Hi everyone,

I know many people are having trouble playing the current version of Dogfight, and I can't release an update due to app store policies. So, I'm planning to release a trimmed down version of Dogfight Elite on January 1st, 2016 to solve all those issues. That first release won't have the full game (I expect it to be released during the month, probably at the end of January). But I want it to fix most if not all current issues on Dogfight.

So again here it goes, can you let me know things that are failing on the current version so I can fix them for January 1st release? Example:
- Able to shoot from inside the building at the end of the bridge.
- Flags stuck inside buildings.

Overloading a plane with bullets after the pilot is in chute kills the man in chute

Dead center tank shots that even explode on the plane don't take down the plane whereas shooting slightly over it does kill them

After landing in chute anyone including yourself hits your plane wreckage or rolling around chute with tank shot or bomb you die no matter the proximity to the wreckage or chute.

Tanks get stuck in the 3D mesh where it is not flat so the apex or valley of 2 land sections can 'grab' your tank making hard if not impossible to move.

Some tanks can spawn inside enemy territory even right at base.

Some players go invisible

On Capture the flag, the flag is not shown by the person carrying it, like it doesn't show the streaming tail occasionally.

On Capture the flag sometimes the flag once removed from the base and dropped it becomes impossible for anyone red or blue to grab it

Whip covered most of it.
There's bombing tanks and they keep going..
Shooting a tank and it takes another ten seconds to die .
Jumping from a plane the plane crashes the chute but the plane keeps flying.
This android HTC shooting from the chute the target spot moves up and right when shooting.
And I have seen some.mole tanks and planes here and there.

Just a question that a few of us would like to ask .Will this game continue to run .and will you be fixing any problems here once Df 2 is out .

and will there be clear cut rules for Df 2 .

1 if you in the tank and the chute or the plane are in front of the tank and you shoot said chute or plane it kills you since when has shooting a silk chute ever blown a tank up .

2 hitting the chute in tank you get a direct hit the guy in the chute spins after the hit and he still survives and sometimes flying into the chute the guy in chute survives but the plane goes down
3 just recently there seems to be a lot of LAG and invisible planes i cannot see the planes but if another guy shoots the plane the chute appears i can see said chute and if he tanks ii can see the tank but planes are invisible (this isn't just me i talked to many players they get this too)
4 the guy in the chute on some devices the aim is so easy on others its not so easy i have both android and apple the ipad i can close my eyes and still bring down a chute in the chute on android i have to be very lucky
5 the pilot in the plane looks constipated and has a big frown can you put a smile on his face

2016 or 2017?

I think it's typing error, but matter us a lot. Is it 2016 or 2017?

- when 2 planes crash into eachother many times only 1 plane dies and the other is still flying.

- constantly having to recalibrate. This used to only happen after you did an update but for at least the past month i find myself having to recalibrate a few times a day.

- after i kill a plane, many times i dont see the other player in his chute until much later. A major lag between the time he actually chutes and until i finally see the player in the chute.

- tank glitch in btb and btc

- option to chute on the carrier in ctc should be removed. If a player takes the soldier, the soldier is invisible.

- i agree with what the guys said above. The plane, chute and tank should not be connected to eachother. One should only be able to kill a player where the actual soldier is and not by shooting or bombing at an empty plane or chute.

- tanks that dont flip so easy and that do not roll foward or backwards when stopped. The tank only stays in place now when stopped and in the aim view. If you stop the tank in the view where you are capable of moving, it will roll.

- reload times can vary greatly. Sometimes i am done reloading in 5 seconds and other times in 30 seconds.

- lag shots messing up windshield when spawning.

- when a game ends and i select quit my screen freezing more than half of the times then i have to shutdown DF and start it up again. I always wonder if the stats from the game register to my account.

- after being killed sometimes i cant respawn. I freeze and cant select any option except to quit the game. Usually happens if i press the menu icon at the time of death

- i dont like having to press the map to fire when i am a soldier on my android tablet. Please include a fire button to the left or right. Preferably to the right and make the control on the left just like it is when the soldier is in the chute.

Most of the glitches and issues have already been mentioned here, but I wonder if you Zup understand what was said. Is there a way you can actually speak with some of us about these things? Skype? FaceTime? Or maybe PM conversations? Most of these game issues are very specific and hard to describe in a forum setting. I know several here would be willing to help.

JANUARY 1 2017 ? Hope a Typo

Zup most of us use zello can you set a a channel so we could actually talk with you.Maybe set up a time of a half hour a week maybe .for one it would be cool to hear your voice and we could get our points across much easier

Tank glitch in bombing missions (player can tank or soldier on carrier AND is invisible.. also can land then tank on enemy airbase, [although not invisible] This happens primarily at the german airbase, but I have seen both)

In capture the flag missions when the tank has flag you nobody can see it.

btw, some platforms (very few) can actually enter the buildings and regain flag.



Personally I love Dogfight and am hoping it won't go the way of the dinosaur, 8-track tape, & cassette etc. once Dogfight Elite comes out...

I am who to fly underwater at the moment which isn't good!!
Get frequently kicked despite good speed on fibre broadband and 3G
Unable to post pictures onto the site from the app or web using iPhone (the first two are more important though!)

Is DF elite out in 2016 or 2017??I hope it was a typo!

Good luck with it all.

Most have been said above, but I will add that sometimes in a carrier its light and sometime pitch dark.

I think I can answer this one Rabbit as Zup has stated before yes dogfight will continue to run once df2 comes out, as for your other question that's been talked about several time's is will we see a fix or update for this game? and the answer is no you will not see any fixes for this game. If Zup was able to do an update like he said before some older devices wouldn't be able to handle the new update completely throwing players out of the game never to play again on that older device forcing that player to purchase a newer device just to play dogfight.

The question I have is and please correct me if I'm wrong is this, I remember Zup saying tablet users would be separated from the pc players when dogfight 2 comes out? Is this true? If so I won't be purchasing df2 because if that's the way it's going to be then I'd rather stay here were I can fly with all of my squad members and not just the tablet players from our squad and other squads if I purchased df2. If this is true I see squads splitting up separating the tablet and pc players which none of us want.

THE APP IS CRASHING WHEN I TRY TO FLY i dont know if it is on my side or is the game but i can hardly fly, when im not kicked out of the app im invisible

It would be GREAT to see the lag warning back... but just not across the whole screen...

That would solve a lot of in game questions about it...


and... could we do away with the squad size limits... It would be nice to be able to chat with our whole squad...

I have to agree with Nebular if it is possible without an update would it be possible to set the squad limits back to what they used to be? I believe the only reason for doing it was in preparation for squad wars.

could we do away with the squad size limits... It would be nice to be able to chat with our whole squad...

What Nebular said. Would be nice to be one large squad again.

Will our ranks, world ranking, planes, log in info, squads ect be the same on df elite? Personally, I'm not to keen on starting ALL OVER

Don't forget the game crashes. I don't even play on my ipad. I play on my Samsung s6 now so I don't have to deal with crashes. If u could also just give apple a nice slap for me for being so dam hard to work with, that would be great too. Lol

I am not sure if there is a setting to control the in plane text/chat font size. I no there is a button bottom left of cockpit that disables in flight messaging. It would be nice if the plane chat did not fill the whole left side of screen. Its a lot of fun to banter back and forth while flying but the letters are far to big. Also I am new so maybe there is a settings control that I am not aware of.

Posting screenshots from my iPad 3. Have to change them to .jpeg to post them.
Default won't work.(.PNG nowadays)

From iPhone 5s it won't work at all.
Wouldn't it be nice to automatically change a youtube link so that anyone, where ever they are can open them (except for copyright limitations).
From the german internet is loads as a http//www.youtu.be/watch?v=......... , but it seems if it would automatically change to http//www.youtube.com/watch?v=........ it would be more accessable.

The Attachments box on the forum, or the Add File button doesn't seem to work properly. You have to hit it a number of times untill the Photo Library/Take photo or video link shows.

My world ranking seems to be stuck around 230. Now thát would be most important fix.

Something was just brought to my attention. Apparently it takes only one shot to kill a pilot in the chute with a direct hit at the pilot's body. It has always taken me two shots to get that kill.

I am using an android tablet if you need that info.

Cypher, this is not the right thread for your question, so I will PM you.

Interesting point!

I'd like to pick which type of game I'd like to go in. Let the droppers play free for all, and us strategy and team players play in the hangers and ship games.

Also, lets add a second runway for the hangers game. Make it 16 hangers in total.

Also, lets increase the teams to ten each.

I second that. Would love to see an option to pick the type of game. Zup,as most of us know lag can't be completely solved. So keeping the lag issue aside, I guess at least we deserve to pick the game we want.

But will the new game allow all players the same turn rate?Its not pleasant trying to play a windows player who gets instant full turn when we have to tilt or use a joystick which progresses up to full turn,allowing the Windows player to win every time!It would be nice for this to be addressed and us all play together.

I have to agree completely with both of these gentlemen.
