Here's an odd problem I've been having with Open Rocket sims. I decided to downsize a 2 stage Raptor to a 18mm motor config for an upcoming club launch (smallish field that won't support bigger motors) . When running a sim for B6-0/B6-6 motors I initially got a warning for a large angle of attack (115 degrees). I ran a sim with C6 motors and had no warnings. Closed up the file to do some grandson watching duties. Once done, I opened up the file and went to the sims again to see what I needed to do to correct the problem. Now I get no warning on the B motors and a 91 degree warning on the C motors. Nothing in the design nor the launch parameters had changed. Now for the kicker. I reran the sims, again with no changes, and the angle of attack warning for the C motor config was gone. I have no clue where to even begin troubleshooting this problem or if I should just ignore the warnings? Ideas??
