I have a question that I'm sure many have had.
I'm fairly new to Rocksim but am getting pretty familiar with the basics. I haven't designed any rockets with it yet but use it for figuring out delays and safe takeoff/landings.
My son has a JL Chute Release he wants to begin using on his mid-power park fliers.
I just can't figure out how to get the right info into Rocksim.
First I went to the Rocket Design Attributes tab and tried changing the stock design to two-stage but that asked for a second motor mount.
Then back at single stage... in the Rocket Design Components tab, I added a small streamer or drogue to the 36" chute already there.
In the Flight Events section, the drogue set to be deployed at max ejection delay and the chute set to be deployed at altitude.
The simulation sees the streamer/drogue but not the main chute.
I am noticing that in the Flight Events section where I set the chute altitude, my setting doesn't seem to save. I enter my number and hit OK and the window closes. When I open it again to verify, it's showing 0.00. So I tried hitting the Launch or Flight Profile button instead but my flight still lands at almost 40MPH under drogue alone.
I know it's input error but I can't figure out what. I've watched all of the Rocksim training videos too.
