Not for me, after closing the forum window from full size, the 1/2 dogfight screen (creamy coloured skies) has no drag handle. The only drags that work are close it by dragging down, and drag from the left cycles through all the open windows, including the 1/2 dogfight screen.

I see one other has reported similar issue, any one else? On what device?

Yeah because you've closed the app it won't notify the game that it needs to resize, so all you have to do is drag the game window to a side and then drag it back to full screen. (just press the mouse and drag the window left, drop it... then drag it back to full screen)

I can't drag it OUT left right or up, with either finger or mouse. Only swipe it down to close entirely. And if you drag IN from the left to cycle through the windows, every time the dogfight window appears its the 1/2screen one.
This morning it seems to be slightly different. Windows! When you close the forum it goes back to the metro tile screen as you might expect. Drag in from the left to cycle through the open apps, or tap the dogfight tile, and you get the dogfight 1/2 screen again. Only way out is downswipe to close and click the dogfight tile to start again.
Don't waste a lot of time on this, its minor and it may well be a metro tile bug anyway. Just thought you should know about it. Thanks for your replies.
(If I could find where to do it, I'd turn off the "default to split screen" you get when one app opens another, its not useful. On my hybrid/tablet its too small, you can't read it, so have to drag the new app to full size anyway.)

OK having some niggles with android.
When I press multiplayer I sometimes get to this screen.I can not edit or see my name.I can not view pilots or squads.

Other times when I press multiplayer it goes straight to the server page.On here I have no squad chat as it says I don't belong to a squad.

When I proceed to enter a server I get to the hangar,again it shows no name or sqaud. I can not buy paint jobs or upgrades.

Zup, felt I should mention something. I figured it was just a temporary glitch, but was reminded today that people see things and don't report them to me, until I find out when it becomes a bigger problem. Haven't seen it since or heard anybody else have the same thing happen, so there's that.

Spawned into a ctf game and aside from the runway, buildings and flag, everything was sky blue. Could see the clouds, but there were also dark, whispy clouds moving very fast from east to west. Spun up my prop and crashed as soon as I got past the runway.

Again, it's probably nothing and gave me a bit of a chuckle, but thought you should know.

Ah hah!
Found some ones workaround to avoid the metro split screen feature.
It solves the dogfight apps/ dogfight forum issue.

"my current work-around for this annoying issue
go to control panel
go to internet options
go to programs tab
under opening internet explorer choose 'always in ie on the desktop'
keep ie full screen on the desktop but minimized to the task bar when not in use
then clicking a link in metro windows mail will open that link full screen in ie on the desktop. "

Other windows 8.1 users might want to try it.

Not sure if this is a glitch or part of a new update I installed yesterday but last night in a BTB mission I was able to soldier and tank after I parachuted into enemy territory.

Hi Zuperman, could you please insert a bar on screen to allow us adjusting sensitivity during the game?

Thank you

Well Zup. Been 3 weeks and no response to my concerns. The update, contrary to your assertions that the new update fixed all issues
Is not true. Took my subscriber money and the renewal money and I still get the subscribe button and wait times. What a farce! Not a good way to run a business. Like the game but seems like you are just pocketing the extra money, what gives! Guess your just another flake. Get off the pot or shit, as the saying goes.

Is this thread still open for posting anything that is constructive?


Ok....screen freeze.....6 or more seconds of nothing on your iPad......mentioned elswhere.

Was on the world chat, and noticed that the blue names on reddish brown background is hard to read sometimes. Especially in sunny conditions or shiny screens.

In game chat is very big, blocking a quarter of the screen. Would love to see that adjustable like the banner sizes.

O yes...when I push "Quit".......it kicks me out of the app altogether, not just out of that game.

Rudolf, the quit bug is on android or ipad?

I have noticed the quit. Bug thing from time to time. No regularity, just seems to happen at random for me. Ipad2 latest apple OS, dogfight 4.4.85, whatever the current version is.

Yup,...iPad 2

Yeah, echoing Rudolf, the ability to squash up the in game chat would be nice.
Don't want to turn it off, but its a distraction in a dogfight. On a cellphone its probably right, but on a tablet size screen its all bigger than it needs to be, so different devices would have different optimum sizes

To keep it simple the same slide could adjust in game names and in game chat.

Every time.....well almost every time I'm in a tank and am shooting an incoming plane I see a big explosion and yet he continues to fly as if I shot him with a bb gun. This happens every game I play in and drives me nuts. Sometimes they are so close it would be physically impossible to miss them, but somehow I always do.

Zup I'm flying on an Ipad and after every game I need to change my settings for the graphics to make the in-game names smaller.

I hate going into a group of reds only to see a bunch of red letters and no idea where to shoot, so I like to make the names smaller, but why do I need to change this setting after EVERY game?

Also, how come when two planes crash, it seems like only one plane actually crashes, and the other keeps flying?

Dear Zup,

I have upgraded new upgrades before 4 days,
screen shows a green bar of @70 % downloading completion, no optimisation and game was not running.

I am playing on Samsung Tab SM T 211.

miss my df and sky

Sorry if this has been posted before.....
Players with single letters,dots,loads of spaces etc in their names.
I would like to see a minimum of 3 letters (like initials for example)
And only 1 gap allowed in a name!

On win 8.1, press squadron, my squad list comes up on left. Search other squads, they come up but most will not list when the "I" or any part of the row is pressed. My squad list stays on left. Makes it impossible to see their pilot list or request to join. Lafayette Escadrille, Raging Broncos to name just 2.

CTF mission. I returned to base with the enemy flag on the back of a tank. Once I got to the runway it seemed impossible to get on the runway. After a little trying I was able to but as soon as I did I respwned as a plane????? Also for no reason a few times I have been shot, in a CTF mission also, and lost connection. That does not happen in any other game.

Galaxy tab 2 7.0

No issues to report

Already fixed for next update
--
- On Apple IPad2, BOMB the carrier games. Can't reload on carriers. They are white not blue and red. -- From Vonhulk (this is fixed on 4.4.84 already)
- For the kindle fire during ctc games, if a red lands in a blue carrier, he can't be killed with brakes on...however, I can when my brakes are on.
- Using iPhone 4, my sound comes out of the receiver now, the little holes or I would hear a phone call, instead of the speakers (From Ghostrider)
- Bluetooth headsets stop working on Dogfight. (someone reported it, I can't remember who)
- Capture the flag has a small change, you can parachute anywhere and it will allow you to pick up a tank. It should make for more fun fighting since you can pick up the flag with the tank or as a soldier, many don't know it.
- Zep not bombing all hangars. This is fixed already.
- Timing is off switching from daytime to night time among players (from TBuilt)
- Added to the achievement button a prize for certain achievements. It will also alert you when you have achieved a new one. I'll keep adding new achievements with time.
- Fixed able to reload on enemy carriers during ctc and btc missions. (who reported it? I can't find the post)
- On iOS and Android you can watch a video ad to reduce the waiting time on the queue. It will reduce about 2 minutes of waiting per ad... or just subscribe and never wait plus you will also be able to pick the zone in world map.
- Fixed flag not dropping when you press the drop flag button.
- Fixed the flag not falling down (staying floating on mid air) when dropping the flag.
- Fixed flag mission where tanks were not allowed. Now you can pick up the flag on tank/soldier too.
- Fixed flag mission not displaying the entry message of the mission: "Capture the flag".

Zup.. I'm on windos 8.1 version. pc Lap top player. Haven't had too many issues that sent me running to support. But I do notice that u were working on servers the other day.. rebooted so we can play on elder & newer servers, idk, sumthing lke that ? & now on April 1rst I had to reinstall due to overly loss of *connection* & tab selection of sever disappearances ? frustrating seemingly that i'm a sufferer of PTSD (post traumatic stress disorder). Can u fix this, or is it just me ?

I am playing on windows 8 phone. Everything works good excel a couple of things minor. Irecently it starting to freeze and kick me off mid game. And from the beginning I can't add people from facebook. Anytime I hit the icon it turns brown and wont do anything.

is it possible to get the option to turn off the rain sound? i usually only keep the gun sound on so i can hear when enemies are near me. it seems the gun sound and rain sound are linked and the rain sound is very loud.

thanks

Hey Zup, I have recently been playing on an iPad mini gen 1. I have noticed that the game freezes for about 10 seconds about 2 minutes apart. Some times the fire button don't want to work as well.

I find lately when I crash into someone with my plane or chute I crash while the other player keeps flying as if there was no mid air collision whatsoever . This is increasingly annoying when im on the defense and when we crash I get put on the runway and the other guy is flying in guns blazing.

zup when I crash sometimes it glitches me out and wont let me move or spawn in tank or plane

Same with me. I am on PC with Windows 8.1 operating system.

It's my understanding that it's all about who runs in to whom. The chrasher crashes, the person that was crashed into ( the crashee) does not.
