I have been having a problem w/ Openrocket (using version 23.09).
My sim of a dual deploy rocket had been working just fine, but recently an issue has cropped up.
Whenever I exit and then reopen the file, the packed length of the chute changes. In fact it changes to a larger length such that the packed length is now long enough that it sticks out the back of the rocket. I can change the packed length back to something reasonable (~7 inches) to keep it inside the booster section, file save, and exit. When I open that same file, the packed length is again changed to say 21 inches or more.
This can happen with the main, the drogue, or both. What the heck?
This behavior is very odd, but I am thinking this may be a problem that has been encountered before?
