When does the version come out that builds the rocket for you?You will need to wait for the new release which is capable of both boosters and pods.
Where's the fun in that?When does the version come out that builds the rocket for you?
Note that the side pods are not factored into either CP or drag calculations, so it's not an accurate sim.Mr G said:Under the Rocket Design tab you can add more inner tubes. Once there click motor mount under the Motor tab and use the Radial Position & Distance tabs to move tubes to the side of the booster tube.
That will also not sim accurately.At the back of the rocket add a large diameter thin wall tube ( 12 inch OD 1.9999 ID ) made out of light weight material . Then add three inside tubes spaced properly to fool the sum.
Either way, the side pods are not being factored in.Perhaps make the phantom tube very short, and see whether that makes a difference in altitude sims. That might also make minimal impact on Cp calculations.
Note that the side pods are not factored into either CP or drag calculations, so it's not an accurate sim.
That will also not sim accurately.
Bottom line is: you can certainly simulate a 3-in-line cluster, and use internal tubes in one way or another to put them where the boosters would be, but you are not getting an accurate CP or drag simulation. Take your resulting numbers with a huge chunk of rock salt.
If you send me the file you have now, and the details of what needs to be changed or added, I'll enter it into the new version and see what it spits out. Would be very interested to compare it to whatever Rocksim comes up with.And my crucial need is in the CP calculation
Rocksim and the upcoming OR release both support it properly. Accuracy of either is subject to verification and/or debate.I only have OR as well, does rocksim actually change the CP accurately or is stuff like this only cosmetic?
That will be supported in the next release; you can't do it on the existing release (15.03).
Tube fins are already supported in 15.03, sadly a “no” on rings in the next version.Wow, threats of a good time! Looking forward to this! I got a hand full of Stripper dollars ready to make it rain!
Ring and tube fins, too?
As do I... I have been known to design with them now and again.Grumble,Grumble,Grumble,Grumble,Grumble....... I want RING FINS!!!!
You have???? Would have thought I would have noticed.....As do I... I have been known to design with them now and again.
Tube fins are already supported in 15.03...........
