Sailing Pro brings together UE's water plugin, cloth mechanics and wind system, together with our own models, audio and blueprints to create a realistic sailing simulator featuring a small lug-sail dinghy. The blueprint logic takes into account many factors and forces that affect the behaviour of the dinghy, such as sail rotation, angle-of-attack, thrust and torque, together with apparent wind and rudder responsiveness. These all come together to create a boat simulator that you can sail, tack or luff as you explore our small tropical island biome, or incorporate into your own project.
Whilst this simulator is fully functional, its development will continue if demand allows, with added features, vessels and gameplay options. Investing early will not only get you Sailing Pro at an introductory price, but will give us much needed resources to continue working on this exciting product.

Simulator Features:
Main blueprint features a lug-sail dinghy with moving sail, rudder and rope.
Cloth physics sail and flags that respond to UE's wind source.
Sail mainsheet (rope) can be tightened or loosened for reach or close hauled sailing.
Rudder becomes more responsive with greater speed.
System accounts for true and apparent wind.
Rolling torque applied as sail thrust increases.
Thrust and momentum parameters to tweak dinghy behaviour.
Third-person character can board and disembark dinghy.
10 palm tree and foliage assets included in our island biome.
Professional Licence: purchase will entitle team to 2 hours of dedicated support with integrating the system into your own project. If you have a larger project in mind that requires additional input, then our involvement can be negotiated.
