Change value of gravity in environment

Question

What's your question?

Any way to change the value of gravity in the environment state

The airsim client has a method to retrieve the current environment state - https://microsoft.github.io/AirSim/api_docs/html/index.html#airsim.types.EnvironmentState

Any way we can change this in real-time or before we enable the client ? Say I want to change the value of gravity to some other value.

Hi and welcome @harshitsankhla! We don't have an API to accomplish that. You will need to change the AirSim code. Here you can find the place where the gravity is calculated. It can be interesting to have setters for the environments; you can submit a pull request.

Hi! Thanks for getting back on this. Would love to work on a PR if this can be a useful feature for others as well. I will post updates here.
