A MMO flight simulator released as an expansion for Microsoft Flight Simulator X. In opposition to other dedicated add-ons, Combat Pilot offers the ability to take control of one of fifty combat planes and engage in aerial battles with other players. All machines were recreated with due piety, while the controls and handling of individual machines correspond with their real life counterparts.
Combat Pilot for PC is a MMO air combat expansion for Microsoft Flight Simulator X. The add-on was developed by Thunderhawk, a studio affiliated with Mad Catz, a popular manufacturer of gaming equipment.
Mechanics
The add-on enables us to take control of one of fifty combat airplanes and engage in online battles with other players. The authors have decided to focus on realism – all machines were recreated with due piety, with their handling and controls almost identical to the real life counterparts. Combat Pilot is a team-based title – to win, players have to work together in order to achieve their goals and defeat the enemy team. The authors introduced an extensive training mode that makes it easier for the beginner players to enter the world of the game, while more advanced players can focus on rising through the further steps of their military careers.
Technical Aspects
The expansion uses Microsoft Flight Simulator X as a base, yet Combat Pilot is not a simple add-on. The authors have introduced a number of new features to the already-complex FSX engine, including dedicated servers, AI-controlled air control towers, or advanced radio communication. Moreover, the game contains numerous models, maps, or special effects that should satisfy every aviation fan.
