No real instructions. A lot of answers and tips on board. Go thru the offline missions first. Learn the setups controls (calibrate) and preferences. Not hard! Part of the game is learning. Have fun!

Thank you Kevy.

Your welcome! Don't forget this topic there are a lot of people that will help you here.

Read the forum for tips, do at least the first offline mission, and practice. Everyone SUCKS when they start, but eventually u figure it out. Ur rightthat the controls are hard.to manage, but they get easier with time. Wlcone to Dogfight!

message says I have paid for the upgrade, but the upgrade has not downloaded.

When you open up the game is there an upgrade sign over the plane? If there isn't your already upgraded to full version. If not hit it and you should be. If you have Appel you won't be charged again even tho they say your purchasing. I'm not sure of android.

Kevy, when I boot the game up, I don't have the option to upgrade, now it simply shows the Practice option.

Then your running the full version. You can now upgrade your planes with points you earn/buy. Welcome!

you dont automatically get planes, it just lets you use them if u buy them. from my memory, it doesnt download anything. it just happens.

Have a similar problem...bought upgraded planes on each team. Got to use them ONCE, then later when I select multiplayer game I have no link to select the new plane...it just says the plane is in the hangar. So, I don't get to use the plane I paid to use. If this is how the game works I am outta here...

How do you control the rudder?

The buildings are unbombable. You must bomb the white hangars

You won't be able to climb very quickly in the multiplayer games until you've dropped the bomb

BTC, you have to pay $5 for an upgrade to use the planes. not that much if u think about it. u cant see a movie for that price.

Brown Barron, its motion control... just tilt the phone to steer.

I get that it's motion control but that means you you are restricted to banking and elevation control ... but not Yaw.

The rudder and ailerons are coupled - the A/C have such short wings that yaw is not an issue - sometimes I would like to have a rudder to 'walk the nose' horizontally across a target, but with practice one can get there by micro tilts. The turning can be done by tilting the phone/tablet down/up re the longitudinal axis between your hands and also just rotating the tablet. I find that a combination of both increases the turn rate.

For me the flight characteristics are not unlike flying a glider in real-life. Stalls are not a part of the flight envelope however, you can turn and roll and climb and with impunity. The plane does simulate a high descent rate if you just kill the throttle, tough to do an actual flare using just speed control with elevator action - the WW1 A/C were high drag so I have no idea how easy a dead stick landing would be. The throttle on most were blip buttons that the engine was on full bore or off - great gyroscopic issues (rudder needed) to keep it straight as the mass of the engine was rotating.

Fun...

I think he needs to configure his movement control settings.

Brownbarron,
I swear if I twist my device just right I get a lttle yaw! Seriously I don't think you can trim or yaw. If you find it please tell us!

It'd be pretty useful if we could though!

Thanks for the detailed and very useful response IQQI

i need to learn more about planes so i can answer these questions better! lol

Planes in my "Hanger" keep changing.....any reason why?

One set of planes are german and the other set are british....when you join a game, it usually is random and you either join on the german side or english....

Hope this helps

Anyone can tell me about Practice Level 6? Never seem to get Allied plane to safely.

HELP lol

Kill the enemies.

Just kill them and not worry about stayin close to allied? I'll try the killin lol

1) Ignore the allied plane and take-out the opposition.
2) After taking out the enemy planes locate the ally. The allied plane flies towards the enemy airport and then banks West.

What is Flaming & Trolling? Also whats the policy on crashing to get back to base? Or crashing to avoid getting out ran to target

not to sound too much the idiot, but whats the point of joining enigma or 111th? I c the labels all the time but doesn't mean much 2 me as a newbie...I fly as beatea...

I'm not to sure myself besides having backup or get help if your being attacked I guess
