nah bro youre A fucking god
You're the real mvp my dude ;)
Love your tutorials keep them up
I've been looking all over and tried numerous tutorials for a flight/space sim and yours was the best and most straightforward! So many of them are overly complicated but I appreciated your straightforward approach!
You always cover the type of stuff that nobody else covers and I love it! Keep it up!
Dude, that center piece cube is genius
Thanks! It's a great workaround for limitations on the posable mesh
Wow. This is an incredible tutorial. I'm trying to build a flight sim, and this is exactly the kickstart I needed. Thank you so much for this!
I actually came here just to see how you applied rotation for a physics based aircraft, as I had a ton of trouble correctly rotating my physics helicopter and I just couldn't figure it out. I never knew the "Negate Vector" node was a thing, and it instantly solved my issue of not being able to counteract the torque I applied to my helicopter. Thank you so much, you've helped me save hours of work!
I have watched this tutorial like 20 times cause its so useful for lot's of my games. Great tutorial.
Hi, can you help my airplane falls down even I have disabled the gravity and followed all your steps ??
your airplane should fall down when you are not accelerating. if you cannot accelerate you missed a step in the tutorial.
check the nodes and variables again. have you put all the numbers in the lerp and clamp nodes?
@@nijq Did you solve your problem, I got the same !
@@jdvroum Did you solve it? I have this problem too
there's nothing realistic about this but I really thank you for making this video, it help me A LOT. Keep up the good work!!!
Yeah it is a bit stylized ;) Thanks for the kind words! Im so pleased you enjoyed this one :)
Nice Vid, good to see a nice casual vid from good people.
Trying to replicate this with the synty stunt plane... But the propeler just go nuts!
Great video and was helpful, Now I am off to make a proper elevator and aileron system. Being a pilot it hurt to see you use the elevator as both but this works great to show us how to do it in the most simplest way :)
Yeah lol sorry for the inaccuracy! Glad you like the video though :)
Absolutely love your content! Best UE teacher on this site!
Thanks so much! :)
Thank you for answering so many unanswered questions.
Worked perfectly on 4.24 have a lot of fun to play with this functionallity. pretty new to ue4 but this is great.. thanks alot
Thank you very much! After watching over 10 different videos, I finally found the one that helped me create exactly what I was looking for. However, there's just one issue I'm facing. When my ship collides with an object, it either bounces back too forcefully or gets stuck to the other object. Can you please assist me? I'm working on a 6DoF space shooter, and I'd like my ship to have less of a reaction upon collision.
Your tutorial is a life saver lol I've only worked with paper 2d sprites, but this has helped. thank you!
Awesome video man! do you reckon you could do a car one next, with some realistic gear change system or something equivalent? love your work
For sure! I also plan to a do a video on pawn possession so you can get in and out of the car like GTA, stay tuned :)
@@underscore00 oh awesome, exactly what I was looking for, can't wait!
Could you please do Take off and landing for this? Thank you this is Amazing!
Hey Thank You! I am all about flying things in UE4 ! :D
there is some thing wrong in your lerning the elvetor is correct but i think you forgot to learn the aileron
Awesome thanks.. Upgrade this design to a landing and take-off system
Thank you for sharing this Tutorial. It was very helpful and i use this controls for a space ship ;)
Nice! Thanks for dropping by :) Id love to see what youve made, could you send a link to a demo video?
Great video as always!! .. It was perfect, I needed to create some kind of Air control for a vehicle and this tutorial gave me the solution.. thanks!!! :D
Just Awesome. and Thank you beautiful tutorial serials

Many thanks! This tutorial is outstanding!
When's the second landing part coming out? Anyway this one's awesome!Love the rudders
i dont think its ever going to come out.
@@loverschoice885 he Prolly forgot, should comment on his latest video, which he's silent rn
@@nexistudios2466 oh i did like a year ago. Iam just gonna pay someone to do it instead.
@@loverschoice885 xd
That was excellent, thank you.
Can you make an updated tutorial in ue5 using a jet aircraft
I like this approach some. After watching and testing various flight tutorials, this offers a lot of options. Especially when combined with features from the others. However, I have found that "Set Bone Rotation by Name" , specifically in UE5 only works if the XYZ is in alignment with I am assuming root. For instance if you add this to a Aileron that is on a swept wing aircraft the rotation will realign the bone with the root direction and rotation is not in alignment with the swept wing. weird. Need to figure out how to rotate bone or socket first to axis of swept wing.
Hey Randy I'm dealing with this exact problem now, Did you figuire it out?
@@muller_digital yes/no. I did but I have lost all of those files. I have not done programming in a few weeks due to a disability. Time will tell if I can get back to it. But it is just a matter or accessing the bones in a different matter/orientation.
adding torque shakes the plane
17:28 Here is the real issue while using UE4 physics on a plane/jet fight system. Honestly, I have encountered this problem two days ago, and I ended up solving this issue using "advanced" physics that I wrote to replace current Ue4 physics. Well, the main problem is that when you apply anything force/acceleration/torque related, even if you reset the force back to zero, or by applying a "elastic force" (which relatively works like a spring to basically "brings everything back when there is no input"), there always exists your biggest problem called moment of inertia.
I think starting from 17:28 has well explained what I meant by. (e.g., your plane is flying backwards after force/acceleration was applied when turning to an opposite direction.... your velocity still exists and its gonna take a while to deaccelerate it to zero and regain speed in the current direction).
End conclusion is that: if you wanted to fully enable UE4 physics, then you have to calculate/design a completely new physics system, including drag, gravity, lift, trust, and somewhat force/torque from rudder(s) is/are independently calculated other than from ailerons and elevators, (that says you have to differentiate the center of mass from the center of the acceleration, so your plane can actual balance itself), etc.,... In that case, you are technically recreating a DCS. Now another solution is to bypass the acceleration, using delta second multiplying acceleration variable then use it as the speed increment per delta second (e.g., the easiest form it tries to mimic is that x is equal to one half of x double dot times t square, if it x dot starts from zero) then to act on the forward vector in order to create the velocity, hence to mimic the acceleration. Which they all visually "behavior" the same, however, since now you have full control over velocity, you are very well bypassing the existence of moment of inertia caused by any force/acceleration/torque. And yes, in the ladder case, you are basically building a AC or Project Wingman... Hope that may help anyone who spent time reading my comments :)
really nice tutorial!
Thank you! :)
I love it! THIS IS THE BEST TUTORIAL!!!!!!!
Hi plz make a tutorial on weapon attachments ex. Suppressors, forerips, stock etc
Nice! Very helpful. Thank you.
Can you please explain how to set up a model in Blender for import with moving ailerons / flaps / props? Must it be set up as bones? Or a simple mesh with multiple parts and one connects them in UE? Or is there a predecessor video to this?
Idk what part I messed up to make my plane hate me, but after 3 attempts I can't get my plan to fly straight it just hard barrel rolls in every direction until it crashes into the ground.
Could be that your driver doesn't have it's collision set properly - make sure the collision preset is set to PhysicsActor, you have 'Enable Gravity' unchecked, and 'Simulate Physics' checked. Also your poseable mesh should have either no collision or be set to BlockAll.
Let me know if that helps! :)
@@underscore00 Unfortunately nope. I am not 100% sure, I started from scratch in fps a couple times, and another time in 3rd. It's very weird, but yeah they were already set the way. I will try to see if I missed some part of the bp's something small like a similar named node or something.
@@frostshock13 Hey ! I have the same problem . Did you get the solution ?
@@Sweet._.Serenade Unfortunately, I gave up after hours of rewatching and trying different settings and different starting levels (flying,1st,3rd) As cool as it is, i couldn't get it sorted.
@@frostshock13 Oh , Ok
Amazing tutorial! thanks a lot for this ! and the asset are great too!
Legend
I got everything to work my only problem is the plane doesn't move forward
Can you please do a follow up where you cover take off and landing? i know its 4 years later but Im begging bro please, you do it so well
Really nice Video!
Thanks so much! :)
Please make a video on bolt- action sniper rifle that ejects shell by pulling levers
why is it so hard to find a good landing gear tutorial. i just cant get the colliders to retract with the gears while having physics on the plane. do i just replace the entire plane model?
i built a biplane using blender as an fbx export can i use that to fly in unreal as its not showing all components to add in
Hi I know it would be difficult to find the animations but I am very interested in a tutorial on making a root motion third person character
Nice!
Probably easier if you just set the static mesh to "Hidden in game". Also, actual gravity is -980 so it's strange you made yours so high. Otherwise, it's a good start. Should make a follow-up video to handle collision.
Yeah the gravity figure is calculated based on the 'feel' of gameplay and not real-world physics. I wasn't making a realistic simulator :) It would be great to do a follow-up! Ive heard that implementing a good system for take-off and landing, as well as possession, would be a good idea... We'll see ;)
Hi, I found this tutorial interesting. Is there a video where you rig this? I'm trying to rig my model of a custom F22 and would like to know how jets are rigged for Unreal 4
12:25 a vector / a fraction will increase, not decrease the vector.
Really Great!!!Useful!!!Thanks
I've a Problem (of course, VERY GOOD TUT) ... my plane has a big delay of movements... Example: if I press to go left, plane&camera turn, ok, but vector direction velocity still remain the same and aftera lot of time reach the new plane direction. Every movement... How can I set an non-real movement, which follows my movements without lag, delay?
FIXED !!! in Calc Speed > Lerp (Vector) > increasing Alpha value ;-)
i really liked this tutorial, everything working fine but i dont know why my pawn starts to squirrl around like anything when i try to create my own values, even when adjusting just a little bit. soo a lot of respect to you for finding the right values to create this awesome physics..
great video, my problem is that the geometry when creating the animation gets up the other way around in the game. The rudder is inverted, but the animation works
You are the only one who makes things which are necessary, can you also make it that the third person character can enter it
Hi, hope all is good. Well wanted to know that if i do this then i cant make a like taxi and take of moment for the aircraft as it falls through the terrain is their some method where i can like design real life physics mechanism for the aircraft taking off landing and taxing. Thank in advance
anyone have the link to the landing and taking off one - also I need to know how to make it e to fly it
When I rotate Possable Mesh joints using Set Bone Rotation by Name it causes continuous motion blur on the moved part? I'm only call it once by the piece keeps moving what is even causing this?
When i press play my vehicle doesnt move and idk y :( it only rotates
Hey could you help me. The plane throttles down fine but I can’t seem to figure out how to get it to throttle up
I follow all your steps but when I play its go down to floor instantly and when I Left click to 100 the its go stable but not move left or right side. I check plan roll but not move left or right direction.
Wonderful ..
Hey Man, Great video. Can you please make a video about landing and takeoff?
More aircraft tutorials
Hi, could you please make an space ship tutorial withouth physics, to fly a ship through space? similar to recent space games like Everspace.
For sure! I have a few other videos to get to first, but I'll put it on the list :)
@@underscore00 Awesome! Please add speed variations, break, move only when button pressed and side movement.
How do u make the plane shoot projectiles... I tried using the same method I use with normal guns but it doesn't work with airplanes
great! I was just looking for a similar tutorial and you saved me! : D
only one thing. I'm trying to make a shot with the sequencer to render it but, while the front helix is seen to be moving, the wings behind that should move based on the roll and as you get up / down, they stay still. makes the model static when it moves. how can I do? help me please :(
Awesome tutorial ! Im asking , what is the copyright about the plane model ? I have an advanced template now and i would like try to sell it
Thanks for uploading the video!
I'm curious: when you release throttle and turn, the plane keeps going to the direction it was going even though the "nose" isn't pointing to that direction anymore. I achieved the same effect with the setup I made, but...in my case, if I turn and start throttling again, it instantaneously cancels the velocity on the direction the plane was going and feeds a new velocity in the direction the nose is currently pointing rather than slowly fight to cancel the previous force applied and build up velocity in the new direction.
I want to achieve something smooth and similar to reality. Any ideas?
By the way, the Elevators don’t control roll. The roll of the aircraft is controlled by the Ailerons which are on the main wings. I’m confused on why you didn’t animate those separately and how nobody in the comments caught that?
Oops! I guess you can tell that Im not that familiar with aviation. Honestly I thought this kind of plane wouldnt have moving parts on the main wings
underscore All good man. If It didnt then it couldn’t roll.
For people watching now, you have to turn the rotation into a rotator before applying it to the bone.
Good note!
so any advice on resetting the orientations to 0 upon release? my object input (ex: roll) continues indefinitely.
Muy bueno!! Sigue así!
Can you something similar for like a hoverboard, or something that can go from a hovering mode to this plane mode?
HOW to add realistic collision to IT? Just dying to do it
how to make third person drive this plane ?
i know this is an old video but do you happen to know of a tutorial or something for making the ability to land and take off? struggling with that part
Please make a video were you make an AI piloting the plane someware.👍👍👍
Hello, how i can get controls like in hangry dragon with one virtual joystick?
Are chance you can do this with mouse controlling the direction of your plane flying?
hello @underscore, have a question, you plane work with replication please ? Have a nice day
Nice vid but do you start in plane? Would use it if you do not but I can not tell as if right now
Thx Man :)
Gooood 😍😍
Very helpful, though I don't suppose you'd know how to get the plane to naturally nose dive when not accelerating would you? At the moment it just plummets in the same direction it was already going and with the much larger aircraft I'm using it looks pretty odd. I've tried shifting the COM but that only seems to affect it when it's already on the ground.
It's been a while since I've had a look at this, but you could add a slight forward rotation along with the gravity calculation to make the plane behave a bit more realistically with gravity. I haven't tried that myself, but thanks for bringing this up! :)
@@underscore00 Thanks, I'll look into that one
my plane pawn falls through the floor, any way of fixing this??
How would you make a helicopter??
Any chance you can show me how to do this un UE5?
FYI this breaks in UE5 ! Somewhere in the code up to 16:29 mins .
What is the difference between add torque / force / impulse? I see that the torque makes sense for rotations, but if I want to make it move forward I can use all of those or not? (though impulse seems to be not good for ticks according to the editor hint)
Hi, good question! Basically, torque is a persistant force, and impulse is a single thrust.
@@underscore00 Thanks for your quick answer. So I can also basically use add force and torque the same way for a forward movement?
Do you know how to make Spacecraft controller similar to no man's sky?
how much time did you take to learn all the air plane basics?
hey! can you teach a man to fish - Why are we using a cube as the top node and not a capsule or the rigged mesh itself? thanks for anyone that can explain to me :D
Hello cool tutorial! I am having an issue I don' t know if maube is a bug my plane only can roll in left direction
I have my inputs: Z(Roll left) C (Roll right) but plane always rolls on left side?
Any Idea?
Awesome tutorial!
You need to add -1 to one input
