Pyramid in Rocksim?

[The Rocket Kid]

Is there a way to build one in Rocksim?

Just off the top of my head here. I think you could do it using PODS in Rocksim 9, but i have not tried this particular. Think a motor tube with 4 fins, and then your pods/fins as the sides/exterior of the pyramid. It might work.

Typically though with this type of rocket in Rocksim you will need to adjust for the incorrect base drag. Go to Apogee's website and look up their Peak of Flight newsletter #154 with a very goo darticle by Bruce Levinson on how to adjust Rocksim to correctly simulate short and wide rockets.

Have you looked at this one? https://www.rocketreviews.com/unknown-king-tut-pyramid.html

Tim Van Milligan created a Rocksim version using a conical nose cone with internal components.

Here's a link to list of RocketSim Design Files for Pyramid-Style Rockets.

Since the tagging of the designs isn't complete, you might be able to find some other pyramids in the Rocksim library.
