By the way... does the WoP PC game have a mission editor?? The training mode on BoP is nice, but a real mission editor is what I wish for...

Hi & thanks.

According to the yuplay website, there may be plans for a quick mission editor in the very near future but they didn't go into any kind of detail as to it's content & functionality etc. This is copied from the site, from the admin team member 'todace'.

Ok, more details.
1. No custom skins will be available. May be later in updates or in sequel - we are working on lots of directions and User Generated Content too. But our game is much more complex in terms of content - so it is much harder to make skins too.
2. In fact main new features are:
Main: authentic bullet tracers, more relaistic rain effects, arcade realism level has now much more realistic speeds limits, all authentic cockpits for all fighters (may be in next DLC\update for console game too, but depends on publisher).
Multiplayer: 32 players in match, Join-in-Progress, Migration Host, Persistent lobby (and lots of fixes, some of them are the same as in update, some are new), changes in team modes gameplay scheme (now only Allies against Axis available)
Single: optional take-offs in some missions.

After release we plan to release som-addons with planes\missions\locations (that is to be detailed).
Also we want to make som UGC support - skins or\and missions (or just advanced quick mission builder). But that is future plans for next year.

I thought Todace was lead designer? But anyway...

LOL you didn't think this was a significant piece of info?

I don't know how old this post from Todace is as I stopped checking that forum cos it keeps signing me out and I have to dig out the password, but that implies that cockpit DLC for consoles is still on the table.

Ah well. Corrected again. I was going by the title in the left hand column under Group: Administrators

That sentence is not significant to me in the slightest, personally speaking but yes I do see your point & I really hope that BoP can make up ground with WoP.

I threw in an another question here if its ok?

If i buy and download this game, does it have any autodownload of patches like steam does? Or do i have to manually download patches?

At the moment, it's still going through its BETA stage & so there are regular patches that you will have to d/l manually although you are notified on startup & are presented with a link.

You only have to d/l & keep up to date with the patches if you plan to play online. Whether the patch retrieval system will be automated on the final release or follow the same procedure, I'm not too sure.

Ok, tnx for the answer

There was a rumour that it might be avalible on steam in the future. Perhaps we should wait and see.

It's funny how everyone is all excited about WoP and forgets how badly BoP was fumbled.
