(Something similar to this may be applicable to OpenRocket, but that's not known to me.)
OK, so here's the challenge. I have a fin shape that I want to use in RS that has large curves I really want to get right. RS does let you make custom fin shapes, but the methods for placing points leaves a lot to be desired. Often I've found it much easier to lay out the points in a spreadsheet and then import them. But that's a feature RS does not have. So I hack it in. This involves opening the .rkt file in a plane text editor and altering it, so be sure to back up your rocket before attempting it, as there is a real possibility of corrupting it.
Here's one I did recently, and in the next several posts I'll walk you through how I did it.
