Functions

  Type Name Description
Public function Static FName  
Public function float

CalcAngleOfAttackDegrees ( const FVector& UpAxis,
const FVector& InAirflowVector
)

 Angle of attack is the angle between the aerofoil and the airflow vector
Public function float Center of lift moves fore/aft based on current AngleOfAttack
Public function float

CalcDragCoefficient ( float InAngleOfAttack,
float InControlSurfaceAngle
)

 Returns drag coefficient for the current angle of attack of the aerofoil surface
Public function float

CalcDynamicPressure ( float VelocitySqr,
float InAltitude
)

 Dynamic air pressure = 0.5 * AirDensity * Vsqr
Public function float

CalcLiftCoefficient ( float InAngleOfAttack,
float InControlSurfaceAngle
)

 Returns lift coefficient for the current angle of attack of the aerofoil surface Cheating by making control surface part of entire aerofoil movement
Public function FVector  
Public function FVector

GetForce ( const FVector& v,
float Altitude,
float DeltaTime
)

 Returns the combined force of lift and drag at an aerofoil in local coordinates for direct application to the aircrafts rigid body.
Public function void

SetControlSurface ( float CtrlSurfaceInput
)

  
Public function void

SetDensityOfMedium ( float InDensity
)

  

Overridden from ISimulationModuleBase

  Type Name Description
Public function Virtual void Animate/modify the childToParent transforms, to say rotate a wheel, or rudder, etc
Public function Virtual Const TSharedPtr< FModuleNetData >

GenerateNetData ( const int32 NodeArrayIndex
)

 This is the replication datas
Public function Virtual Const const FString Get the friendly name for this module, primarily for logging & debugging module tree
Public function Virtual Const bool Is Module of a specific behavioral data type
Public function Virtual void

Simulate ( float DeltaTime,
const FAllInputs& Inputs,
FSimModuleTree& VehicleModuleSystem
)

 The main Simulation function that is called from the physics async callback thread
