PWCG for Korea

[Riderocket]

what happened to pat? will he make a korea version of pwcg

Well, we'll see. Actually even for GB support ended long time ago. But we are truly grateful for his awesome work.

However, the new campaign system ,as described, courtesy of @Snipermanx and his team, should be beyond what we ever had before and even dreamed. Pls check the blogs: https://media.il2-korea.com/news/dd_40

This should be a strategic and sim career combined, like a PWCG plus WoTR combined and much expanded. Of course i don't expect to run as butter from the start, it's a much too complex construction. It's a game on its own inside the game!! But i'm keeping my hopes high, since it could be everything i've dreamed for. (aside from Emily Blunt.... 🙂 )

Yeah I've been following the Dev blogs, the upcoming career mode looks really good.

Pat is really busy in real life and increasingly seems to have vanished. So I think that the chance is about zero that he'll make a version for Korea. Right now we don't even know how good Career mode will be in Korea.

I suggested to Pat that he open source his work so others can build on his work, but I'm not sure that he even read my message, since I haven't seen him around since I sent it, and that was quite a while ago.

Perhaps he's working for 1C under an NDA...

Way too early for it, the game isn't finalized, it would be a hair puller for him at this stage.  To many things not yet finished or can yet change.

I'm also hoping that Vander will do an EMG version for Korea.

Sadly I think Patrick has moved on from PWCG.  It kept the SP side alive in the original Rise of Flight ages ago before the Career was implemented.  Pat, if you are reading this, thanks for all the support of the years (decades?) of hard work.  

Let's hope the new Career can live up to the hype.

I was a huge fan of PWCG for IL2GB, and a huge thanks to Pat for all his work on it. My big hope is that the devs understand why so many of us thought PWCG was so much better than the stock career in IL2GB, and incorporate some of the ideas that made it so great into Korea.

For me personally the stock career missions in IL2GB felt like they were so obviously centered on the player's flight - you flew to a target, an enemy flight had been generated to intercept you. These missions felt very formulaic, and more or less played out a similar way every time. However, PWCG was different: flights were generated with their own objectives, you might come across an enemy flight or you might not. You might find a friendly bomber group, being intercepted by an enemy fighter grounp, then another friendly flight on CAP would spot this and dive in to help their bombers; all of it unscripted. Whereas the stock career felt like it was centered on the player, PWCG made you feel a part of a war going on around you; and that was vastly more interesting.

Yes looking forward to finishing work and trying it out

Beyond even the question of whether one career system was better than the other, the main thing (for me) is that PWCG allowed you to play in co-op, and that was honestly amazing... I'm so disappointed that Korea's career mode doesn't include a co-op feature.

I'm making a COOP converter.

You can generate any mission with Task editor and then, using the coop converter it will enable all slots and convert it to coop to play it with your friends withouth the need of using the editor.
