Successful small studio, bought by EA, and never heard from again.
They were merged into Firemonkeys Studio, and are still a going concern (their last three games - Real Racing 3, The Sims Freeplay, and Need for Speed: No Limits - are still getting updates).

X-Plane Carrier was also a lot of fun, and by all accounts very realistic.

The current version of that experience is (I think) available as an add-on to X-Plane 10 mobile: https://www.x-plane.com/mobile/

Yes, that’s the one!
