Will there be a basic mission editor in the game?

I guess, the game will be finished in end of Q1 - beginning of Q2.
But for console games there is huge time needed after RC till street date.
There are submissions to platformholders, manufacture time, etc.
Moreover, we are planning simultaneous release for all platforms.

So, please, just wait - the game won't slip 09, I promise (of course, if something as unpredictable as WorldWarIII not happen).
The game is in playable alpha stage, it was demonstrated on Igromir (Russian customer's show), it has full content ready, and we are polishing, optimizing, bugfixing - there is nothing that can stop us (well, except publisher or war).

Thanks Anton, I didn't mean to sound pushy
Let's hope for no WW3!

Is there the possibility of customizing the planes with insignias or squad markings? A library of design work to choose from would be great!

Do you guys plan on including medals for single/online multiplay achievements etc.? Air Medal, Distinguished Flying Cross, etc. and all the various Russian, German, Japanese equivalents would be fantastic! It would be so cool to have a medal chest/album to see them all and the dates acquired a la Battlefield2 and Halo3 etc...
