Open Rocket and oddball nosecones

[billmi]

I'm attempting my first Open Rocket simulation with the Attack Craft Orion clone that I'm working on. Thanks niel_w, for the pods tutorial, it was well laid out and got me going where I needed needed to do the fins.

I worked my way from the tail to the nose and am at a "what now?" point: How to simulate the ACO's unconventional wedge shaped nosecone.

My instictive thought is that since a cone is essentially a radially symmetrical wedge, using a conical nosecone with a rear diameter that averages the ACO nosecone's width and depth is probably the closest approximation I can do.

Is that right, or is there a better way?

That’s as good an approach as any.
