Flyout is an early-access title centered around building and flying aircraft with realistic aerodynamics and propulsion systems on a full-scale planet. In this series, I aim to help new players or people interested in the game understand its systems and how to improve their builds.
Part 1 of this series is an introduction to building. After this video, the viewer should understand how to use the craft editor, and the tools required to build a simple fixed-wing aircraft.

lmao who here immediately after release
I am bro I can't wait to get off work today
Yep lol
Me 😂
Same
Yup lmao
Very helpful, Thank you! I can't wait for the game to launch so I can make my Super Phantom!
i think the people who made the stock F-42 beat you to it…
Bro this week has been the longest week of my life, as I have been watching m 82s vids from when he started flyout and that's been like I think a year
I’m sure that your week is a lot better now that it’s finally released
Been waiting for a tutorial video, very well made. Keep it up!
Thank you so much, this tutorial was so comprehensive, and now I understand how to make aircraft. It's a lot easier than I expected!
Man, I’m so excited for this game! I’ve got an essay written out of all the crazy ideas I can make!
Thank you so much for putting your effort and time to teach us
Seriously you saved my life with this
Learned a whole bunch within the first 2 minutes... Thank you 👍
so helpful thank you very much and the words you said at the end were inspiring
This comes across as pretty intuitive which is nice for all the newbies like me waiting for the game XD
ThNk you for the video especially as the game released today
This game has a huge potential! I’m very excited to get my hands on it the day it’s released.
the day has come brother !
i just got it and have been trying to make a plane but none of the little circles appear when i try to do cross section editing and my fuselage piece isn't there
thanks for this
very good
Thanks for this tutorial! Ngl this tutorial is very close to that of the game Sprocket!
I built something i called the "Apollo" was built during this tutorial. It is a coldwar delta wing fighter bomber, single engine, nuclear capable, and medium weight.
Did it work?
This is super helpful! I especially appreciate the part where you showed camera sensitivity, because the actual settings in the menu didn't have anything for it. I just got flyout last night, so thanks man
Todays the day🎉🎉🎉
We are so back
Hey, Firstly this video really helped me get started, is there a video on your channel that talks bout assigning control surfaces with their appropriate controls? i seem to have some struggle with making a nose wheel work with yaw input, and when pressing 'Q' it just closes the nosewheel
Not yet, but I plan on covering it. It will likely be a over a month away so I recommend asking in one of the help channels in the flyout discord.
im predicting a spike in views since the release of flyout
Very helpful!
Can you actually see or locate the CG and Center of Mass etc? Before flying?
The center of mass is visible at all times in the editor (depicted by the black and yellow centroid).
@@TheWanderer05I’ve seen. But I mean, the others (CoL/CoM that shift places by different wings, locations configurations)..
The CoM will shift around as you add new parts. There is no center of pressure/lift marker in the editor, as it is dynamic and shifts around during flight as you maneuver.
for some reason the cross section editor doesnt seem to work for me, i cant drag verticies around and i cant use any tools. Any idea why?
Yo thanks dude, really helps. I don't see the landing gear retract option in the controls menu, do you know how you would set that input?
For a landing gear part, there's an input field near the bottom for retraction. In the response section, put the 'landing gear' input in, and set it to 1.
@@TheWanderer05 Ohhh, I see, thanks. Also, is there a way to get more than 3 materials? I don't see any pluses or anything like that in that tab.
@@jerzysuchenek264 No, it's limited to 3.
@@TheWanderer05 I see, thanks
Nice vid! Is this a lansen you made?
Nope, just a generic subsonic combat aircraft. Some of my color schemes do take after some Swedish liveries, though.
Loving this! How do you delete anything like a fuselage section???
As in the actual part, or one of the cross section loops?
I think he means the actual part, as there is no clear indication of how to do this! @@TheWanderer05
@@Sam-nt6mh In that case, it is done with the up arrow at the bottom of the screen with a part selected. Once the part has been lifted, click the red bin.
Nice ! now that it's out, i can finally spend 600 hours on this gem :D
If developped well enough in the future, this game could basically end MSFS, X-plane and DCS in one shot.
No need to wait 5 years for a module. Sure, it's not going to be as good as something like a Heatblur module, but so far the flight model feels good and we can create anything.
Not a flight-sim ender, probably it will just be a simpleplanes killer
Loved the tutorial but how do I add more vertices in the cross section editor?
You can't. Use the different-numbered fuselage parts instead.
Hello, I commented on a earlier video from around a year ago but I think it might get better to you this way. For your Ace combat 6 all secrets run, we’re you able to get special profile picture?
Yes, it was the Garuda emblem. CZcams doesn’t seem to give me comment notifications on my phone, so sorry for missing your question on the Chandelier video.
@@TheWanderer05 no you didn’t miss it I just made it and then made the is one shortly after. But is the profile picture only a Xbox 360 thing? If yes would it be possible to get it still if I had a 360?
@@Blackmail450I believe so.
@@TheWanderer05 yep I was able to get it, thank you and keep up the good videos 👍
11:32 so maybe the function wasn't in the game 2 months ago but with the 'twist' option (on both root and tip) you can generate lift without aoa (if it works properly)
If you use twist, you’re giving that section of the wing aoa.
@@TheWanderer05 Oh yeah, my bad, I said aoa and guess I could've meant no climb angle but that's different to what I said
does anyone know why my wing wont show on both side of my planes when i try to place em ? Like the symmetry doesn't work i believe
If you join the discord link in the description we can try to help you out since we'll be able to see what's going on
How do you mirror a duplicated part? Wings, Horizontal Stabilizers etc? Am excited about this, however at this point of time, lack of basic options like undo, as well as a lack of explanation of the tools make it difficult for a new user.
There’s a symmetry option on the bottom right of the editor. Just remember that global vs local mode affects what its center is.
My plane drifts severely to one side ion the runway, any fix for that? Its completely symmetrical.
There are two possibilities here. The first is that you're experiencing crosswind (watch part 2 - intro to flying). The 2nd is that your gear legs are angled out too much, which can lead to some physics oddities due to the increased axial force required to keep the plane supported. Would recommend decreasing the gear angle to 40 degrees or less in that case.
I've watched this video countless times. It's been a week and I still haven't got one of my planes flying yet. It's going to happen. It's going to be ugly. It's not going to fly well. Yet I'm having a blast.
If you want any help, the Flyout discord server has some channels for it
I can’t get any of my control surfaces to move at all, is there anything I’m missing? I did set up the trailing edge. But messing with the pushrods or soft joint options don’t help much either
Did you add pitch, roll, or yaw response to them?
@@TheWanderer05 I originally thought the rates were that but I figured it through some trial and error eventually. Did you have to set one aileron to a negative response? For them to turn properly?
@@carterscoconuts6224 one of them should be negative, yes. If you hit the “set mirror” button it’ll do that automatically.
@@TheWanderer05 nice thank you. I never realized that there was mirror button either which makes things easier
the part where you shape the hole for the cockpit dosent work for me for some reason
That segment is a little outdated. You need to use the 3D vertex sliding mode at the bottom of your screen to do that. I plan on making a 2nd part of this video with all the editor updates since I made this video.
i cant seem to shift points backwards or forward anymore? anyone know how to do this in the newer update?
The keybind for it is gone now that the 3D vertex editor has been implemented. At the bottom of your screen in the CSE select the "Vertex" mode and you will be able to move the vertices along all three axes.
@@TheWanderer05 thanks!
good tutorial, but for me sliding points with z and x doesnt do anything. was it removed or something?
Yes. Now, you need to use the "Vertex" mode at the bottom of the screen and slide them with the move tool. I'll make an update to this video when I'm done with the next one.
How do you add weight to the plane without fuel tanks? Even though my wings are very far back, the engine is insanely heavy and center of mass is where the engine is...
You could use a battery or swing joint as ballast but that usually isn't great practice. What style of plane is it? You might just need to move the engine forward a bit
@@TheWanderer05 My plane looks almost like an F18 just with one engine. It shouldnt really be tail heavy. I made the engine smaller and put a cube in front. Its better now and flies quite well :)
You can change the skin thickness of different parts to add/move weight.
im very confused at 6:55, when i try to do that to make hole it dosent work
Yeah this video is a few months out of date. Instead you have to switch to "Vertex mode" on the bottom of your screen and move the nope by selecting it in 3D space. I'll make an addendum to this video once I'm done with the piston engine video.
ok thanks@@TheWanderer05
Could you show how to set up control surfaces it won’t work
I plan on covering the input system after the next video. For now, you'll want to go to a control surface and in the responses, the number you put in is the number of degrees you want the surface to deflect. Keep in mind your range fields should usually be capable of deflecting to whatever amount you put in the response field.
@@TheWanderer05 oh ok thank you man 😊
how do you make it balanced. my plane just flies straight up and starts flipping. help
Usually that happens when your center of pressure is in front of your center of mass; try moving your wings back a little, or making your horizontal stabilizer larger. Stone is working on a rough indicator of where the center of pressure is so look forward to that.
that's awesome news, finally it wont be such a pain to make a craft fly@@TheWanderer05
Is there a Undo bouton?
Nope.
the game is out now
so is it like sprocket but for aircraft?
that's a good comparison, yeah
@@TheWanderer05 im sold on it then put it on the wishlist lol
@@F34R- It's out now. I got it for same reason (love sprocket),
I just got the game and every time I try and use a tool to manipulate fuselage nodes it deselects them and does nothing?
If it was the straighten tool, you have to hold shift while you use the slider. Idk why it does that but it's the only one that behaves that way
Thank you
The “assign material” tab does not show up for me, is there any way that you could help with this.
It should appear on the left after you open the fuselage editor from the pane on the right when you have a fuselage selected.
I did
@@michellegingraux8856 Does the button for it not show up at all?
@@TheWanderer05 No it doesn’t
@@michellegingraux8856 If you join the Flyout discord server linked in the description we can take a look and see what's going on
I wonder if it works well on steam deck?
Believe it or not, someone did get the editor working on Steam Deck. I have no idea how the controls were, or if flight mode worked, though.
7:00, the Z and X keys don't do anything for me.
Yeah this video's a little dated. That feature isn't implemented anymore, and instead you need to use the Vertex mode (bottom of your screen) to move them in 3D. My next video will cover all of the new features the editor has gotten since this one.
@@TheWanderer05 Ah thanks! I saw that but I wasn't sure if I could still use Z/X
9:45 purely cosmetic? so the 'hole' doesn't let air through??? dafuq
Cosmetic in the sense that you don’t need them for the engine to function.
No undo 😭
If you know how to play ksp your good except for some things
this shit still makes no sense
What are you having trouble with?
@@TheWanderer05 I was having trouble with shaping fuselages. The first plane I tried to make was a double engine which might have been a little too.complicated. I might wait till it comes out of early access and there is a tutorial
@@liamwhelan7112 understandable. If it helps, you could also take a look at how the stock aircraft are shaped.
Bad tutorial
Could you elaborate on what should be improved?
Sorry about that, I just downloaded flyout and was overwhelmed and confused. I'm beginning to understand a little bit more, so I'm rewatching the video rn.@@TheWanderer05
I think it might've been helpful to include information on ailerons, rudders, and elevators@@TheWanderer05
@@icymastergod3339 No worries, it's a complex game with a ton of options. If you need help, the discord server is linked in the description. We have instructors there that can assist in the help channels with whatever you need.
@@icymastergod3339 I was planning to cover control surfaces and wings in a later video. This one was just meant to go over the editor features so I left that out. I believe Messier82 is working on a quickstart guide of sorts, so look forward to that soon.
