====== Arma 3 Flight Model Graph Tool ======

This guide explains how to build and tune Arma 3 PlaneX/basic flight model config values with the RKSL Flight Model Graph Tool.

The tool is designed for addon makers who need to see how ''envelope[]'', ''thrustCoef[]'', control authority arrays, drag coefficients, altitude limits, and landing values work together before exporting a config snippet.

===== What the tool does =====

  * Imports an aircraft config snippet or starts from a BIS aircraft preset.
  * Draws the main PlaneX graph arrays as editable speed curves.
  * Lets the user drag graph points vertically to rewrite the matching array values.
  * Shows derived stall, thrust, drag, climb, and control authority views.
  * Exports a clean config snippet for the tuned class.

===== What the tool does not replace =====

The tool is a tuning assistant. It does not replace in-game testing, resolved inheritance checks, Geometry LOD mass checks, or final config validation.

Keep these three things separate while tuning:

  * Extracted game config values.
  * Tool-only estimates and graph overlays.
  * In-game calibration changes made after flight testing.
