An open-source Godot project presenting quadcopter flight physics, swarm formations, waypoint autopilot, and OpenXR VR.

Landing page captured for the 2026-09-26 issue.

For: Godot developers and drone-simulation enthusiasts
Worth noticing: Swarm mode uses edge detection on a supplied PNG or 3D model to place drones along its outline.

Field notes

The page describes four separate flight modes: single-drone manual control, a 39-drone boids swarm, waypoint autopilot, and OpenXR VR. It says the swarm can trace a PNG or 3D model after edge detection, while wind is modeled in fast, medium, and slow turbulence layers. The project is presented as a Godot 4.6 source project, with Docker support for headless use and downloads linked for Windows, Linux, and macOS.
