Pilot stats and a/c perf apps
« on: August 08, 2017, 11:46:09 PM »
Greetings all. My two applications (pilot stats, and aircraft performance) i wrote a long while ago have been turned over to public domain and the source and their currernt versions (releases) are now in github. They are all in C# .NET 2.0 or maybe 3? cant recall now...

https://github.com/petegee/AHPilotStats
https://github.com/petegee/AHPerformanceComparison

current releases:
https://github.com/petegee/AHPilotStats/releases
https://github.com/petegee/AHPerformanceComparison/releases

I have licensed them with a Unilicence https://choosealicense.com/licenses/unlicense/ and are therefore fully free for any purposed without any restriction and without any warranty.

Maybe someone wants to take them over and update them? Fork it, send me a pull-request?

<S> scan the skies ;)

Always loved your program, Spatula.  Seeing the stats inspired me to fly other planes and eventually led to my current quest: 1000 kills in as many planes as I can get - until AH or I am dead.
One problem is that at one point, HTC changed the  name of the Ki-61 to Ki-61 tei in the stats.  Your program sees them as separate planes.  I reached the 1000 kill mark in the plane some time ago, but it doesn't show up as such, triggering an OCD episode.  Is there any way you or some other programming genius can tweak the program so they compile under one listing?





The Sea Hurricane and Sherman VC are also in the same predicament:


"Then out spake brave Horatius, the Captain of the gate:
 To every man upon this earth, death cometh soon or late.
 And how can man die better, than facing fearful odds.
 For the ashes of his fathers and the temples of his Gods."

Hi Caldera - yes, its all very fixable. Its more a feature of the current design - it was designed to adapt to new planes/vehicles are they came out. It simply sees them as two different vehicles. There would have to be some sort of aliasing added to tell it that Ki-61 is really the same as Ki-61 tei etc.

Cant promise ill do anything about it anytime soon. Part of the reason for handing it over to public domain was to allow others to run with it and add features etc. So lets see what happens...

Non-tech qualified person needs some help...


I downloaded the ZIP file but don't see an executable file.  How do I install the program and use it?

I noticed the same. IIRC it didn't need to be installed, just unzipped to a desired location. I found an earlier download in my computer and the contents looks totally different. In the "old" version (same version number) there's a .exe file to run the program, in the current downloads I couldn't find one.

Thanks, Spatula!

I withdraw my comment about it being a standalone program. There's a "setup.exe".
