RockSim 11 / Fins

[Kane]

Anyone else see this when they open an old Rocksim file in Rocksim 11? It doesn't appear to effect the flight profile or simulation, but the new fin features seem to be causing some issues with how the geometry renders in 2D.

When you rotate the 2D elevation view, this artifact goes away.


This artifact does not appear in the front view (nose elevation) nor in the 3D rendered view. It also goes away if you change the number of fins from 3 to 4.

I've tried recreating the fin set, changing the cross section, changing the plan points, and saving a copy of the file. My guess is that Rocksim is struggling with the airfoiled fin in this specific oblique projection.

I guess it's not really impacting anything, but it does look weird, especially if you export the view to CAD.

Yes, we have been talking on TRF about it here. Apogee says that they are aware of the problem and they are working on it. They also say that it does not affect any of the simulations.

Ah! Thanks. I didn't make it past the activation issues on the thread.
Thanks.
