- Warplanes: WW1 Fighters – graphics update is now available - 5 April 2024
We continue to improve Warplanes: WW1 Fighters, which has been a huge success thanks to a great community. Our goal is to improve the entire Warplanes trilogy. Each game has taught us something. We try to utilize gained experience retroactively, updating older titles and implementing features we developed more recently. We don't want any group of fans to feel left behind. We strive to ensure that fans of WW1 Fighters, Battles over Pacific and Air Corp have the best experience possible. This time, the changes mainly focus on graphics. As you have noticed the build weighs more. That's thanks to high-resolution terrain textures and new trees, so you'll be dogfighting over better-looking, more diverse terrain. Subtle tweaks in lighting should improve the overall graphics quality. Terrain generation has been improved, making it smoother. We've improved the look of cities by replacing texture…
- Warplanes: WW1 Fighters – multiplayer update 4.3 is now live - 3 October 2023
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 The design is based on historical references.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…
- Improved graphics and new Multiplayer – update 4.0 now available - 20 October 2022
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…
