ive been using open rocket a lot and everytime i build a larger rocket and go to simulate it it will just keep running the simulation and doesnt stop. is there something i can do about this?
when u get to the simulation it just keeps running. the simulation never stops. i cant really put it in a picture but it only happens with a large rocket.

In Open Rocket it is possible to simulate a rocket that achieves "escape" velocity. Once the rocket reaches outer space, the simulation will not end because you are just coasting in space.
While in the Rocket Design tab, select "Booster Stage" from the left-hand parts tree and double-click it. Then in the dialog that comes up select "Separation" tab. Change the separate event from "Launch" to "Current Stage Ejection Charge".
Another way to do the same thing is click the Motors & Configuration tab. Then click the Stages tab. Click on the "Select separation" button in the lower left and change the separate event from "Launch" to "Current Stage Ejection Charge" and click OK. That should give you an apogee of about 1176 ft.
