Rescale the AR Drone object in UNreal Engine

[Moj-Dev]

How can I rescale the quadrotor(player) object's size in Unreal Engine?

Hi @Moj-Dev, the simplest way I found to rescale AirSim's quadrotor in the Blocks environment (I'm pretty sure doing this with a custom environment would be similar too) would be to edit the BP_FlyingPawn asset by:

1. Going to the contents folder in the UE editor's content browser:
   
2. Doubleclicking on AirSimAssets:
   
   This will open the AirSimAssets 'level':
   
3. Now click on click on Edit BP_FlyingPawn under the World Outliner:
   
4. This will open the default BP_FlyingPawn asset (which is actually located under Plugins\AirSim\Content\Blueprints):
   
5. From there, click on viewport:
   
   
6. Then you click on the drone's body (ie: select the bodymesh):
   
   
7. You can then scale it up or down in X and/or Y and/or Z:
   
   
   (the props and cameras will scale up/down accordingly as far as i remember)
   Then you save, compile and run your simulation (to go back to the main AirSim level in Blocks that you need to run (ie: not AirSimAssets) go to the FlyingCPP folder in the content browser then the Maps folder and double-click the FlyingExampleMap level):
   

Hope this helps ^_^
