A small Combat Pilot update

2–3 minutes

Many of you might remember the reveal of Combat Pilot and the Q&A I was able to do with Jason Williams on the new project. This Pacific oriented combat flight simulator is just getting started and so far there has not been many updates. A short update over the weekend by Jason gives us a small taste of what they have been working on behind the scenes.

No developer diary just yet

Over the weekend, Jason Williams was on the new Combat Pilot Discord providing a small update on what the team at Barbedwire Studios and Entropy.Aero have been up to.

Hi guys. I apologize for no official Developer Diary yet, but I assure you progress is being made albeit slowly here at he early stage. I want to thank everyone who has helped me research the Midway Atoll and it’s defenses so our first battleground and aerial attack scenario will be rooted in historical fact. We continue to add to our little staff and make funds available for the things we need. I also see our Zeke and Wildcat starting to take shape and we have a cute little 250lb bomb that will set the stage for good looking ordnance you will drop on the enemy. Our engineers also continue to work on our physics and aircraft systems. Many folks have written me on different subjects and I will endeavor to respond soon. Thank you for your patience guys and your continued support and hanging out on our Discord, Forum and Socials. Have a great weekend pilots!

These are all great signs as this new combat flight simulator begins to take shape. Combat Pilot is at the beginning of a long journey, one that I’m sure will take a couple of years to begin to fully realize, but the first steps are always critical. With both Zero and Wildcat taking shape, physics and aircraft systems coming together, and ongoing research projects helping to hammer together different details, I remain supremely optimistic that this will all come together in an incredible way.

It’s a small update but that’s ok. Bigger updates are sure to come!

Keep an eye on the following accounts for more:

    It’s not surprising that the updates are rare and small at this stage. There are simply not enogh eye-candy or interesting features to share yet. Only mundane but necessary basics, which will need much time and effort to be made. Also, many things must be too fluid ATM to be announced, lest false expectations, positive or negative, appear. So it’s fine, let’s just wait until the project is at a more advanced stage, where frequent detailed updates would make sense.

      I think that its ok right now that not a ton of people know about it. These are early days for the project and so Jason connecting with me and putting it out there here was mostly to connect with the core fans enabling him to start talking about the product.

      I think once they have actual gameplay and other things to be able to show off (probably a year out) then we’ll see them talking a lot more and hopefully marketing beyond the smaller scope that they are now.

    Do you think there could have been an IL-2 GBs Pacific Theater such as the lead up to Midway (save for Coral Sea, Han told me that’s too large), Guadalcanal, New Guinea, Philippines, and Iwo Jima to Okinawa?

    For this to succceed they need to do better on the info front. Most people are unaware that this even exists.
