Hi there,

I've been internally debating about this for a while but now I have no choice. Apple dropped support for all older devices so any new games that come out won't be able to run on ARMv6 devices.
What this means is that you will need minimum an iphone 3gs or similar specs to be able to run the next releases of Dogfight.

The easiest way to find out if your device is higher than ARMv6, is if you are able to run iOS 4.3+ so for clarity a table:

ARMv7s = iPhone 5
ARMv7 = iPhone 3GS, iPhone 4, iPhone 4S, iPod 3G/4G/5G, iPad, iPad 2, iPad 3
ARMv6 = iPhone 2G/3G, iPod 1G/2G

This change will also affect all Android devices since I can't keep up 2 separate line of code and Android is also debating about this change.
Basically devices over 3 to 4 years old or new but "low end" devices won't be able to run Dogfight.

On the positive side, this gives me more room to add new features that requires more powerful chips.
