Is there any way to plot the results of using a Chute release that opens at 500 feet, into the simulations for Open Rocket?
Ejection is happening where it should. What I have been doing is using 10% of the wind drift from the result from apogee
to the opening of the chute release, then using 100% of the drift from 50' to ground level.
I expect the bluesrocks meet on Saturday will be canceled or postponed again. The wind on NOAA is showing 15 mph.
It doesn't look like a great day to launch. Hoping the wind will settle down as the forecast comes into focus. I have been
running the sim to see what will happen if the launch stays on.
If what I think will happen, does happen, it would land about 500' downwind after going about 200' upwind.
I edited all masses to be correct with a digital scale.
