Decals/Textures in Rocksim

[neil_w]

I'm doing a 30-day trial of Rocksim. Getting decent-looking 3D renderings is just way too difficult for my taste; I'm too spoiled by OR in this regard. Right now I am struggling to figure out decals/textures, which are behaving in various counter-intuitive ways. What really kills me is that when you go to edit a component, the main rocket view switches back to 2D side view, so you can't see the effect of the changes you're making until you exit. Driving me nuts. Is there a way around this?

Anyway, can someone briefly explain to me the parameters here (other than Scale, which is obvious)? Right now I'm just focused on body tube decals.

I don't use these features, but there may be a Peak of Flight newsletter about them.

There is indeed, though probably could use an update. https://www.apogeerockets.com/education/downloads/Newsletter211.pdf

Hopefully that can answer your questions! If anything else comes up, feel free to PM "ItsAnotherBobby" here on TRF and I'll walk you through whatever you need.

Thanks I’ll go have a look at that.
