[h2]The Project[/h2]
As some virtual pilots already know, Combat Pilot: Carrier Qualification will be the first in a string of titles we intend to develop. If you're curious about what that means, feel free to check out the project's history and future plans on our Forum and website. We've also answered many common questions about the project in an FAQ touching on many topics surrounding development. We also have our official Discord server where you can share you passion for combat flight-simulators, the air war in the Pacific Theater, and upcoming Combat Pilot titles.
