Introduction

The wiki documentation contains basic information covering the XVP plugin installation and configuring a new vehicle model.

Component and parameter descriptions are in comments in the source code. In addition, the Unreal Engine editor generates tooltips based on the comments.

The descriptions are supplemented gradually.

Getting started

1. Plugin integration guide
2. Step by step from an empty map to a drivable vehicle
3. Configuring a new vehicle model
4. Configuring a traffic lights system (XAI plugin only)
5. Conversion of physical units

Third party assets

The XVP plugin does not come with 3rd party assets. Below is a list of external assets that you can use to recreate the XVP demo:

1. Urban City (UE Marketplace)
2. Meadow - Environment Set (UE Marketplace)
3. Realistic Car HD 01 (Unity Asset Store)
