Easy Flight Model offers a flight simulation plugin. This plugin allows for aerodynamic force calculations on physics objects, meaning it works best for simulating fixed-wing aircraft and the like. This plugin is available for both C++ and blueprint-only projects and works on Windows and Linux.

Easy Flight Model – explained for beginners.

• What it does: It calculates lift, drag, and other forces based on movements to simulate fixed-wing aerodynamics on any object that adheres to such principles.
• Why it matters: This plugin matters because without such systems implemented, objects would not be able to drive in the air as real life would facilitate.
• Who it is suitable for: This is suitable for anyone with Unreal Engine who seeks to add realistic flying options to their projects.

mookie – Easy Flight Model Features

• Lift and Drag Simulation: Lift and drag are simulated as curves based on angle of attack (AoA) and lateral movement.
• Buoyancy Feature: Simulates balloons and airships with buoyancy effects.
• Control Surfaces: Control surfaces with curves to decrease/increase effectiveness based on angle of attack
• Engines Control: Thrust vectoring for VTOL and curves of control for proper engine actions.
• Air Density Dynamics: Aerodynamic forces are impacted by air density, with real-life data extent curves controlling effects based on them.
• Ground Effect: Ground effect is calculated using raycasts against terrain meshes.
• Blueprint Compatible: Wholly blueprint compatible; all variables can be read and changed.
• Multiplayer Compatible: Supports net move replication with smoothing and jitter reduction.
