Since wRASP is no longer compatible with current OSes like Win7 oder Win10, and RASP XP does not include many motors (e. g. Klima from Germany is missing), I would like to abuse OpenRocket to do quick and dirty sims to determine altitude, delay times or speeds off the rail for different weights or engine selections.
Unfortunately, if I create a really simple rocket without fins, the OpenRocket sim takes the instability into account and my vertical speeds are all over the place and the altitude is of course wrong (rocket is doing loopings, obviously).
Is there any way to override the stability issues (e. g. through prescribing a CP location), just like one can override mass and CG location?
Or should I rather focus on extending the RASP XP motor library? I always liked wRASP a lot.

PS: I added an illustration of the sim behavior for unstable rockets.
