Cluster Model in Rocksim ?
How does one create a 2 engine cluster model using Rocksim? I don't see any options in the centering rings. Do you use a Pod to do this? Also is it possible to can't the engine tube a couple degrees. If not I'd still like to model a cluster model. I plan on test flying the model tomorrow but I would still like to modify it so I can use two of the correct engines.

When you have your body tube, add an "inner tube" and select motor mount [1]. Then in the design tree, select "Cluster"[2], then next. I picked the two engine option, then you can rotate the tubes horizontal (default) or other orientation. I don't see an option to cant the motors (a la Titan?) but you can change the radial position of each motor tube to space them farther apart.

OH...I fully understand your question now...how to create the centering ring for said cluster DOH! Hmm...I'm not sure. I used CAD to make my GTII centering rings, letting the tubes at 3.5 degrees cut the ring for me.
EDIT: Well now, I selected the body tube, inserted a Centering Ring. The default put it at the front of the tube. When I drug the location back, the "Drilled Holes" window magically popped up! Here is the template RS created.. |

So what your saying is I am Freaking Blind. I've been using that software for six years now and I've [U]NEVER[/U] seen that Cluster button.
Thank you very much. John Boren |

It took me a while to figure it out...I've only done 2 clusters with it, several years ago, and I didn't remember the CR trick until tonight |

As is the case with any other piece of software, the hard part is knowing where to look. (heavy sigh)
