Hi guys, I would like to build my own drone for use with AirSim. So do you have some recomendation specs for drone building to work good with AirSim?

Do you mean like an actual physical drone? Or building a model in UE or Unity?

Hi, I mean actual physical drone. In ue4 I have constructed several models. But how I will put this into practice? May be here exists the best practice or tutorial to construct real drone to use with airsim?

There is a small Readme for using Real Drones, doesn't have any info regarding the actual physical parameters of the drones, from the image looks like a normal F450 frame Though am not sure how does the physical characteristics of the drone matter between AirSim and the real drone, all the low-level control would be taken care of by the firmware. Unless it's something like an RL-based approach to fly the drone with it directly driving the motors.

I actually wanted to use airsim to control a model of a drone that I made with Autodesk inventor, but UE4 crashes each time I try to run AirSim with it. Are there any particular settings required?
