FIN OS Tool

Description
FIN OPEN SOURCE for Garry's Mod!

[github.com]

Release Control/Changes:
FIN OS Tool - GitHub[github.com]

You can find the stand alone tool under: Weapons => Tools => Fin OS Tool

Made from scratch, and based on the modern lift equation: https://wright.nasa.gov/airplane/lifteq.html & ( https://www.grc.nasa.gov/www/k-12/airplane/drageq.html + https://www.grc.nasa.gov/www/k-12/airplane/shaped.html[Airfoil] )

Some user creations Dupes.:
Basic Aircraft By: Me

Quick start:
Left-Click to add two vector points for the forward direction vector. (this should normally be in the direction the creations forward reference is) After that, create the area of the fin. Done. You can also add a flap if you want with ( IN_USE + Left-Click ) on a fin and prop. Reload will remove fin and flap, or flap. Right-Click will track selected fin (real-time physics). ( IN_USE + Sroll Wheel ) will increase/decrease the scalar value of the fin you are looking at. The server admin can adjust server settings with the console variables underneath.

*If you want to have more advanced features, you can use it with WIREMOD, which it supports.



*If you want to make a helicopter, look at one of the pictures or video for ideas - Basically have two separate equally placed fins on each side of a rotating blade.

Controls ( more detailed ):
Left-Click to apply 3 - 26 local origo originated vector points on prop, to get started. This will calculate the area using .5 the length of the cross product for all the triangles.
( IN_USE + Left-Click ) to add a flap. Connect by clicking on the fin/flap and on the flap/fin.
Right-Click to add fin to tracked fin table.
Reload to remove fin or flap from prop.
( IN_USE + SCROLL_WHEEL ) to increase the scalar value. Look at the fin you want to scale up/down.
( IN_USE + MIDDLE_MOUSE ) to open the client settings panel.

Features:
  • Supports duplication
  • Supports clean up
  • Supports SBOX max
  • Some ConVar settings
  • Advanced validity checking of area ( when finos_disablestrictmode == 0 )
  • Supports Wiremod input/output ( Physics => FIN OS Tool )
  • Custom Settings Panel for client ConVars
  • Supports Wind

    **NOTICE: You can adjust most ConVars in the Settings Panel ( "E" + MiddleMouse )

Do the properties of the tool still take effect if the entity is parented?

how make vertical stabilizer???

When it tells you to rotate it with "shift" it mean to hold "shift" + "use/interect key" while holding it with the phys gun. This snaps the prop at 90 degrees.
Twinkletoes Dec 23, 2021 @ 4:27pm 
what does it mean when it says rotate me with e + shift? it keeps preventing me from making a fin and i do it and nothing happens

All wind server limits can now be disabled with: finos_wind_disableAllServerLimits

@FunnelVortex Knots is now an output form for velocity in the fin controller (WireMod) ! 👌
{-§RG§-} ravo  [author] Jun 14, 2021 @ 4:59pm 
New update up and running again! Just some fine tuning - old fin controllers need to be replaced/updated tho. If you want to just try out an aircraft without installing Fin OS Tool, you can subscribe to the duplication above (link) :steamhappy:
