Question 1

When is the next update?

Accepted Answer

We’re happy you enjoy the game and want to see more planes and missions.  We try to update the game about once ever 4-6 weeks. However, we are a small group and sometimes it takes us a little longer ;-)  You can check our Facebook page at https://www.facebook.com/AirCombatPilotWW2Pacific.

Question 2

I crashed after flying through the final checkpoint, do I still get credit for the missions?"

Accepted Answer

Yup!  Aren't we nice ;-)

Question 3

Do I need to use the brake when making a carrier landing?

Accepted Answer

It depends on the aircraft you are flying.  Aircraft designed for carrier landings have an arrestor hook that can be lowered on approach, and will slow the aircraft to a stop on the deck.  Other aircraft do not have this hook.  However, if you are good, you may be able to land most aircraft on the deck even if they are not designed for it and don’t have an arrestor hook.

Question 4

The game usually runs very smooth, but can run slowly at times."

Accepted Answer

We have found that most of the time this is caused by the power-saving and heat-management features of your device.  When some devices get hot, or low on battery, they slow down the processor and GPU to save energy. Usually just putting your device to sleep for a few minutes is enough to let it cool down.

Question 5

My devices gets hot when I play the game.

Accepted Answer

3D games use a lot of power! This can cause your device to heat up and the battery to drain more quickly than usual. While this is perfectly normal for advanced 3D games, you can try using the “Limit Frame Rate” setting on the Graphics page of the Options menu to reduce power consumption.

Question 7

I Bought the Rocket Pack - How do I Use It?

Accepted Answer

First, thanks for buying the Rocket Pack!  Support from customers like you is how we keep going!
The rocket pack will allow you to use rockets on any plane that is capable of carrying them.  Rockets are one of the best upgrades, so this pack can be a lot of fun. The first plane you encounter that can equip rockets is the F6F-3 Hellcat. When you get that, or any other plane that can carry rockets, you will automatically have them equipped and ready to go.  (Once you have that plane, be sure to go back and use rockets to pick up the extra star for mission 01-3.)

Question 8

I purchased the No Ads item, but I’m still seeing ads!"

Accepted Answer

In very rare circumstances, in-app purchases can fail. If you are seeing ads after a mission, but you are pretty sure you purchased the No Ads item, please send us a support email from within the game under Settings | Support | Contact Us. This will let us examine your cloud save and be sure it contains the No Ads item.
Please note:  purchasing the No Ads item DOES NOT remove the ability to watch “rewarded” video ads for free spins or mission bonus earnings.

Question 9

How Do I Shoot the Birds

Accepted Answer

Good question, actually - and you are not the first to ask ;-)
The easiest place to find birds is to take off from the carrier in Mission 3-1 with a slower plane such as the Texan. Birds will cross your flight path between the carrier and the 1st checkpoint ring. There are a few other spots like this. Keep your eyes open in front of checkpoints and takeoff locations.
