Title: Pilot stats and a/c perf apps
Post by: Spatula 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:

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".

Anyone know if you can make Net framework 2.0 run on Windows 8.1 Pro ?

been trying to get Spatula's program to run on this OS, but everything is telling me that the Net 2.0 is obsolete....

edit: neverrmind I just boot up my Windows 7 partition....

also found the work-around to getting older versions of .NET 2.0 3.0 3.5 to work on windows 8

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/fsharp/using-fsharp-in-visual-studio/targeting-older-versions-of-net

for Windows 10 users: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/search/index?search=.NET+2.0+Framework+for+Windows+10

FWIW, TC: i can run it on my windows 10pro machine without issue. Have you tried running it under windows 7 compatibility mode?

I will do a new release with code upgraded to .NET 4.6.1 sometime soonish...

All good here, thanks

I can run it on my windows 7 ultimate install partition, I can't run it on my windows 10 Enterprise LTSB partition or my 8.1 Pro unless I decide to modify them, which I don't want to do at this time



Cheers
