Made a quick demo project for you, link and pics below

No Gimbal lock with this method, I wouldn’t usually do it so crudely but I only wanted to demonstrate how easy it is. Forward, Right and Up vectors of any actor are always guaranteed to be orthogonality correct (since they are vectors rotated by the actor quat under the hood).

What I would usually do is create one Rotator from all three axes at once, and use the tick event to drive it. (Swap the Axes & Rotation node for a Multiply Node, and use 'Make Rotator From Axes) - but for whatever reason my brain wasn’t working this morning.

@TheJamsh,

Just want to say thanks! Looking forward to trying this out.
(Curious to compare it to Jacky’s Viper implementation too)

Mine is completely physics driven, i imagine James’ would be more performance friendly.

Thanks for sharing, James!
