Hi,
In a recent thread, Adrian pointed out that on his Mach 2 flight OpenRocket had predicted the flight altitude much better than RockSim. Until now I've assumed the OpenRocket supersonic simulation to be inferior to that of RockSim.
I'd like to hear what experiences other people have had with supersonic rockets. What was the actual flight altitude, max. speed, OpenRocket prediction and RockSim prediction? (I can also sim them myself if you send a design file.) Preferably with the actual mass of the rocket weighed and updated to the design.
If you have it, throw in the RASAero prediction as a benchmark - that's likely by far the most accurate. Thanks!
Cheers,
Sampo N.
