I'm just getting back to LPR rockets after some 35 years of life screwing things up on the hobby front. I have a copy of OR and as I become more familiar with it I like it better and better. I also downloaded a copy of Rocksim, the free trial version, and while I liked that one as well it didn't strike me as offering enough more than OR to warrant dropping $125.00.
Now, I'm well aware that any sim short of the ones that NASA, et all use, will be only an approximation of real world. Have any of you experienced folks built rockets, simmed them in OR, and then compared the two data sets? If so, how well does the "theory" compare to the real world?
Thanks for any responses.

I'm just about 70 so I've been around computers long enough to understand the whole concept of "Garbage In - Garbage Out" and how quickly one can put themselves in the weeds if you don't believe! I've got three kits in build at the moment and a long rest of the winter ahead. My goal is/was to model them as accurately as possible, as built, and then collect some data for comparison. It's nice to know that the simms are better than "Yeah, it will get off the ground, probably without killing you".
