How to simulate a REAL-LIFE 3D drone using Unreal Engine (Ubuntu 22.04, AirSim, PX4, QGroundControl)

Hello everyone. This video demonstrates the steps for setting up a real-world environment and a 3D drone simulation in Unreal Engine 4.27. I'm running Ubuntu 22.04, but any other operating system should work just fine. You can do similar things on Windows as well, but you will need to know how to work with WSL/WSL2 for the PX4 part.
