Looks nice, but unfortunately I can't try it.

When I start it, nothing happens, but it's consuming 100% all the time until I kill it. I also tried in a virtual machine, but it doesn't work there either :(

I am using Windows XP SP3.

Exactly the same thing for me. The program remains active, but nothing happens on the screen. Must I unzip IrrlichtWrapper.zip ( http://www.freebasic.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=3584 ), and where ? or something else ?

i have uploaded a zip file with microsoft C runtime dlls (msvcr71.dll, msvcp71.dll ) included in the main folder.

if it still doesnt work,try to remove the pacific_chung.ini file (rename it), it will create a new one with lower number of objects (trees,houses,...) so lower ressources needed.

Sorry, I have downloaded the last version and unzipped it in C:\pacific_chung, idem, I have renamed pacific_chung.ini, it suggests to create a new one, I agree, and idem: the program remains active (in Windows Task Manager), but nothing appears on screen (Windows Vista, RAM 4G).

I must miss something enormous, but I don't know what...

did you succed in running the examples programs of the official irrlichtwrapper.zip package ? or it does nothing too ?

you can try to run my program flightGL_chung (openGL in Liberty Basic), if it doesnt work too, it may be a openGL graphical card problem...
you can find it there => https://sourceforge.net/projects/flightglchung/

Yes, it must be that, an OpenGL problem, because your flightGL_chung produces the same result, remaining in memory with no effect on screen.
I continue to see that, but don't worry for me, if only me have a problem.

I have the same problem, and I also followed the advice.

Plus, the problem also occurs an a virtual machine with a newly installed WinXP SP3.

Glad (?) to see I am not alone...
Which extra dll's are necessary, and where ? I think I am missing one or more.

Runs fine on my machine (Vista), nice work.

what about updating your video drivers ?

nb : try setting video res to 32 bits

JL35 · Post by **JL35** » Jul 08, 2010 12:45

Nothing... I have updated my video driver (Nvidia GeForce 7050) with no result. Sorry, I abandon for the moment.

I can't fly without an joystick or gamepad but it works here.

WINXP 32 bit SP3
NVIDIA GT240

It would be a good idea if you have ini file for user defined keys
if a user will use only the mouse and keyboard
and for example on QWERTZ keyboards Y and Z are swapped

Why to hell do you use the forrest sound sample on the chip ?

Is it your chip.obj 3D model ?

my keyboard is azerty (french) but i try not to use it because it is a thin and fragile one.
i recommand you to use a usb gamepad with double joysticks, it is not expensive (10 euros).
anyway i have added a change keyboard function (ctrl+K) to change from AZERTYQW to QWERTYAZ etc...

the ships models are free downloaded on the web.i just had to edit the carrier with Blender because it rendered bad.

(11/07/2010) ocean sound added
(14/07/2010) 2 shipcruises added

(18/07/2010) give orders to other planes added

now you can give orders to other planes (click right mouse) to fly in formation or participate combat :

fly in formation
attack my target
cover me
break formation
