New AeroTech G80 & RockSim

[Larry Terneus]

I would like to add the new AeroTech G80 to my RockSim files.
At the AreoTech web site I find a pdf file for the new G80 but no eng. file.

I also checked the thurstcurve web site for a file and did not find one.
Suggestions?
Is there a reason no files are listed at the thurustcurve website?
Thanks much
L. T.

Here's a file from the NAR website. NAR has a complete list of their certed motors if you go to NAR Certified Motors under Rocket Motor Information.

Hello Josh
This is the pdf file that I was talking about that I was able to find at the AeroTech web site but if I am not mistaken I need an eng. or rasp. file in order to add the engine to RockSim.
Operator error on my part?
Thanks much

You can make a new motor file in Engine Edit. Go to 'help' in Rocksim and look up how to make a file. It's relatively simple, but a bit time consuming. It usually takes me about 15 minutes to make one motor file.

The certification document (the PDF file) contains all the information you need to create the eng file.

The second page has this information on it:

If you were to copy and paste that text into a file, that is the eng file you are asking for. Adding the eng file to RockSim depends on the version of RockSim you're using.
