Creating Locations and Maps in the War Thunder CDK

Perhaps you would like to recreate a famous location or legendary historic battle? The CDK allows for complete flexible control over the creation of any location thanks to the options, presets and tools available within the program. Another popular favorite amongst the community is the ability to create custom hangar locations and create your own place to call home every time you return from battle!
Players then share their content among the community and upload it for other users to download it on the War Thunder Live. Content created via the CDK and uploaded to War Thunder Live also has a chance of making it into the game via the revenue share program, more information on that can be found in our dedicated Wikipedia Article.
