This is a blueprint template for a controllable helicopter meant for multiplayer games. It has working HUD, wheels, steering, brakes, shock absorbers, animated rotors, dust particle effects, sounds, and full physics replication in a blueprint-only template.

The physics simulation includes many features that can be tweaked to make the helicopter easier to fly or more realistic, including pitch and roll correction, automatic re-orienting toward direction of travel (directional stability), effective translational lift (ETL), and the “ground effect” cushion force. The default settings feel more or less like helicopters from the Battlefield series.
