RockSim console app: Fixed a bug that prevented the simulation output files from being written out to the new data folder location.
Upgraded to Qt 4.7.1 on Mac and Windows.
Added File - Import - Engine files menu item. This function copies engine data files into the RockSim engine data folder.
Fixed a bug that caused RockSim design files with embedded periods to save without a file type.
Updated test report display and print interface to use QtWebKit. This was done to improve display and print formatting.
Fixed body tube database errors for Totally Tubular, and Vaughn Bros. The Part No and Description columns were reversed.
Fixed b2 Rocketry database errors. The SkyAngle Part No and Description columns were reversed.
Fixed a crash in the simulation optimal mass plot code. Plotting the graph more than once for a simulation would sometimes crash.
Fixed the OK button processing in the simulation optimal mass setup screen.
Fixed a bug in the check for updates code. The version stamp compare code was finding updates on the web site when there were none.
Fixed a bug in the installer post processing code. RockSim would attempt to import new database files over and over again on some systems.
Added a scripting interface to RockSim. This feature enables script based plugins to be integrated into RockSim. The script language is based on the ECMAScript standard. Additional documentation on the use of the script interface will be published.

I looked to see if WINE could run on a PPC linux, but sadly, no...

Get yourself a cheap laptop, dump Windows, load up Ubuntu 10.10 (soon to be 11.04) and install WINE 1.3...

Rocksim runs as smoothly this way as it does native on Windows.

Default Update Failed

This is the first time that I have tried to update Rocksim, since I have only had it for a couple of months. I am running Windows Vista (please, no anti-Windows comments) and after downloading the entire version, it says that the uploader will start after closing RockSim. Well, I close it, and nothing happens. Any suggestions?

Not sure of your version of Rocksim but there is a background process which kicks off when the application is closed. You will see rocksim.exe running the installation in the Vista equivalent of Task Manager. But again, not sure of the version you are running and if "About" is accurately updated. All else fails go with the Full download as opposed to updates.

Oh, well...

I just fired up RockSim on my Linux laptop, and it was still at build 87. That's why the notice for build 113 popped up, and I had forgotten my other machines were already upgraded.

So I finally took my laptop down to the library, which has high speed internet access, so I could FINALLY download the most recent RS9 update.

I downloaded the "whole version," but neglected to install it immediately. I went looking for the update file on my hard drive, to no avail.

Without using language that's safe for family viewing, WHERE THE BLOODY [Gehenna] IS THE UPDATE FILE?!?

Sorry, I've been away so many months that I feel like a complete idiot. (FWIW, I *do* have a copy of "The Complete Idiot's Guide to Playing Drums" on my bookshelf, along with "Drums for Dummies.")


Craig, guys, help me out, eh?
