Why we like it

Stands out in the superhive library for bundling formation flight physics, a maneuver sequencer, and dynamic camera rigs into a single Blender add-on, with a built-in models library and documentation included.

What is Flight Stunt Show Generator?

Flight Stunt Show Generator is an animation add-on for Blender built to automate the choreography of synchronized aerial displays, stunt routines, and multi-aircraft formations. It combines formation flight physics with keyframe baking, letting animators generate realistic flight paths, coordinated turning, wind turbulence, and dynamic camera movements.

Flight paths can be bound to standard curves drawn in the viewport or generated automatically, while a maneuver sequencer arranges displays step by step through a dedicated stunt list editor covering straight passes, rolls, loops, Immelmann turns, split-s maneuvers, and stall turns. An aerodynamic banking solver calculates roll angles from plane speed and turn radius, and dynamic camera rigs create chase, ground, wing, and cockpit views with vibrations keyframed from centripetal and tangential G-forces. Interactive proximity warnings scan trajectories for close encounters and flag crossover conflicts with 3D indicators.

The package includes the complete add-on codebase supporting Blender 4.2 and Blender 5.x, a built-in models library with fighter jet and paper plane samples, and documentation covering custom curve path binding and sequence editing. It is released under the GPL license and listed here as free.

Frequently asked questions

Does Flight Stunt Show Generator work with Blender 5.x?

Flight Stunt Show Generator ships as a complete add-on codebase supporting Blender 4.2 and Blender 5.x, and the listing notes compatibility with Blender versions 5.0 through 5.2. It installs as a Blender add-on and is marked as Blender Extension compatible. For confirmation of support for the exact build you are running, check the developer's page. The included documentation provides a setup guide that walks through custom curve path binding and sequence editing to help you get started once it is installed.

What maneuvers can the sequencer in Flight Stunt Show Generator create?

Flight Stunt Show Generator arranges displays through a maneuver sequencer with a dedicated stunt list editor, letting you build a routine step by step. The supported maneuvers include straight passes, rolls, loops, Immelmann turns, split-s maneuvers, and stall turns. Alongside sequencing, an aerodynamic banking solver calculates banking roll angles based on plane speed and turn radius, with an adjustable banking sensitivity control to tune the result. Together these let you assemble coordinated aerial routines inside Blender.

Does Flight Stunt Show Generator come with aircraft models?

Flight Stunt Show Generator includes a built-in models library with sample aircraft, specifically fighter jets and paper planes, so you can begin animating immediately. Beyond the bundled samples, the add-on offers flexible model loading: it can generate procedural stunt planes, import models from the built-in library, or link to manually appended objects directly from the outliner. This gives you a few routes to populate a scene, whether you use the provided models or bring in your own aircraft.

How does Flight Stunt Show Generator create flight paths?

Flight Stunt Show Generator creates flight paths in two ways: you can bind them to standard curves drawn in the Blender viewport, or have the add-on generate trajectories automatically. Once paths are set, it combines formation flight physics with keyframe baking to produce flight paths, coordinated turning, and wind turbulence, and it can flag close encounters between aircraft using interactive proximity warnings with 3D indicators. The included documentation covers custom curve path binding to guide this part of the setup.

Is Flight Stunt Show Generator free, and what license does it use?

Flight Stunt Show Generator is listed as free in this catalog and is released under the GPL license. Pricing and licensing terms can change, so check the developer's page for current details before you download. The package bundles the complete add-on codebase, the built-in models library with fighter jet and paper plane samples, and documentation covering custom curve path binding and sequence editing, so everything needed to start choreographing flight displays arrives in one download.
