If you haven't downloaded this free simulator you are missing out!
While it doesn't have all the features of RockSim it's still a great freebie.
For some Open Rocket tips from an earlier blog post, go HERE
For this version Richard Graham has implemented geodetic computation methods, which take into account the curvature of the Earth, calculates latitude/longitude/altitude and takes into account the coriolis effect. The computation method is selected by the “Geodetic calculations” option in the simulation options. It’s not (yet) a full spherical computation model, but should be accurate enough for pretty much all sub-orbital needs.
Doug Pedrick has also enhanced the printing system with the ability to print fin positioning guides, transition templates and nose cone profiles. Other smaller enhancements and bug fixes are also included.”
Thanks go out to Sampo Niskanen for this great, free program!
