Hi
I'm still working on what will be included on Dogfight 2 but I've already have a bit of info.
For the game to work equally for everyone, meaning, everyone will see trees and most of the same components, the device has to support OpenGL 3.
Here is a list of OpenGL 3 supported devices:
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OpenGL_ES#OpenGL_ES_3.0_2

Anything higher than that, it will run it. (Galaxy Note 3 is listed there, which means Note 4, Note 5 and so on should run it too).

The Kindle HDX is not listed there, due to having a very old android version:
forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2564200
What it means is that Amazon needs to upgrade the internal Android version because the device is capable of running it. If they upgrade to Android 4.3 or higher, it will also run it.

Zup i have an LG G3, a phone very little people have (though it is an awesome phone and higly reccomend it). If you need a tester for G3, send me a message.

What about .xap ??

Not of my business, Zup...
But I fear this "improvement" is going to put more than half of the active players out of the game.
And look, I am not complaining, cuz actualy I have the Nexus 7 2013, the very first gadget on that list.
Just saying...

well, before making the decision I made some statistics, and less than 20% of existing players have a non-supported device. Also, this requirement is actually already enforced on Apple devices. If I submit any new game to Apple, I can't make it compatible for iPhone 4. It has to be for iPhone 5 at a minimum.

It's not such a crazy idea considering that OpenGL 3 has been out already for 3 years. A tablet or phone that is more than 3 years old, it's almost considered part of Jurassic park nowadays. I do have 4,5 and even 8 years old phones! but I don't use them for gaming any more.

In any case, this is exactly the main reason why Dogfight 2 won't be a Dogfight update but a completely separated game. Because if I push it as an update, I will force that 20% completely out. Having Dogfight 2, allows everyone to still play with Dogfight if they wish and get into Dogfight 2 whenever they get a faster device.

Hola zuper el galaxy s4 lo pilla?

You do make a good point. As Pedrihno said its none of my business but I feel I should raise this point. If only 20% play on older devices, a majority of them would be lower levels and probably not play that frequently. This means player numbers would drop on the first version. No one would be online, and people would stop playing.

On another note, will we be keeping the same forum for dogfight 2?

Oh, sorry, Zup.
I really didnt pay attention. I thought you were talking about an update.

Im on kindle hdx gues wont be playing df2 real bummer so sad

Is there going to be a new name for "Dogfight 2"? There is an older (defunct?) on-line game which already has this title.

Im on kindle hdx too, thats me done.

My HDX is only 1 year old and has had regular updates for the operating system so I'm not that out of date

I doubt the Kindle HDX will be obsolete. As I said, they just didn't release a OS update based on Android 4.3 or higher yet. Once they do it, it will run it no problem I assume.
Android 5 is already out, so I really doubt amazon will take more than a few weeks to release an update for their kindle.

I'm as you call "not gifted" in the electronics department, so is windows 8.1 supported? Intel HD-TruBrite, Toshiba Satellite?

I was considering an upgrade to the HDX...looks like I'll have to wait.

How about my Nokia Lumia 530

My kindle runs on 5,5,02 I think

I'm on a hdx kindle I'd be pretty upset that a brand new tablet that I morafed on wouldn't work for it....I mean I hope amazon does or I'll start sending emails now lol

Hope your right about that 20%..I have kindle fire HDX got a feeling it's way more than that, I guess I'll have to hope ur right about amazon acting on it....

I have the new kindle HD I hope that's good enough

Zup I have surface if you need testers for surface I'm your guy pm me if you do

Oh boy oh boy oh boy!!!!

_Dogfight TWO !!

I can't wait.

Will my device be supported?

So... Windows 8.1 And Windows Phone 8.1 are capable?

What about my Nokia Lumia 520?
