Can you load Open Rocket files (.ork) in Rocksim? (The reverse is true: you can load Rocksim files in Open Rocket)
The reason I am thinking about this is, there are presently few Open Rocket files available online. I love Open Software and I love Open Rocket, so I'd like to contribute files for it. I already have 3 finished rockets and 3 others in the making (for some of those, I have used a Rocksim file as a templated and modified it).
As a last resort, I guess someone wanting to use an OR file could install the free of charge OR software and convert it to RS format, although the process would probably deter many, if not most, RS users.
This is all in the perspective of being most useful, while supporting the Open Software part of the equation.

- If I put these online in Open Rocket format, will it make them less useful?
- Should I submit all my designs as Rocksim files?
- Are there known problems of conversion between OR and RS formats?
