I have to say, this looks rather splendid. It's going to be available on Steam for about Ã,Â£12 and if it's got LAN support we might be onto a winner....

Looks good, I might have to buy that.

We played the Airfix dogfight game at Oct LAN, that was a fun distraction.

Tutonic · May 18, 2010, 05:53:52 PM

According to the Dogfighter beta forums, LAN play is fully supported.

Huzzah.

guys.. I think this could have some (albeit limited) potential. Not sure if there's a demo as I haven't been able to find one yet.

I think one of the problems/keys is to find a game which everyone can easily pick up and play. I like the idea of a flight combat game as a diversion but if that's all it's going to be then should we ask people to have to buy it?

Pete, were people just running the demo and can you play it multiplayer? How many per side?

Thanks

It was multi player, but I don't know how many it will support. we played deathmatch stylee with about 3 or 4 IIRC.
I just dl'd it from someones zip file and we played on a local server.
it was easy to pick up and play.
can't remember who I played against or wh I got it off.

It's only a couple of quid on Steam.

Airfix is a zip file, I was playing with Sn00ks, Blunt and someone else. It's basic, but good fun for five minutes. Everyone knows if you want another LAN game, Trackmania is where it's at.

Just played on it (It's a free weekend) and it's good fun. I'll probably end up buying it.

I,ve just bought Altitude, it was only Ã,Â£3.49, good fun, quite a few game modes, including "airball" which is kind of football with fighter planes. Oh and importantly you can host your own server. As was said its free this weekend so worth a try for the last few hours.
