Update 2.2 is now available. After post-release hotfixes and implementing HOTAS support we needed some time to polish and optimize the game. Update is introducing Co-op Mission Editor allowing you to create missions and raids available in the multiplayer mode. We also adjusted the interface and hopefully made the navigation through the game easier.
Finally a small feature: Quick Play mode. Press one button and a random mission, on a random plane will be launched. Perfect if you want to quickly show VR to your friend or just play one round when you have a short break.

Co-op Mission Editor
When you’ll launch Warplanes WW1 Fighters on Steam (not through SteamVR Home), a pop-up window will show – select Co-op Mission Editor. It's a standard “2D” application and it doesn't support VR.
Editor is self-explanatory, you’ll be able to quickly create missions and raids (raid is created when you add more missions to the same campaign). Fully functional editor is also available in a demo version of the game.
