What is XVP?

eXpansive Vehicle Physics (XVP) is a plugin for Unreal Engine (4 and 5) that offers realistic vehicle physics simulation, intuitive vehicle configuration tools, and several ready-to-use vehicle templates. The system was designed to achieve optimal performance for AI traffic and support networked multiplayer. XVP also comes with video tutorials and documentation that will help you get started quickly.

 

The package is in an early access beta stage!

Training Simulators

Develop training simulations for civil and military vehicles

  • Light and heavy vehicles with attachments
  • Realistic driving experience (road and off-road)
  • High-fidelity vehicle telemetry (for motion platforms)

Research Testbeds

Validate new vehicle designs and research autonomous vehicles

  • Realistic vehicle parameters (standard units)
  • High-frequency real-time simulation (100+ Hz)
  • Communication API

Immersive Games

Make engaging games with realistic vehicle driving experience

  • Adjustable level of detail (AI vehicles)
  • Interaction with dynamic objects
  • Interaction with dynamic terrain

Demo

XVP powers eXpanSIM which is available on Steam. eXpanSIM currently offers a variety of vehicles, including cars, trucks, and armoured vehicles.

Steam Early Access

Original Solution

XVP incorporates original ideas and solutions that have been developed over the years to give you a universal and practical tool for creating realistic vehicle simulations.

All-in-one Package

XVP is an extension of the Unreal Engine editor and the physics simulation. It does not require external software or additional libraries. Tight integration with Unreal Engine allows you to achieve the best performance and do all the work in one place.

Vehicle Creator

XVP offers a set of visual editor tools that allow you to build any vehicle from blocks – configure the structure of the body and assemble the powertrain elements. In the package, you will also find ready-to-use vehicle templates that are based on real-world vehicles of various types.

License Plans

XVP is available for enterprise customers. It includes access to the source code and dedicated support. Our development team can customise the package for your needs. In the future, a basic version of the plugin will be on the Unreal Engine Marketplace.
