That's been one of my disappointments with Rocksim over the years. When upgrades would come out, it'd be a letdown to find the same, old support files with the same errors in them. One that comes to mind concerns the dimensions for BT-80. The ID is listed as 2.588" instead of 2.558".
The way the tool works, it calculates the mass based on the volume of paper (ie, circumference x thickness x length x density). With the ID wrong, the tube mass comes up very light (equivalent to about one wrap of kraft paper  )
Not sure if this ever got fixed. (I'm running v7.1.)
