I appreciate the quality audio, the good pace, and the explanations of each step. This is very high quality and a well thought out tutorial :)

[@ExistentialPineapple]

Immaculately presented tutorial! Everything was clear, concise, to the point and there were no pauses or stutters. Everything was explained well and I managed to keep a walking pace with the video which I thouroughly enjoyed. Thank you so much for dedicating your time to teaching, it means alot to people like me who are still learning things and needing a hand from time to time.

[@HasimFN]

Your work is quality man. Great job

[@soghae1820]

Bro this video is like exacly what i need for my game. I m SOOOO thankfull to you for this video.

[@Someone-lg6di]

Nice Tutorial realy easy to understand (to be honest I wanted to be able to recreate the jet movement in BF3/BF4 considering how responsive Battlefront 2 flying was.)

[@real_unreal9644]

Thank you so much for your tutorial. Its reeally easy to understand. Keep it up!

[@issamaf80]

Awesome tutorial i was looking to do something like this for my game few days ago thanks you.

[@TJMillard]

Fantastic tutorial. Thank you.

[@cyborgo6236]

Amazing tutotial, 10/10

[@DonEsteban3D]

cool! thx My little suggestion for future content is: Tank controls (without gear suspencions) just nice acceleration and momentum of inertia & independent turret control. And maybe some shooting :D

[@florencepapillon]

Great tutorial, thanks for making it.

[@StephenHarperRaptagon]

I don't need this right now, but one day I will. Thank you for the tutorial!

My friends: *Playing video games* Me: Imagine not having a Jet. Nah but seriously, 'Preciate the hell out of you. I don't even have plans for a Jet but I just thought it'd be fun to learn a few things. You make it extremely easy for someone new to UE4 to follow along.

Nice bro!💪💪💪💪

[@smittsluchianoTV]

im aware this is a bit old now but im working this with unreal engine 5 and it is a bit tricky since 5 has some more options now but my god this tutorial is super helpful ive had plans for a game for a long time and i just couldnt find any free tutorials of flight mechanics that i can improve on over time one question tho id love to snag that map file for as u did just to test out how it goes

[@proven22x52]

Very nice 👍

[@racerx1777]

bookmarked!!! thank you

[@davidmistoffelees8459]

you can just select all the meshes in the browser then drag them to the blueprint tab and after a second the screen will change to the blueprint and you can just drop all of the selected meshes in the blueprint... you dont have to duplicate and set each mesh specifically...

[@razzor4708]

is is a good idea to use jet hull as static single mesh for physics and collision, and attached above it a skeletal mesh of full aircraft and animate it - like landing gears for example,to implement basic landing?

[@NIKSBR]

Great tutorial..!! Thanks a lot.. can we make it take off from ground Runway or VTOL function to this? I wish to make VR Flight simulator , but from startup sequence .. But this is starts up mid air ..

[@alexstefanski1532]

tell me how best to make the dependence of the direction of movement of an aircraft with vertical take-off engines from the rotation of these engines?

[@AlasDev]

very usefull tutorial, i have only one question tho: did u make the model parts by yourself or u downloaded from somewhere else? if so could u give me the website link? thanks in advance

[@jamiemead9263]

@Reids Channel This is realy great Tutorial :D. I am attempting to make a flying game in unreal myself and I was just wondering If you used a C++ project or blueprint and also wanted to know in depth how you setup the sockets on the model. (I've been trying to learn unreal so that would be great thanks and this did help me alot but just a few queries).

[@user-ml4kj8sb9p]

I need to know about sockets too =(

[@ProjectShinkai]

Wow this look interesting

[@user-qt5vt6mx7w]

thanks

[@gamingunleashed549]

hey is there any chance that I can use this method but can I skip the static meshes part instead use skeletal or joint of my mesh for retargeting and can make a video about how to add audio stuff to the jet

[@vincentlomascolo]

This is an awesome tutorial, thank you so much for sharing! I do have one question though. How does one go about setting up/adding the sockets, for the ailerons, flaps, elevators, and rudders on a model that doesn't already have them. I have been following along with your tutorial with the model that you provided, but I also have some other jet models that I would like to apply the same process to, and I can't find any documentation on setting up sockets.

[@ReidsChannel]

In the static mesh editor inside of unreal, on the bottom right corner you can add sockets to a model

[@vincentlomascolo]

@@ReidsChannel Perfect, thank you!

[@ExistentialPineapple]

I know I'm a little late to the party here, but I'm pretty sure you can use a 3D modelling software like blender or maya to add bones to certain locations which can be imported as sockets on the model. Just helps you get a bit more precision

[@vladimirharamincic3887]

wait so im making a space game can you control plane movement with mouse as well? Im lacking that in my game this tutorial seems to have that am i wrong? Oh and by the way you posted this video on my birthday so thx :) I am also going to credit all tutorial videos from everyone i learn part of thing that i need.

[@thothheartmaat2833]

i just need to know how forward movement works so my crow will keep gliding and quit stopping and standing in the air.. i have a fully playable crow character...

Is it possible to add a shooting System to it? Minigun or something Can you add a First Person mode too? Toggle between First and Third Person

[@herodev7772]

hi mate, thanks a lot for this tutorial! can you make a take off, can you make a take off and landing system for the plane please? It is something that I cannot find anywhere, and I need it since I am developing a battlefield style game (Where you can get on and off the plane.)

[@ReidsChannel]

Hey :) Hmm possibly. I'll consider extending upon this tutorial in the future to add more features like landing and taking and off but not promises. I have a few other tutorials I'd like to get to.

Was anyone able to get the Niagra thrusters effects to work in 4.26.2? The thruster speed isn't influencing the effect whenever I speed up or down. I've re-watched the third tutorial a few times and have tried increasing the values of the Point Attraction Force, but nothing seems to work.

[@WreckedEm]

Hey man. I am really new to Unreal Engine (literally started two weeks ago) and am trying to make something of a space flight sim, and your tutorial helped me out a great deal with ship movement/flight controls. I was just wondering though (and if it's mentioned in part 3 I apologize I haven't gotten to that part yet) - but do you know of a simple way with your BP setup that I could make my ship bank x-degrees when I strafe? (Figured out how to add strafing movement and I can't explain how proud of myself I was haha) Thank you for your work dude, it helped so much.

[@goozjeesh46]

mhm

[@ordermorehours]

@@goozjeesh46 great answer.

[@goozjeesh46]

@@ordermorehours thank you. i spent so long thinking about how i could answer that. i appreciate that you think my answer was good.

[@xXrandomryzeXx]

The flaps arent used in combination wth the elevator nor do they do the aame thing. They are used to create more lift so the plane can fly at lower speeds and such.

[@magnum164]

You are correct, although it depends on the plane configuration. Flaperons and Elevons both extend the use of flaps to assist either the ailerons or elevators. So it depends a lot of the plane configuration, Delta Configuration or other. That is what I am trying to account for in implementation of this type tutorial making the Blueprint workable for several configurations.

[@hellatze]

dude. is there a way for fighter to land ? or using landing gear ?

[@racerx1777]

how did you create the sockets to line up perfectly in UE4? did you assign them in blender then import into ue4? can you explain that socket process? i know of the blender > UE4 tools

[@ReidsChannel]

I didnt make this model so im not sure exactly how he did it. it was made in maya though, thats all i know

[@recklessgames2433]

when i try drag the files in it just shows a x in a circle icon when i am hovering over it with the files :((

[@peterkovacik7573]

Hi, I'm new to the unreal engine, but I'd like to add broom flying to my project. Is it possible to replace the jet plane with a broom and a rider?

[@DaanOnlineGaming]

If you have a model with a broom and a rider you can probably do that

[@jacobschannel]

Any word on how to make this work with multiplayer?

[@KvltKommando]

can this tutorial be modified to do a propeller plane?

[@SalahTube0]

Can u do a tutorial on how to get and drive the plane in third person template? Like getting in the plane and driving it?

[@ReidsChannel]

ill consider this for the future

[@SimianLive]

if you check out his helicopter video u can piece together how to do it, but het jas no wheels/landing gear so it will be laid on the ground at start and then it shoots off once you get speed over gravity

I'm using my own mesh, and wonder where your sockets come from? Can you import Maya joints as sockets?

[@ReidsChannel]

Hey, you can create a locator in Maya and export it as a socket like so: -create a Locator in Maya -by default the locator is created at origin (0,0) -Move the locator to where you want to have the socket at (DO NOT FREEZE TRANSFORMS ON THE LOCATOR) -name the locator "SOCKET_socket_name" no quotes and SOCKET has to be in all caps followed by an underscore -select it with the mesh and export it with the FBX

thanks for this tutorial from south korea can i ask something about this 3:57 ? what is those red point?? is that rig?? or other thing ? if it is rig from maya or 3ds max , it that like set drven key ?

[@ReidsChannel]

They are called Sockets in Unreal Engine. I don't think they're really part of the "Rig" since this isn't a skeletal mesh it's just a static mesh. But they are kind of likes bones in the sense that they have a transform and move with the model. They were added in Maya by an artist. I'm not 100% what he did to add them to the model but in Maya I know that they're called Locators.

Yes you certainly could do that as well! Both way would work, it's just a matter of preference.
