<br />
According to this blog entry the new career mode may include the following features:<br />
Quote
* Covers 700 days of the Great War. More days may be added if we build planes from even earlier in the war.<br />
* Continued promotion through the ranks.<br />
* Changing Weather with Seasonal Textures (Summer, Autumn and Winter).<br />
* New Titles and Awards.<br />
* More than 15 different types of missions.<br />
* New types of gameplay, such as adjusting artillery fire or photo reconnaissance, with new interactive elements and equipment such a wireless radio and/or camera added to your plane. You can also watch real-time changes in the world based on the results of your actions such as corrected artillery fire.<br />
* A higher level of interactivity and randomness during missions, for example, flying close to an enemy's airfield could trigger enemy fighters to intercept you.<br />
* Combines your personal statistics, events and achievements with real history.<br />
* Interactive map of hostilities with information about current operations at the front and the location of various units and squadrons.<br />
* Historically correct squadron’s location and re-locations.<br />
* Historically correct automatic mission completion by A.I. pilots in missions not involving the player using a new technique we developed.<br />
* Historically correct awards and conditions for awards.<br />
* Realistic calendar of European Weather<br />
* Virtual "Newspaper", depicting timely events at the front, new inventions in science and technology, and list of important aces published on a regular basis.<br />
* All virtual A.I. squadron mates have their own names, grow in rank and abilities, go the hospital if needed and receive awards for their actions.<br />
* Ability to meet historic allied or enemy aces in combat situations. If you kill a famous enemy ace he will not re-appear and his kill total will stop in the press.<br />
* Ability to be transferred to another squadron with promotion in rank.<br />
* Realistic attrition of personnel and material in your squadron.<br />
* Repair of damaged aircraft and hospitalization of wounded pilots.<br />
* Ability to use a custom paintjob after 5 kills.<br />

* Planning includes the selection of pilots and aircrafts, which will participate in your flight.<br />
