OpenRocket 13.09 (2013-09-08):
|
|
------------------------------
|
|
|
|
This release contains a number of bug fixes, updated 3D JOGL
|
|
libraries, and separates simulation edit and plot dialogs.
|
|
|
|
|
|
OpenRocket 13.05 (2013-05-04):
|
|
------------------------------
|
|
|
|
New Features:
|
|
|
|
* Added support for decals on rockets. Added two new 3d views - 3d finished and 3d unfinshed. Added support to export and
|
|
apply decals (images) to rocket components. Added ability to launch external graphics editor to edit decals and monitor
|
|
file for writes to update the rocket view.
|
|
* Added simulation of tumble recovery based on experimentation done by Sampo Niskanen. This is particularly useful
|
|
for low power staged flights.
|
|
* Extended "motor configuration" concept to cover more properties. The concept was renamed "Flight Configuration" and
|
|
allows the user to override stage separation, recovery deployment, and motor ignition per flight configuration.
|
|
These configurations are stored in the ork file with each component. If no override is specified then the user specified
|
|
default is used (set in the component edit dialog). The flight configuration dialog was reworked to make it more
|
|
usable. The user selects the configuration in a drop down with buttons for "add", "delete" and "rename". After selecting
|
|
the configuration, the tabbed area below allows the user to change the configuration for this simulation.
|
|
* Allow simulation of stages without a motor. Users in the past have attempted to simulate separate recovery of payload
|
|
and booster by tricking OpenRocket using a dummy motor with trivial thrust curve. Now the user does not need to do this.
|
|
There is an example of this provided in TARC Payloader.ork and Boosted Dart.ork
|
|
* Simulate recovery of boosters. The simulation engine will create new FlightDataBranches for each stage after
|
|
separation. The data for the boosters begins at t=separation. The simulation plot allows the user to select
|
|
which stage's data to show (or all).
|
|
* Modified the zoom and pan controls in the simulation plot. Added zoom in, out, and reset buttons. Added
|
|
scroll with mouse wheel. If the alt key is used with either of these, only the domain is zoomed. Richard
|
|
contributed a more logical mouse controlled zoom - right click and drag will zoom (either domain, range or both).
|
|
|

|

OpenRocket 12.03 (2012-03-17):
|
|
-------------------------------
|
|
|
|
In this release the version numbering scheme has been changed to be
|
|
"YY.MM" indicating the year and month of the release.
|
|
|
|
Enhancements in the desktop version include saving designs in RKT
|
|
format thanks to Doug Pedrick, freeform fin set import from images by

|
|
has also been translated to Italian by Mauro Biasutti and Russian by
|
|
the Sky Dart Team.

|
|
|
This also marks the first release for Android devices. In this first
|
|
release you can open files and examine existing simulations, stability

|
|
Ruland.

|
|
to work by Richard Graham. Printing of transitions, nose cone
|
|
profiles and fin marking guides is available thanks to Doug Pedrick.
