Ejecting Pods in RockSim

FredT · Sep 18, 2015

In the latest version of RockSim (v9.1.4) you can mark pods to be ejected, but I don't see how you actually eject them during a launch. I would expect that you'd be able to tie the ejection to a flight event, such as motor burnout or an elapsed time.

Am I missing something?

Will look at it, but I thought it was tied to engine burnout.

Probably should give more clues to my problem. I'm using ejectable pods to fudge a four-stage simulation in RockSim View attachment Four Stage Simulation.zip. My thinking was to add a "sub-booster" to the first stage. But when I plot simulation results showing mass as a function of time, I don't see the expected decrease in mass after "sub Booster" motor burnout.
