I was able to model rocksim many years ago but I don't remember how I did it 20 odd years ago.

Help please?

Thanks in advance Stubby

It's a non-trivial exercise. There are a couple different variations you could use, but all rely on pods with phantom body tubes and fins. Here's a super-rough cut to get you started.

I wouldn't particularly trust the flight simulations you'll get, because OR doesn't know anything about how the air behaves flowing through the square tunnels.

Clicking on it should download fine. What are the errors? Screenshot of the error dialog would be helpful. I created the file with the new beta but I don't think it should matter in this case.

Also it is not recommended to post your email address to any public forum.

Closed all programs, except browser, deleted, previous .ork files from download folder. File size shows 1.3 KB. Click on file to open and this what I get.

I closed all programs, then open O R received this msg. But it did open and is being displayed. I am not heavily invested in 29.03 do you suggest an upgrade to 24

Thank you Neil, for taking the time on a Sunday to work through the issue.

Warmest regards Stubby

Beta 1 is pretty solid, and beta 2 is coming soon. I’m comfortable recommending it.

However, in this case you should be able to just ignore the warning. There’s nothing 24.12-specific in there.
 
Well it look good as a sample on a 2" body tube it falls a part in real life @ a 6" body tube can't seam to be able raise the lid of the ram air duct to be 2" off the fuselage body tube. sample file attached.

I also attached a file of what I been able to do as a reference.

I did upgrade to 24.12 Thank You to the Team. :goodjob:
