Decision brief

Open source simulator for autonomous vehicles using Unreal Engine and Unity from Microsoft AI & Research, focusing on autonomous vehicle behavior with deep reinforcement learning capabilities.

Good fit when

When you need to simulate environments built specifically within the Unreal Engine or Unity game engines.
Ideal for scenarios requiring cross-platform compatibility with comprehensive support for both Windows and Linux platforms.

Avoid when

If your project requires simulation within a different game engine not supported by AirSim, such as CryEngine or Godot.
When cross-platform flexibility is less of a priority compared to other specific requirements like performance optimization exclusive to one operating system.

Requirements:: Supports Unreal Engine or Unity for simulation environments.
