Greetings, it the game “Soldier of fortune” from Raven Software, there was a train level (mission 2: Uganda) where the map visually looped endlessly while the player plays only on the train itself. Is it possible to have the same effect in Unreal Engine 5?
Thank you for your time.

There are a lot of ways of doing this, but I think in this case, the train is not actually moving.
The ground and rails is either an animated material, or a small number of meshes which are moved quickly under the train, and replaced in a loop.
The only other thing moving is nearby hills, which probably use the same ‘loop replacement’ method as the ground, just much more slowly.
