    OpenRocket/RASAero Simulation Differences

    Hey everyone, I'm trying to simulate the stability of my team's rocket for the spaceport America cup on RASAero and OpenRocket. However, the stability graphs from RASAero and OpenRocket differ significantly, and we can't figure out why. I've attached the stability and Center of Pressure plots...

    Zephyr Stability (Openrocket vs. RockSim)

    Hi Everyone, I am currently working toward an L1 certification using the Zephyr kit from Apogee. I am basically done with construction, but when I started looking at the OpenRocket model to determine my delay for motor ejection I noticed a really disconcerting discrepancy between the...

    How do I edit the OpenRocket material database?

    In OpenRocket, I added several custom materials. Is there a database (such as a JSON file) that I can edit? If not, how do I delete the extra materials I added? I highlighted the material I want to delete below:

    Can't Edit anything in Open Rocket (95% sure this started after upgrading to Win 11

    Recently I updated to Windows 11 and I am mostly sure that once I did, I can't edit anything in OpenRocket. OpenRocket Launches fine and I am able to open all of my rocket files but whenever I double click a part or click the "edit" button, there is no popup. Due to this, I can't edit my...

    Pitching Moments (OpenRocket technical documentation)

    This is my first post on this forum so I apologize if this post isn't in the right place, but I made my best guess as to where it might fit. I've been reading through the OpenRocket technical documentation, and after only just getting into it, I'm already a bit confused. It states that the...

    OpenRocket simulation drifts far when wind is 0 mph?

    I set the average windspeed to 0 mph. The simulation has the apogee at 4531 ft where the ejection charge fires. The ascent is near vertical. I delay chute decent deployment until 500 ft (Jolly Logic). The simulation has the rocket landing 6265 ft away from the launch site in 97 seconds after...

    OpenRocket Update Status?

    It's been 6 years since V15.0.3 was released. I see lots of emails on the lists about issues and I have a copy of a beta version 17.11-rc2.1 from 2018. At the minimum there are lots of AeroTech motors that have been approved that aren't in the database. It would be great to have an updated...

    ThrustCurve.org API coming back

    I have made progress on the API. The "compatible" and new-style endpoints for metadata, search and download are working. This should enable RockSim and OpenRocket to download data again. If anyone else has programs that query and download data from ThrustCurve.org, they should be working as...

    OpenRocket: How to ignore stability issues?

    I'm simming a short/stubby rocket with lots of base drag. To get an idea of stability, I add a massless transition cone at the tail as recommended elsewhere, and I get a stable rocket. To sim the altitude, I remove the transition. However now OpenRocket is telling me that the rocket...
