Personally I don't see the need for the developers putting in different "game modes".
Everything needed to create different game ideas should be in the editor, if it isn't already I hope we get the tools that are needed eventually.
For instance, a racing scenario could be created with making it so every player becomes his own "team/nation", setting up a few gates with area triggers inside and then making it so the triggers must be activated in the order of the race route (number of activations = number of laps), then set up victory conditions, the first to activate all triggers get x points, nr 2 gets y points and so on.
I've not put much time into the editor so I don't know if this is possible or not.
Setting up different scenarios fairly easily should be the goal of a good editor as that expands the game immensely.
All the good MP maps I've played in IL-2 had good clear goals of what to protect and what to attack and it was clear where to fly and what to do. IMO clear objectives makes team play a lot more likely and immersion is also heightened.
