I just sim'd the Sirius Eradicator in Rocksim 10.5, ran a few launches on different motors and I'm consistently getting altitudes about 60% lower than what I would expect. For example, it's showing launches on some motors at 800' when they should easily be over 2,200'.
Something's wrong, but I can't figure out what. Any thoughts? Has this ever happened to you? I've been using Rocksim for probably about 20 years and I have never seen this happen.
The Rocksim file is attached.
- I've compared the altitudes to other larger and heavier rockets of mine which have gone much higher on the same motor.
- I've loaded the exact same Rocksim file into Open Rocket and the OR file is about where I would expect, and of course, the Rocksim is far lower (again, about 60% less)
- The Rocksim (and OR) Mass, CG, CP, etc., for the Eradicator are all where they should be
