***BIG UPDATE****
TRF member, @MarsLander contacted me a week or so ago with some pretty big updates to the GPS drift spreadsheet.
1.) There was an error in the way the drift was calculated at the main altitude that has been resolved
2.) MarsLander figured out how to add weathercocking to the spreadsheet using Rocksim or OpenRocket to get the upwind distance. The user will need to approximate the ascent wind angle. Which can be achieved by averaging Windy directions over the ascent.
The latest version, now H is attached.
Please provide any feedback you have.
Again, big thanks to MarsLander for digging into the spreadsheet, pointing out the errors and pushing the progression and capabilities.
Thanks,
Dave
