Man I can not wait to show this to my my wife and daughters! So glad you were able to post the photos, and I really do hope this has brought joy to you and your family!

One more thing to make this game, that much cooler! (To all! Stick it out! Don't let the updates drag you down!) if you read that part, then I am willing to bet this game is more then a bunch of flying around shooting down planes to you!!

Thanks brian,spent all day on photobucket but that did not work,so I thought I would try once more and it worked,hope you like them.

Just played a game with someone called ALL IN,

he was totally overwhelmed, kept getting shot down, kept getting up, kept trying. NEVER COMPLAINED NOR CRIED.

I LIKE THIS GUY

Gentlemen, I may be a little inactive for a while.....the river Thames @ Staines-upon-Thames continues to rise, homes nearest the river are already flooded and this morning (even though its flooded before and I thought.....meh) I saw a notice on the front door of my apartment block saying if it continues we may be evacuated to a safer location on higher ground (so I might lose my wifi....battery die etc) to be honest I don't think its gonna get to that stage but I bet people have said that before and then....oops. anyway keep up the good fight all, now to try to get the bus to work......if its not flooded on the way there!

(Took the pic yesterday pm - the river continues to rise!)

can you ask to Zup why are not more out congratulations when one takes the higher grade?
It also blocks the score, and you have to get out of the server otherwise the points do not go up.
I've heard that has happened to others. I did not want to open a thread for this.
Thanks Boss.

Hi Paolo,

That seems to have something to do with the way points are tallied. Many of us have experienced the same thing. I remember advancing in rank/level several times when the point total froze at the target amount...even if I was still scoring and the mission was still underway. Only when the mission ended did the point total catch up and the congratulations announcement appear. I haven't seen one of those "Player X has been promoted" announcements in months. I'll ask Z, perhaps he deactivated them.

M.O.Ms, in case you weren't aware: a new update for Android just dropped. Among a few other fixes you can now access a slide control to adjust the size of in-game name tag fonts. You'll find it in Graphics on your main menu screen. I was unaware of it, myself, until I pestered Joaquin to fix the ginormous fonts and he informed me that the update was out...and, I found, had already auto-updated on my thingy.

I just played a game with GISMO. Sergeant furax was a red, he kept dropping and dogfighting, his stat were extremely good, to good to be true.

GISMO keep calling him a cheater, I was calling him a coward and creep i never thought he was a cheater until near the end of the game, I was shot down really high, I had a good view of him from the chute. His plane kept jumping about 1/4 inch on the screen.

I didn't see his plane jumping like that in the game until I was in the chute looking down where it was really visible

I now agree with GISMO, I think he is a cheat.

I insulted him and glad i did, he spawned into the next game as a blue and I said I will not play on the same team as a coward and a cheater, I left and so did everyone else.

Max, what ever happened to that spawn killers list you started? Can you bump it to the front I'd like to take a look at again thnx, madtothemom good luck I hope all ends well for you and yours. Stay dry.

I was playing against Furax a few hours ago and he wasn't lagging much but he kept leaving the game over and over when he got into a chase.
It was me and some low ranks on my team. He easily took out my teammates but left the game as soon as he faced resistance.
Asked if the lag switch was malfunctioning but he didn't answer.

I never thought I would call someone a cheat,but there was me davy cricket and others nobody can avoid that many bulits without getting hit,I had him in the centre of my sights more than once and not one hit,i don't care if he wants to drop thats up to him but this is something else,never been so mad in a game.

HI BELL, how are u, i could not see him lag either until I was really high and floating down and then you could easily see him.

I've posted a few times here and elsewhere about Sergent Furax and his lagtastic no-hit no-dead "skills". I even banned him for it once. He absolutely is a lag manipulating cheat, there's zero doubt in my mind.

I think his lag device was out of tune when he played with me. I didn't see him lag, and hi did die
After e few death he began to quit the game and then re join shortly after. My guess is that his device made him loose his conection when he tried to start lagging. Why would he leav as soon as I started to chase him time and time again, if it was the game who made him loose con?
Maybe he got it tuned in time for you DC.

Best Good Buddy Ever!

Hi Rick,
Just got a bloody nose from playing againt Sergent Furax! He totally 'murdalized' us...but didn't see him lagg at all.

He is just incredibly fast in swirving about, and none of is stood a chance. Could it be that he has a much faster internet connection, or something like that?
Even in tight curves, much faster than I was.....
But what was clear is that he has no interest in reaching his goal, just intercepts in the middle of the field for high scores.
Never seen him carry a bomb!
Never flies head-on, only swirving to get you in a curve.....(well, it workes for him!)
Compimented him on his flying,

Well, just a thought.

I was in this game too, didn't see him lag at all, dropped his bomb at takeoff but had the decentsy to stay mid field and not come near our base, I've only just come to forum now and seen all these posts about him so at the time I was playing I didn't have a clue who he was, but to be perfectly honest I don't have anything against him (apart from the irritating bomb dropping, but thats not exactly new) he held a friendly convo and in his defence he was outnumbered for a majority of the game.

I'm not by any means saying I don't believe what you guys are saying, just putting in my 2cents worth

Should of just stayed in bed. WOW what a day.....



I hope you all are having a better one then I......

I felt the same way you guys did until I was shot down really high up and then I saw it, he was fast and skipping just a tiny bit, try going high and look at him. It's easy to see in a chute way up there.

And he did not go near base so that was good. But on a bomb base mission you have to drop your bomb to fight him. WHAT GOOD DOES THAT DO.

None of us could touch him and the only time i hit him twice he kept going. HE IS UNNATUALLY FAST.

I would like to see what he does carrying a bomb.

Furax never carries. I'm astonished that he wasn't base camping, it's almost all he ever does. Zig-zag his way to the base, bombless, then camp and exploit that unnatural speed you mentioned.

Please keep in mind, lag takes several different forms. A player can be lagging his fool head off but not appear jittery, not vanish and reappear, not exhibit any of the obvious, tell-tale signs of lag. Furax and his ilk clearly have a tech advantage of some sort, in a game like Dogfight there's only so much room for differing skill levels. Think about it; you can only aim so accurately, you can only turn so fast, there are only so many moves you can perform and tactics you can implement. It's a comparatively simple, unsophisticated game. At a certain level the playing field, skill wise, is sufficiently even that the differences in device, connection speed and "x factor" become obvious. My hand/eye coordination, vision, aiming accuracy are every bit as good as those of a 13 year old kid called TheDarkmist262...so whatever it is that makes him able to drop me at will repeatedly, it clearly has to do with his having a larger display, a faster processor, a faster, more stable WiFi connection. I use him as an example because he freely admitted to his tech edge. Combine all that with the subtle no-hit form of otherwise undetectable lag and you have your Sergent Furax's and Dragon Rojo's...and some veteran players who also benefit from subtle tech advantages. The stripped down fact of the matter in Dogfight is that a simple command is sent from my device, through the server, to your device. On my end it's "bullet fired"...on your end it's either "hit" or "miss". If either of us are lagging or out of sync (as we see with Windows 8 users) what should be a hit will appear to be a miss because it isn't registering at the receiving device's end. Throw overtaxed server lag and glitchiness into the mix and you can account for 100% of the game's screwy behavior.

Is a Sergent Furax the most gifted player of Dogfight in the game's history? Not when any number of us have had the experience of pushing dozens of rounds into him without result, and not when Davy's bird's eye view reveals the lag I've always known is there but that is almost always undetectable to the naked eye. Nobody, not any of the best players of this game, not Brian Strachan or M4rtin or Davy or 1001 or BluE MaX or The Vampire, none of them roll up impressive kill scores and zero deads in mission after mission after mission. It's that zero, more than anything else, that points to something other than pure skill. Dogfight just doesn't work that way, unless there's something else at work.

Dunno much....

What I did notice is that when I was in s steep turning dice with him, I saw him pass UNDER me, shooting and still manage to hit me.
I am almost certain he never could have hit me then, unless he was shooting straight up from his cockpit with a handgun.....

An option which luckily is not available in this update.

Still mighty crafty how he did it.

Only time i ever hit him when he was fixed on somone else....2 hits, no smoke.

Yep and he has a attitude problem towards MoMs in general....







I think he wants a fight

Hello boys. Been a few days. Waiting on the game to be fixed. A bit disheartened after the upteenth bad update. So much so that I laid it down for a while. Has me on a DF leave of absence. If the next update is better I will play again. Until then I'm on vacation. If the next one is worse than this one I'm going to continue my vacation.

Sargent Farux. Mad dropper. Mad camper. Doesn't really try to win the game. Just kills everyone. I've had 2 opportunities to play him. The last encounter he never got a kill. When I entered the game he had a pretty fantastic K/D. I was really more wanting to gauge his lag. Somewhere between the Satche and zero. Hits register fast and kills. Hard to catch on to though. I've heard of the ability to "root" a device to speed it up. Possible he has a tricked out device. All I know is he went from being a middle of the road, mediocre player to being a very deadly individual. K/D ratios like that are hard to come by. Raises an eyebrow or 2. What can you do though? Plenty of laggers here now. Nothing being done about them either. The Stache has had a longer run in DF than I have. He is still here. Why not Faruax?
