ThrustCurve.com recent issues

[cichlidgoob]

I have been using ThrustCurve successfully for a while but about a week ago I was no longer able to match motors to my rockets. I choose match a rocket and then the next screen pops up and then I hit submit - but nothing happens. Is anyone else having a similar issue?

When I hit submit, this is the URL: https://www.thrustcurve.org/motors/guide.html?rocket=5fd564787a820000046c8eca

Here is a screenshot after I hit submit. You can see the submit button is dim and no longer able to be clicked, and the reset button does nothing in this state.

I just tried it. It looks like it doesn't like your input on the velocity.
I changed it it 33.5 and it works fine.

Good catch! Now the question is how that odd number got there. I suspect it's a conversion from 15 m/s due to the unit selection of "mph." Let me make sure this is handled more gracefully.

That’s it. When I change that value it works.

Thank you!

I also just changed it to create a better default when "mph" is the selected unit (34mph).

What I don't understand is why you didn't get the error feedback. When I try to enter a number with too many digits, I see this (in Chrome):

I get the error now but I certainly did not before. Your recent change defaults an acceptable value now and also gives an error when I go to more than one decimal place.
