Easy Flight Model for Unreal Engine 4/5

EasyFlightModel is a simple, versatile and easy to use semi-realistic flight model. Just attach it as a child component to any physics body and it'll fly.

-Lift, drag - uses a curve to vary coefficient depending on angle of attack.

-Can simulate lift and drag caused by sideways movement - for vehicles with vertical lifting surfaces.

-Lift asymmetry simulation - runs lift calculation at multiple points along the wing span and applies forces at appropriate locations

-Buoyancy - can also simulate balloons and airships.

-Stabilization - Neutral and control trim simulated, can use control curves to vary for realistic stalls.

-Control surfaces - w/ curves to vary control efficiency based on AoA. -Additional lift devices - flaps and spoilers, deployment/retraction time simulated.

-Engine - control curves, thrust redirection for VTOL.

-Attitude thrusters - can use engine power for thrust vectoring.

-Dynamic air density - affecting all aerodynamic forces, default curves based on real world measurements included.

-Dynamic wind

-Mach - lift, drag, stability and engine thrust can be varied depending on mach number.

-Ground effect - using raycast against terrain mesh

-Fly-by-wire computer assists.

-Guidance - automatically adjust controls to steer towards target vector using PID controller.

-Linear mode - optional unrealistic mode for more "slidey" arcade physics.

-Code plugin - works in both C++ and blueprint-only projects.

-Can run in physx substep to increase accuracy.

-Network movement replication with smoothing and jitter filtering.

-Supports multiplayer origin rebasing (UE 4.14+ only)

-Complete blueprint integration - all variables can be read and changed.

-No hardcoded parameters.

-Includes bonus plugin - very simple raycast landing gear

-Source code included.

-Example project included.
