Hello! We want to develop an 3d game with irrlicht, but we got a very big problem: we are advanced in Visual Basic, but not in C++. There are no tutorials for VB.NET except "Hello World" and we have no idea how to create anything in C++. It would be great if someone has a solution for our problem.

It's only a problem if you're in a hurry to get something done...It would be great if someone has a solution for our problem.
Well, yeah.It takes much time to learn a whole new language like C...
You're not going to get very far in Irrlicht (or C/C++/C#) game development otherwise. 
Perhaps this: http://www.truevision3d.com/home.php would be more suitable as it allows you to leverage your VB knowledge. Unfortunately, it's not free...
Cheers!

Yeah, about the best thing that you could hope to do would be to learn C or C++, as that's the language Irrlicht is originally designed for, as well as the fact that it will allow you to do cross-platform programs. If you really want to use VB.net to make a game, C++ really isn't so much different from VB that you cant at least make out what it's saying in the examples, especially with explanations given in the tutorials for what each part of the code does
