Great day today Mr. McFate is now our new media officer! Congratulations Fate! youll do a great job!

CONGRATS [*M] McFate!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

For those who are friends with chucky (norries), I apologize. He made the decision, at his peril, to fly a bth game without a bomb. I felt it was my Misfit duty to protect other innocent blues from his tyrrany. I can't count the number of times he went down time after time after time after time after time....(you get the picture). I crashed so I could reload ammo and bomb and not give him satisfaction of shooting me while I headed back. I carried again until I saw he was without bomb. I gave him the option and told him I'll carry a bomb if he does. Well the second go around wasn't pretty for him, but you'll all be proud of me for the number of innocent blues lives I saved. Oh, and during the encounters, not one red was harmed...actually they never shot at me lol. Needless to say, my engaging him made a fair 2 on 2 game for the rest in game and we did take the win. Thanks to doom for letting me have at it.

WOOHOOOOOO!

Way to go Cannon Mike!

That's the way! That's great that no innocents were harmed. Amazing.

I often engage with red droppers and end up in single minded pursuit. It's funny how everything else can fall away and it seems like it's just hunter and prey. It's amazing how quickly so many of them leave.

Yea Doc!

Welcome to the squad brother [M] !

Master sword welcome to the [M]isfits
Boooorrrrraaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Congrats Doc!!

Well, after the first lesson, I chatted for a couple minutes in world chat...ghost, weatherman, rap were there. Then I decided to narrow the number of points needed for moraf. So, I just so happen to enter into a btc game and guess who was there, red. Yep, you're correct! Anyway, I noticed right off the bat he was near the carrier fighting another blue...reaper. Well, it was apparent he didn't have his bomb. So, when reaper didn't get him, I decided more blue lives were at stake. I dropped, engaged, and knocked down. But, I went further and told him, "same deal as before chuck, you carry and I'll carry." Well, you see his response. I did notice he carried as I made my last run. But, bed time came and I was unable to complete the task at hand. Oh, I thought it was 30k I needed. well, you can see the score...won't be long!!

Well guys, I guess I am done with this game till they fix it. My controllers will no longer work. I refuse to learn over with the key board... What a bummer.

I mean all the controls, speed, fire, everything, wth?

Congrats to the new [M]'S well done guys see ya in the skies....

Dang!

Sorry [m](-o-Jim-o-)

Don't give up! We've all been through it.

It is a fact! Dogfight is dysfunctional!

Have you checked out any of the "behind-the-scenes" of dogfight? Zuperman works on this game mostly alone . I think he said on a thread somewhere i.e. that this game is his baby. The problem is that it's really tough to make it work flawlessly . When an update is released it has to be approved by all of the different platforms: android, Apple, Amazon, Windows... they all release updates at different times. Apple is usually the slowest and sometimes can take weeks to approve an update. Platforms can have different problems with updates. If there is a problem with an update on one platform, zuperman may need to make a fix which cannot be issued until the previous update has been implemented on all platforms. It can really get fouled up for a while.

My favorite glitch was an update that messed up the physics. Planes were bounding around like they were attached to giant bungee cords! I hate the current glitch with the carriers. I cant wait until that's fixed.

I've had to take breaks from the game here and there. Sometimes I've used it as an opportunity to read a bunch of the old forum posts. I've found a lot of dogfight game "history". These problems have come and gone while the updates have continued. Some things that zup has tried have not worked but many more have become improvements which have developed gradually. It can seem to happen slowly but make no mistake, it does improve over the longrun.

Check out this old post from zuperman from 2 years ago. You can see some of the other ideas he has had which you don't see today. How would you like to have a WW2 p51?

Hi there!

Dogfight 4.0.7 was just released! Now I'm going to focus on Dogfight 4.1 to have it ready asap.
Based on the list of feedback and requests on the forums, I'll try to add most of the requests. Some may not be able to cut it for 4.1 since I prefer to make fast releases with additions instead of waiting for months to have the full set done and nobody see anything new meanwhile. This is what I'll be working on adding for 4.1.

- New planes. For sure 2 new planes: Nieuport XVII and hopefully the Albatros. Probably some additional 2 planes, depends on the amount of work and the $ that I'm able to pull together from 4.0.7 Write nice reviews for 4.0.7! It helps me get some $ for updates
- Probably 2 WWII planes for higher levels. The rockwell and a p51. They will be tuned down a notch, so that they can play at the same level than WWI planes.
- 2 new multiplayer missions. One will be a capture the flag type of game, where the flag is an airport which you will be able to use to take off from. The airport will most likely be on water area, it will be more fun that way for landing (yes, you will sink on water . A second mission will be a bomber mission. You will fly one big bomber that has 3 seats. So while one flies, the other two shoot.
Multiplayer missions are really really hard to get done right, Android users may be able to see them while beta status. I'll keep you posted.
- New terrains. I've been wanting to add them for a while, they are just tough to make and takes lot of memory on the devices.
- Detailed terrains. Working on it, trees, houses, etc...
- Walking soldier. The basic idea is that you should be able to walk around and jump into the bomber, a tank or your plane. You should be able to also shoot while walking.
- More languages support. Chinese & French seem the most likely next step, but write up requests for your language if you wish.
- Squadrons: You will be able to recruit or join squadrons and have your own stats. I'm still in thinking process about this and how they can be integrated with this website too.
- Improved stats. I already have all the info on the database but it's not displayed anywhere. Things like top 10 killers, top 10 hangar bombers, top achievements, etc...

... and remember, hit that App Store icon and write a nice review on the game The nicer reviews, the more people, the faster I can get through pushing better and cooler updates! Click those 5-stars away

What do you think? Any new additions that you'd love to see for 4.1?

Were the growing pains worth it?

Congratz, to McFate the great new officer. If we turn you loose on recruits, no one will get the Big M. Go easy McMeanie.

Played a game against chuck yesterday!with my 2nd account!! It was 6 vs 2 and i noticed he wasn't carrying a bomb..i asked him to carry because it was 6 vs 2 no response.so i keep playing figuring he's just going to drop anyway! i was fighting my way to their base and i notice that chuck is missing!! Really your going high on 6 vs 2 no response again!! So i drop shoot him down a couple of times and he leaves.

RAP, once again i wake up with you. I love waking up with you, having a nice cup of coffee, playing a nice game of dogfight, nice pleasant chat. Oh RAP.

SKYSTONE we did good, we chased away FURAX and we won a few games. Good job.

But really you guys are awesome! Thanks for taking me in! You're all a great squad, a great group of guys and gals, and really, the supportive group that you don't see in online gaming often. The level of maturity here is fantastic and it's great to be a part of it! Now for the next challenge, MORAF!!!! Happy hunting!!!

keep thouest fingers crossed that the forecasted 1-2 inches of snow will shut down Texas again tomorrow. If that happens, I suspect I will be at or really close to 375000.

Just received word that there's another update for Android!! Heading to the hanger for a test flight..

SNOW DAY!! We are bracing for a major winter storm tomorrow. Expectations are about an inch of snow. So, work has been cancelled...guess what I'll be doing.

1 inch? -30 here with the windchill... 2 to 3 inches of snow every other day!
Business as usual!!

Who am I to complain? Although, I much use to snow as I grew up in NH and Maine. Texans can't drive in the stuff.

I hear what your saying brother! There's a lot of people that live here in Minnesota that still can't drive in the snow..

Your "snowstorm" makes me giggle . 20 inches over the last two weeks alone. 3-5 inches are a normal day here. We got a snow day tomorrow though for the gowd awful cold and 30 mph winds drifting over country roads. so, hey, I'll see you tomorrow probably!

I live in Texas. Funny thing, I left the office early to get dinner for tonight and the store was packed...youd think it was the end of the world. Id hate to see what would happen if forecasts called for 3 or more inches of snow.
