Hi Everyone, currently working on a flight simulation plugin. The system will provide tools needed to build simulation models of both fixed and rotary-wing (helicopter) aircraft to very accurate levels. The wings and rotors will use variations of the blade-element theory, where the components are divided into panels, and the force and moment generated by each are computed and applied to the aircraft. This makes the setup process very easy as all that is required for the component setup is a properly scaled 3D model of the aircraft. ![Screenshot (250)](https://d3kjluh73b9h9o.cloudfront.net/original/4X/e/4/7/e4728133f8494dbc427661a6877837cfdd35dd2b.jpeg) ![Screenshot (248)](https://d3kjluh73b9h9o.cloudfront.net/original/4X/7/d/8/7d86f109f92072914d9ac41dc5f22e4274138617.jpeg) The airfoils can be made using [Javafoil](https://www.mh-aerotools.de/airfoils/javafoil.htm), option will be available to set different airfoils for the root and tip of each component which will then be used to interpolate the aerodynamic coefficients at each panel. The piston and turbine engines are all based on thermodynamic principles and can be configured using publicly available data. Sample demo test: [https://youtu.be/gT61Y9XAlu8](https://youtu.be/gT61Y9XAlu8) Normal speed setup if anyone is interested: [https://youtu.be/giN5Z9QSF8E](https://youtu.be/giN5Z9QSF8E) A version of both systems already exists for the Unity3D engine; here are sample setup videos for each to get an idea of what the setup procedure entails. 1: Fixed-wing: [https://youtu.be/riUq4W08RdM](https://youtu.be/riUq4W08RdM) 2: Rotary wing: [https://youtu.be/qoyW-9yJEas](https://youtu.be/qoyW-9yJEas) Apart from some slight changes (due to the peculiarities of the Unreal inspector), the setup procedure should be almost the same. If you already have the Unity version, you will be able to export/import your existing aircraft setup via a JSON transfer system. I will be posting more development updates in the coming weeks 🙂 ---

Apologies for the disappearance…A lot has happened since the post. I did not want the plugin to simply be a port of the C# version since a lot of the existing Unity setup would not be compatible with Unreal. So I’ve had to redesign the entire system to be more Unreal-focused, with even more modular systems, which makes configuring the aircraft faster and more streamlined. Trailer: [https://youtu.be/OV3bakaIEWg?si=zvyYImOtVMDSkX-8](https://youtu.be/OV3bakaIEWg?si=zvyYImOtVMDSkX-8) For the listed questions 1. Release date: Hoping for the coming months with the latest release in March. The system is practically done, just need to finish the turbofan engines and do some testing 2. Price: Same as the Unity version 3. Structure: The core system is written in C++ with exposed functions for blueprint interaction As it stands now, setting up a new aircraft from scratch takes between 10-15mins with a dimensionally accurate 3D model. ---

This appears to be extremely awesome! I appreciate how you’re keeping things straightforward by using only a scaled model for setup yet delving further into the mechanics. I’m eager to see how this works out. In fact, it makes me think of several conversations I’ve seen on [https://flying411.com/](https://flying411.com/), where individuals are quite interested in realistic flight sims. Anticipating your updates. ---

Hey, this looks great! Is there a playable demo? I’m building a SciFi game with a “Space Drive” - I’m already going to simulate the thrust and modeling via other means (from a physics standpoint, it’ll be a thrust attached at 4 corners, so I can model rotational angular momentum as well as thrust), but in the early days they just use it as an “anti-gravity” device and use regular thrusters (Jets, turboprops) to move the craft. I want to do some detailed simulations. Would your system be capable of handling this bolted on “space drive”?
