This update introduces the first major feature built on the new architecture: the Scarab now has a conventional flight mode. You can now switch from VTOL to wing-borne flight and back again. Getting this to work required a deep refactor of the project’s core. I’ve moved all the gameplay logic to Unreal Engine 5’s Gameplay […]
Every complex project eventually reaches a point where its foundation must evolve to support new ambitions. For this flight simulator, that moment has arrived.I’m excited to share the results of a major architectural overhaul – transforming the project from a functional prototype into a dynamic, modular, and future-proof core. Focus: From Monolith to Modularity The

Focus: Full 6 Degrees of Freedom Control in VTOL! This update brings a major milestone — VTOL flight now fully supports all 6 degrees of freedom!You can now truly feel the aircraft’s behavior in every axis — pitch, roll, yaw.To make this possible, the Euler angle calculations were replaced with quaternions, fixing the long-standing gimbal
I’ve added the option to disable VTOL auto-leveling — that means you can now turn off stabilization on Pitch, Roll, and Yaw.⚠️ Important: When flying the Scarab, please note that with stabilization disabled, the aircraft’s behavior becomes highly unpredictable due to its layout with only two side engines. Use this mode at your own risk.
