PDF export of both 2D and 3D images...probably worthless but I think it would be nice.

It is possible to type in a number. Just select the a delay, highlight the number and type over it.
I think Uncle Vanya might be on to something. Why not let parts libraries (fin library, parts library, materials library, etc.) be more 'open source' like the thrust curves are?
I guess I'm spoiled on my macintosh... I've been using the print to a pdf to create these kind of images since version 8 came out over three years ago.
I use the images all the time in my newsletters. For example, in the next issue I needed a chart from RockSim. I printed out the chart to a pdf, and then pulled it into Adobe Illustrator to do some editing. It makes for a very crisp image in the newsletter that is much smaller than a jpg image.
Rocksim aside, i think it was a very bad move, especially to those of us who paid for Rocksim, to restrict access to the various Apogee newsletters and rocksim tips / examples. Articles, which i could access for free not too long ago, are now all truncated - instead asking to visit a link to obtain the articles on a CD.
As a rocksim paying customer, this is BS and IMHO a slap in the face as i frequently used those articles to assist in my rocksim simulations / models.
Thats my request.
Put those articles and tutorials back online.
Part 1: What would you like to see as a new feature in a future version of RockSim?
Part 2: What would you be willing to pay for it? (Not the total version of the software, but for that one extra feature.)

I'll lay odds that one or more people here have a full set of copies...
Tim, you have a lot of really great suggestions for things that perhaps do not need to be "built in" to the core (simulation engine, editor, graphing) of rocksim. why not make an open "plugin" interface that can work on the xml and callouts for a few other internals - that's the way to get (uneconomic) features that people want. think of the rocksim "economy", all the feature plug-ins, motor files, parts files ...
I don't recall truncating articles or removing anything from the Apogee Components webs site. Probably what you are looking for is in there if you dig deep; I've put out 220 newsletter and all kinds of other free stuff. So it can be hard to find stuff with so much information available. I marvel at all the free stuff I've given away, especially when I compare it to any other manufacturer.
I hope you're not encouraging copyright violation.
Uh, a lot of (once free) articles are truncated now. You start reading an article and then get this message:
Here is at least one: https://www.apogeerockets.com/education/downloads/Newsletter86.pdf Pages 7-11 of the original newsletter have been replaced with the CD-ROM blurb.Which newsletter did that come from? I guess to be more specific, which article do you think got truncated, or which one got removed?

I would love to see a "paint booth" screen.
Something to paint your newly created rocket and even design decals. Or lets you bring in images from your computer to complete it.

Maybe one day I'll rewrite that article. And I'll make sure to cut it off in mid-article again because
