Enter the Pacific air war

WISHLIST CARRIER QUALIFICATION

COMBAT PILOT is a new, hardcore combat flight simulator set in WWII, built from scratch. We commence our journey in the Pacific, with the Battle of Midway.

Get ready to experience the most detailed models ever created for pacific war aircraft and naval operations in a videogame. Combat Pilot also has clickable cockpits and state of the art flight mechanics, built by an aircraft design team using modern tools like Computational Fluid Mechanics.

Our first commercial product, CARRIER QUALIFICATION, features the two most iconic naval fighters of the early Pacific war, the American F4F4 and theJapanese A6M2 ‘Zeke’, and two of the most legendary aircraft carriers of all time, the USS Enterprise and theIJN Akagi.

Game changing features

Fidelity and realism

We are devoted to presenting these legendary aircraft to a high degree of fidelity.

Combat Pilot has Clickable cockpits, full systems modeling and Virtual Reality support.

Our flight models are developed to the highest standards using real aircraft design bureau processes, including computational fluid mechanics.

A historical undertaking

We travel the world and partner up with the best in the industry to deliver aircraft, ships and locations that no longer survive today.

Experience the most accurate digital models ever vcreated of legendary war machines like the D3A Val, TBD Devastator, IJN Akagi, and more.

Help us preserve history!

Modern game Engine

We are the first hardcore combat flight simulator to unleash the full potential of the modern game engine Unreal Engine 5, and thus we are not bound by legacy game engine limitations. The game engine gets upgraded continuously!

Our team works diligently to turn UE5 into a full-feature flight simulation powerhouse.

Experimental prototype

2024

The tech demo that showed that we could develop a fully-fledged pacific flight simulator. Presented at FS Expo 2024 in Vegas, NV.

carrier qualification

2026

Our baptism by fire as a commercial product. The first ever combat flight sim in Unreal Engine 5, focused around carrier ops and aircraft systems

air combat

2028

The foundations for proper air combat, large scale multiplayer and next-generation damage system. From this moment onward, the sky is the limit!

Long term goals

Pacific and beyond

We’d love to tell the story about the Pacific theater and eventually move to other air combat theaters of WWII.

modding

From the community, for the community. We’d like to have vast modding support, enabling players to create their own content.

collaborations

We’re open to collaborations with content creators to bring aircraft, maps, skins, and so much more to the Combat Pilot universe.

Aeroelasticity

We’ll eventually be the first flight simulator to model aeroelasticity procedurally using runtime aerodynamics.

About Us

Learn more about the history of the project

Combat Pilot was born from the combined efforts of Jason Williams, veteran producer of combat flight sims, Barbedwire Studios, critically acclaimed devepers of “Call to Arms – Gates of Hell” and an enthiusiastic investor with the passion to make the first ever western-made combat flight sim. The goal: building a state-of-the-art combat flight-simulator for the PC. They agreed on two main goals. First, to fulfill their passion by making a quality product with features that the combat flight simulation community wants. And second, to cover a long-neglected combat theater that is largely missing in modern combat flight-sims: The Pacific.

And so, the Entropy.Aero team was born, finally bringing a new, comprehensive Pacific themed aerial combat experience to virtual fighter and bomber pilots around the world.  We strive to maximize historical accuracy, quality gameplay and engaged, friendly communities that Gates of Hell fans know well.

Engaging with the developers

You will find us active on our discord.

We also host regular “Questions and Answers” and Flight mechanics lectures for our Patreon subscribers.

What groundbreaking technology can Combat Pilot bring to the table?

Combat Pilot will strive to bring the latest advancements in game engine architecture and technology to the combat flight-sim market, such as advanced and soft-body physics, virtual reality, multi-threading, ray tracing, dynamic virtualized geometry, beautiful particle effects, next-gen sound and more. 

Beyond modern gaming technology, Entropy.Aero benefit from years of hard work and engineering experience in the commercial aerospace industry. This work has resulted in an industry-grade toolkit making highly accurate flight models possible. It is also backed by computational fluid dynamics simulations coupled with available aircraft documentation to verify the theoretical calculations. 

This approach is particularly important for the Pacific theater, where reliable information and detailed documentation about the flight characteristics of many aircraft, especially Japanese aircraft, is rare. Entropy.Aero engineers have worked for Airbus and SAAB among others.
