercodes.org) with an email registration. All interested coders are asked to register themselves and we will inform you via mail and send you an invitation when we are ready to test. THANKS A LOT!!!!!

I am looking for an experienced DirectX 10 programmer who could be able to create code for terrain, water and the sky.
A team of programmers have already built the foundation for the game as now we just need to start working with DirectX.

How much are you paying?

Can we see a more detailed specification of the requirements, and some of the code that has been produced so far, so we can get an idea of the amount of work involved?

Well, that varies to how good the work is?
My software programmer has all the code just now, but he is going to send me the project code through the week maybe Wednesday or Thursday, and as I currently know he has put a lot of code into the project at the moment.
