OpenRocket question: How to make graphs showing flight data

[MetricRocketeer]

Hi TRF colleagues,

Could someone please explain how in OpenRocket to make graphs showing flight data. Actually, I hadn't realized that this could be done in OpenRocket. (I know, of course, that it can be done in RockSim.) Last night, however, at the HARA meeting on Zoom, I saw a beautiful demonstration of a rocket build and flight, and the presenter quickly showed a graph.

So you understand the type of thing for which I am asking, right? I would like to see a graph showing such information as the rocket's altitude, velocity, and range, or whatever else one might want.

Thank you very much.

Hi TRF colleagues,

Stop please! Never mind. I found it one minute after I made the post. It's right there in front of me -- under Plot/Export.

How silly of me.

Thank you.

Ok, I've done that type of thing before. Good you found it.

Once you click on 'Plot' there is a dialog to select what data to plot. At the top of this list you can select what is used for the 'x'-axis'. I use "Time" or "Position East of launch" (wind at 90° = from West) to study flight characteristics.

Also, at bottom left is an "Edit" button. this opens a dialog the select wind speeds and, Very Impotant, Launch Rod/Rail length as well as rail angle.

Have fun.
