It probably could be done, but it might not be easy. I usually try to find a similar model compared to the new model that I want to do and then use that previous RocSim file as a starting point.

You forgot RASAero, wRASP32 and AeroLab.

(I'm just being a smart@$$, but yeah, I've been known to use each along with OR and/or RS)...

Too cheap for RS. I use openrocket...

+1

With respect to Tim Van Milligan, Rocsim is a fine product. Were there no OR, I would have probably gone with SpaceCad because it's cheaper. www.spacecad.com

OpenRocket.

Because open-source is the way forward.

Rocksim. Can't deal for ORs crappy sim interface.

I used the 30 Day Free Trial of Rock Sim and loved it for its ease of use, but now I'm stuck with craptastic Openrocket, which is all glitchy, but lets me get what I need.
I also use lots of Mindsim.

somethings a little fishey here..

chris m · Apr 16, 2014

Wow , I was thinking it was 50 50 on the sim use . But more people use open rocket

markkoelsch · Apr 16, 2014

I use Rocksim. I have been using it since version 3 or 4. I also have used RS-pro, which most have not.

I have used OR too to check it out. Not recently though, but if did download the latest version recently, and will scope it out when I get a chance.

Rasaero is a great product. Certainly the best when you want to fly high and fast. I am looking forward to the two stage version.

Rocksim and OR are based in Barrowman. Barrowman is great for subsonic rockets, but is questionable above Mach. That is another discussion though.

Same here. If they ever improve that I might jump ship.

What was the last version you tried?

13.05

I didn't use it very long - I didn't feel like spending the time to figure out how to do what i wanted when I have a copy of rocksim installed. Couple that with some interface issues, I was contented to stay where i am.

If you give me a compelling reason to change I just might.

I really hated the interface in 13.05 as well---so I worked with the dev team to make it better.

Try the latest version. In my opinion, it's much improved. (Of course, I'm biased since I helped design it)

ChrisAttebery · Apr 16, 2014

I used RS my first round as a BAR, 1997-2001. I even used it to design my L3 rocket. When I got back in again this year I looked at RS and decided it was too much money for my use. I downloaded OR and I've been pretty happy with it.

Actually, about a grand. I did the sims for Tim Lehr's Mega Wildman for his class 3 flight a couple years back with it, as well as almost all of his written app. He arranged for me to get a limited time copy from Tim Van Milligan at Apogee. It is a cool program, which has long since expired.

Tim's flight was scrubbed due to the motor being a CTI P versus a research motor. Would have liked to see it though.
