Mark,
Your specs don't really surprise me that much; it wouldn't be the first time the RockSim database values were in error. There's a whole bunch of Estes/BMS/Apogee value sets that are not correct.
I wish I had the time to put together a new database (set of CSV files) for RockSim with correct values all the way through. Maybe someone else on this forum can "step up to the plate" and create a fully-corrected set. I've opened these files up in Excel, so making the changes is easier outside of RockSim than from within. I've just got too many other projects on my plate right now... |
