Hallo
I've got a question concerning Openrocket.I'm doing a project at university. my task is to calculate the distance and the direction of the flight of a rocket.
i wanted to do this with openrocket but i'm not quite sure which parameters to use. what is the lateral distance? is this the whole distance the rocket flys?
and how can i find out the flight direction?
 
You could always plot latitude vs. longitude. Personally, I like the flight side profile. That'll get you drift distance. I think lateral distance would get you how far you drift perpendicular to the wind.
