How do you add tailcone in rocksim

[Garrace]

I just purchased a Madcow adventurer 3 and would like to install a aero pack tailcone engine retainer. I would like to sim it with it installed but I can't find it in rocksim data base and can't figure out how to to add it. I have done a number of searches but can't seem to find it. Keep in mind I'm not that computer literate and have only had rocksim for a short while. I also would like to add some different chutes to the database like Xform etc.
Thanks

You just add a mass object of the same weight at the aft end of the MMT.

Add a transition of the correct outer dimensions, change the material to aluminum. Gradually ratchet up the wall thickness until the mass is approximately correct.

Thanks. I'm mainly interested in effect of possible drag reduction

Well, either way, its added as a transition. It just happens to be larger in the front than the rear.

Thanks; in my haste I missed that it was a tailcone.

In case anyone still cares, start with a sim that has a tailcone on it.
There is probably one somewhere.
Then delete everything that you don't want.
I did a boat tail that way.
