Hey guys. Just want to apologize to Pie for having to bail in that game today. My parents stopped by unexpectedly. It was a fun one.

Well I got to the point where it was a stalemate and left ending score at 180-64 (<180 or <64) give or take a few.
Good Game to all of those dang reds. Lowdan- SOO annoyingly good and Squirrel, well i dont like them anymore!

GG quit, way to kick some bunyans!

I have been having a bit of trouble lately with the app crashing. I'm playing a game and then all of a sudden, I'm on my home page having to try and get back in the game. It happened several times in one game today. Are other people having this problem? Thanks!

There is a new update available to Windows users that came out today.. I don't know if it fixes everything or not since I didn't get the last update & actually I will wait to get another update once it is forced upon me. But for y'all that have been having issues it's probably a good idea to try it... HOWEVER! Our pilot Toph did get it and I think he's still having issues, but zuperman said for him to delete the app AND restart his computer before re-installing it and that should take care of it..

If you get it and are either happy or not, let us know okay? Thanks!

Zebra, thanks for the replay. I'm on an Apple iPad Air, so the Windows upgrade won't help. When an upgrade is made I usually get a notice that I have to upgrade to continue playing and I haven't gotten that message yet. I could just delete the app and then reload, but will I still keep my account or do I start all over again? Gee, I would really hate that!

Just delete the app and then shut off your device.. turn it back on and re-install the app.. you won't lose anything or have to start over from scratch. (you do remember your password right? lol! )

Well, that didn't go well. I deleted the app and reloaded it, when I got to the sign in page I entered my e-mail and password, but it said "Account not found". I tried a different email (I had another account at one time) but that didn't work either. I delated the app again and reloaded it. Used my email address and then hit the box for lost password and got one for each of the accounts but that didn't work either, it came up as a new account at level 1 (I'm at level 30) So, I got on the forum here and checked my account, yep on the password, yep on the "Barnstormer Don" and I used my password to log on, so it works too. I deleted the app and reloaded for the third time. Put in the data I confirmed from my forum info and it still doesn't work.

I really don't know what's going on, but right now I can't resister except as a new player. What do you think I should do? Contact Zupperman? Could it be that I'm still flying as a free account and have not upgraded to a paid participant? I'm at a loss.

There is a fix coming out tomorrow for some platforms.. but Don just email zuperman at This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. and give him your EXACT & FULL in-game name and nature of your problems AND what device you are on.

Hope this helps!

Zebra, I'll write to him tomorrow. Thanks for the input, it is appreciated. You da man!

I contacted superman and he got my account working again. The first time I logged on it came up at level 1, but it showed that I was at level 30. I quit that game and everything went back to normal on the second game. I'll let you know if it clears up the problem of suddenly quitting. ZebraUp, thanks for your help. I'm now a subscriber too

Just an up date. Zuperman did get me reinstated, but now I'm invisable! People can see me when I first renter the game, because they shoot at me, but at some point I become undetectable. I was in a game of capture the flag when it happened. I took the flag back to their base and had to crash to put it back, then I left the game. I tried a few other time but it still happens. Zuperman said he is working on an up date, so I'll wait for that befor I start playing again. Carry on and have fun!

Don, the invisibility thing is a glitch that zuperman is working to fix.. an update that he released was messed up by the platform so he just released yesterday another update.. now we're just waiting on the individual platforms to release it to the devices.. Android I think was yesterday.. Microsoft doesn't release on weekends so probably on Monday.. with Apple.. who knows?

Meanwhile, it's been good flying with some of you.. and I look forward to flying with all of y'all at some point soon I hope lol!


Anyone without a banner just PM me and I will be happy to make you one!

Hey..just a heads up...don't shoot zuperman right now. Went for the points and trophy when he was blue. He wasn't happy! Got banned for a day. Apologized but he was in the midst of trying to figure out the invisibility thing and was very irritated with me. Just sayin'.

RT, don't be messing with my man Zuperman, I'm still invisible myself , even after loading the upgrade. I can't play until it's fixed, well I can, but it would be very unfair to fly around shooting people and them not being able to fight back … but then again … no it's wrong, just wrong to do that!

Sorry Don....didn't think. Are you on iPad? Mine is working now. Hope he gets it fixed for you!

RT, no problem, I'm just funning with ya! I'm on an iPad also, the first generation and I'm still using the OS7 that it came with. I don't like upgrading Apple operating systems because all of a sudden you wind up with programs that don't work or apps you can't use anymore. And then they make it impossible to go back! I have been an Apple guy for 25 years, but sometimes they just tick me off.

I just tried a game and yep everybody's shooting at me!!! That's a good sign they can see me, so it looks like the invisibility bug is gone.

Hey, doesn't say I can't shoot him when blue! He was ripped because he still didn't know what was going on with the invisibility thing. Didn't stop him from taking the time to ban me and take out my stats. He can be pretty vindictive when he wants to be. Not pleasant. But he accepted my apology that I sent to his private email. I was about ready to cancel my account and switch to World of Tanks permanently. Since I couldn't fly here for a number of days, I have been working in my tank skills there. I go there when there are no good games on DF. Well, back to chasing you Trey!

Well yeah RT, zuperman can wield the ban-hammer anytime he wishes.. BUT.. let's be real here for a moment.. yeah, it doesn't say you shouldn't shoot him when he's BLUE.. but you aren't supposed to shoot ANYONE when they are BLUE! lol!

Those are some nice recruits, Zebra.
They are on every squad's wish list, I bet.

Is Tim Finn from that eighties band Crowded House?
Could you ask him for an autograph for me?

They're not recruits but all have been in Lafayette for awhile as we don't promote new recruits until after they've flown within the escadrille for awhile. And yeah, definitely a great batch of pilots that we in the Lafayette Escadrille are proud to have as teammates!

As for Finn, I'll ask lol!

MARNES-LA-COQUETTE, France -- Lt. Gen. Tom Jones, U.S. Air Forces in Europe and Air Forces Africa vice commander, delivers remarks at the Escadrille Lafayette Memorial Service May 24, 2014, just outside Paris. The memorial service commemorates fallen U.S. volunteer pilots of Escadrille Lafayette, or the Lafayette Squadron, who flew combat missions with the French military in WWI before and after the United States officially joined the war.
