RocSim: How to simulate air started motors

[bmhiii]

I have a rebuilt Maxi-Alpha 3 that has a 4x24mm motor mount. I want to ignite two motors on the ground and then air start the other two motors. Is there a way to simulate this in RocSim?

Thanks in advance for your help.

There's a brief on Apogee's website that covers this:

...it's not easy, but it's doable. I wish RockSim had a built-in airstart feature.

In the window where you select the motors, type in the igniton delay for the motors you want to airstart.

Aw, crud! That shows how long it's been since I read the instructions! Was this added in v7?

...hanging head in shame.

That's been there for a while . I use it all the time too .
