We are pleased to announce that the 4.3 update for Warplanes: WW1 Fighters is now available for download. We focused on the wishes of our dear community that continues to wage epic battles in multiplayer mode.
One of the most common wishes was the ability to choose maps in multiplayer mode. The host can now choose from 25 locations known from the singleplayer and co-op modes. We refreshed each map and added cities and other buildings, roads and rails. Of course, anti-aircraft artillery has been disabled so as not to affect the balance of gameplay.

You will also notice a compass in the cockpit. The design is based on historical references. The Central Powers and the Entente have their own unique models. By default, the compass case is fixed, but you can unlock its realistic rotation caused by gravity in the Settings.

Multiplayer now has an option present in the legacy version – the host can set the limit of respawns. We've also added the Team Flare Mayhem mode to give you more options to play.

• New mode: Team Flare Mayhem.
  
• Selectable maps in multiplayer mode.
  
• All maps have been refreshed; cities, buildings, railroads, ships, etc. have been added.
  
• The cockpit of the aircraft includes a compass. In addition, in the Settings player can unlock the movement of the entire compass.
  
• The host can set the limit of respawns in a session as in Legacy Multiplayer.
  
• In Legacy Co-Op mode, the host can set the number of players.
  
• Various bug fixes and improvements.

We look forward to your feedback and would like to thank you for your continued support.

For now we’ll focus on Warplanes: Air Corp, and we encourage you to follow the development of this production. Of course support for Warplanes: WW1 Fighters will continue.

Update 4.0 is now available. It introduces a number of changes and fixes that revamp the game and add new functionality to the multiplayer. It is the biggest update to Warplanes: WW1 Fighters and we have been working on it for the last 3 months.

The change you will definitely notice is the graphics. We released the first version of the game in January 2020. Since then we have learned a lot. We utilized this knowledge for Warplanes: Battles over Pacific, and now we want to revamp the first installment of Warplanes as well. We improved the skies, shaders and terrain, aircraft lighting, and reflections in the water.

The biggest changes have reached the multiplayer mode. We listened to your feedback and in order to introduce some of the desired functionality, we had to take a bold step and created standalone multiplayer.

At the moment, the game has two modes – Multiplayer launched from the main menu and Legacy Multiplayer, the core rules of which have remained unchanged, but it too has received features and new content.

• We added a second board so that you can manage your planes in an intuitive and easy way.
  
• We added a requested feature of enabling friendly fire in the Team Deathmatch, Co-Op and Raid modes.
  
• 15 new maps available for PvP modes.

NOTE: In Legacy Multiplayer planes are shared with the Singleplayer mode.

• All planes are available from the start and are fully upgraded.
  
• Player gains experience that unlocks more ranks. Ranks unlock new decals (over 60 new pictures!).
  
• Host can select which planes are allowed in the session. This gives you the possibility to exclude some planes or even to create a session with only one playable plane.
  
• We added a requested feature of enabling friendly fire in the Team Deathmatch, Co-Op and Raid modes.
  
• Added favorite bar in the respawn window. You can add up to 3 planes to favorites and pick a respawn plane swiftly.
  
• 15 new maps available for PvP modes are of course also present in the new Multiplayer.

Important Information

• Leaderboards have not been reset.
  
• The modes are compatible with each other – players from the new Multiplayer as well as Legacy Multiplayer can play with each other. The exception is for the new Multiplayer sessions with the Allowed Planes option enabled. This feature is only available in the new Multiplayer.
  
• There are no differences in game balance between modes.

We hope that you’ll enjoy the new update. Since the update required a lot of changes, please let us know if you encounter any bugs or problems. Feel free to use our support form[www.homenetgames.com] or leave a note on our Discord[discord.gg].

New mode "Flares Mayhem" – new, experimental multiplayer mode, just let us know if you like it. Guns in the planes are disable and you have unlimited flares at your disposal.

Planes management in the session window – if you forget to set up your squadron before entering multiplayer mode, you can choose planes you want to fly in multiplayer directly from the session window. Just select the planes icon. Please mind that all plane purchases and upgrades must be performed in the main base (select "Planes" and "Planes Shop" from the left board).

Yoke position adjustment – select settings during the flight. You can adjust the position of the joke to make the controls more comfortable.

Dear Steam Community,
We’d like to share some updates on Warplanes: WW1 Fighters and our studio.

As you may know, Warplanes: WW1 Fighters is also available for Oculus Quest devices on App Lab. We are proud to announce that due to positive feedback on App Lab and Steam, Warplanes will be available to purchase from the Oculus Store on July 29, 2021.


How does it affect the Steam version? Of course the growing user base will revive multiplayer. The new store presence strengthens our position on the VR marketplace and allows us to allocate more resources into development of new projects and supporting released titles.

We’d like to assure you that Warplanes: WW1 Fighters will be getting the same updates no matter the platform. We are strongly against platform exclusive content or DLC-s, therefore we don’t have plans to include such in any version.

If the given platform holder doesn’t oppose it, the game still supports free cross-platform multiplayer.

On July 29th, Warplanes: WW1 Fighters’ price will increase to $19.99 across all platforms. Our decision was based on many factors related to team expansion and funding of our future projects. We want to remain 100% independent and our back catalog is our main source of income.

Before we increase the price, we decided to create a discount – all players that wishlisted our game on steam will get a notification and will be able to buy the game at a lower price.

At the moment we are still working on Warplanes: WW1 Fighters. Certification for the Oculus Store allowed us to find some issues and tweak the game. The update will be released simultaneously with all platforms. After that, we’ll then focus on the next project, and supporting Warplanes: WW1 Fighters.

Dear pilots!
2.4 update brings general stability improvements for the multiplayer mode.
Warplanes: WW1 Fighters supports cross-platform multiplayer across PC (SteamVR, Oculus Rift, HTC Viveport) and Oculus Quest. Therefore providing the best experience for all devices was our top priority while working on this update.
We addressed the disconnect issue while playing long sessions and some rare bugs we caught during additional testing sessions.
See you online!

Update 2.3 is dedicated mostly to multiplayer mode and it fixes some minor bugs.

• Spectator mode added – now after reaching the limit of respawns you are placed in other players’ planes as a spectator. Switch between players using A/B/X/Y buttons (on most controllers).
  
• Matchmaking improvements.
  
• Information about about number of players and sessions is displayed while searching for open game.
  
• Fixed bug causing wrong position of the camera after exiting multiplayer (SteamVR only)
