This document provides an overview of creating a flight game from scratch in UE4. It covers setting up the plane, checkpoint system, world building, lighting, importing assets, and extending blueprints with C++. The second part details the art pipeline, materials, lighting, foliage, importing models and textures. The third part discusses adding particles, sounds, menus, and packaging the finished game. The goal is to walk through building a basic but complete toy plane game from start to finish using UE4.
