Download Precompiled AirSim

For this tutorial, we will use precompiled Landscape binary. You can also download the binaries for the environment of your choice from the latest release.

• You should have completed the set-up proces

• Go to AirSim latest release and download City.zip.001 and City.zip.002

• Unzip these two files using 7-zip

• Double click CityEnviron.exe to run

  • Choose vehicle and control with keyboards

    

    

Controlling Vehicles

Most of our users typically use APIs to control the vehicles. However if you can also control vehicles manually. You can drive the car using keyboard, gamepad or steering wheel. To fly drone manually, you will need either XBox controller or a remote control (feel free to contribute keyboard support). Please see remote control setup for more details. Alternatively you can use APIs for programmatic control or use so-called Computer Vision mode to move around in environment using the keyboard.

Don't Have Good GPU?

The AirSim binaries, like CityEnviron, requires a beefy GPU to run smoothly. You can run them in low resolution mode by editing the run.bat file on Windows like this:

• run cmd and go to the CityEviron directory

• Type the following to start with low resolution

  start CityEnviron -ResX=640 -ResY=480 -windowed

UE 4.24 uses Vulkan drivers by default, but they can consume more GPU memory. If you get memory allocation errors, then you can try switching to OpenGL using -opengl
