Background: a motor that has burned out can be in one of two states: DELAYING (the delay charge has not yet fired) or SPENT (either the delay charge, if any, has fired or there was no delay charge). The existing SimulationStatus:getActiveMotors() method returned a list of motors that were active for the stage, and which were not SPENT. The test for the warning redudantly tested for a SPENT motor, still didn't test for a DELAYING motr, and consequently set the warning. This PR (1) adds a boolean MotorClusterStatus:isDelaying() method, analogous to the existing state test methods (2) modifies SimulationStatus.java:getActiveMotors() to return all the motors, not just the ones that aren't SPENT. This is to improve consistency with FlightConfiguration:getActiveMotors(), and to make for a more consistent usage between the two calls to the method. (3) adds !isDelaying() to the test for the warning.
OpenRocket
Overview
OpenRocket is a free, fully featured model rocket simulator that allows you to design and simulate your rockets before actually building and flying them.
The main features include:
- Six-degree-of-freedom flight simulation
- Automatic design optimization
- Realtime simulated altitude, velocity and acceleration display
- Staging and clustering support
- Cross-platform (Java-based)
