Thanks for checking out Combat Pilot. We're a new hardcore combat flight-simulator for the PC set in the Pacific Theater of WWII.
Do you remember a time when there were many different combat flight-sim titles to choose from on the PC? We certainly do and miss those days. Like you, we want to see more choices in the genre and help inspire virtual pilots both young and old to take to the digital skies. We want to offer the CFS community another option besides the usual two or three titles that have been on the market for decades. More warbirds, more theaters, more features and more competition is good for the genre.
Combat Pilot aims to bring a high-quality flight and fighting experience to you by harnessing the power and flexibility of Unreal Engine 5+. We are currently building our inaugural retail product and in the process of mating our powerful flight-model and physics solution to UE5.
Initial Combat Pilot titles will be modest in scope and features and focus on the fundamental technology and elements needed to make a successful CFS franchise. Each Combat Pilot title will build upon the previous and come together create a comprehensive combat flight-sim experience. Early content will include the following:
Flyable F4F-4 Wildcat and A6M2 Model 21 "Zero"
USS Enterprise and IJN Akagi aircraft carriers
Realistic carrier take-offs and landings
Midway Atoll
