What I usually do is just DL the file, then move it to a new location before running it. When it runs, it over-writes everything in the data folders (including the update folder). Once I do run the file, I'll have it create a new instance of the package based on the build number, and I generally keep the last-known-good installation intact. I'll make my data file corrections before running the program the first time, and I'll check to make sure all the icon pointers are set to the new build. Not as difficult as it sounds, really. It preserves a working copy while I check out the new build.

Opened RockSim tonight looking for my Mach-1 Dart files to post to an earlier thread and found RockSim Update to version 9.1.3f142
Not sure how long that's been hanging out there but installed it and seems to be working fine. Notes associated with this build: Changes for version 9.1.3f142 Changed the Mac OS X installer to make drag and drop installation easier. Fixed a calculation error on tube fin CP. RockSim was predicting CP values that were too far forward. Fixed a 2D drawing error on tube fins. The tubes were not being rotated in the top view. Updated libraries to support Windows 8. Longitude and latitude values are now saved with sufficient precision. Fixed a bug in Reset Camera processing. The position of the camera was sometimes wrong or the program would crash. .

The last update I had on my computer was 118, and I'm not able to install it on my Mint 14 machine right now. It's throwing up a "pixel format" error under Wine.
It's been so long since I've used RockSim...

It's been a LONG TIME since I last did anything with RockSim, I've nearly forgotten how to work with it...
Since I'm a Linuxhead, I had to update my Wine installation to 1.5.26. This was a real PITA for some reason, the repositories didn't want to be found the first couple of times. Next, I had to download the RockSim DEMO from the website to get the latest version. Good thing I did, it's now up to V 9.1.4 build 145. This now works, and once I pointed it to the license file, it became a registered product. They use the same executable for both the demo and the paid versions... Just wish this quad-core machine could apply all four cores to the 3D rendering. It's still grass-growing slow...

I need to open RockSim and grab that latest version update. I must admit I haven't spent much time in the program either and have a few designs that I was working on a few months ago but haven't spent the time to finish I have a Nike-Ram Plus that I started designing with a larger payload section sort of a cross between the Nike-Ram and the EnerJet 1340/20 and began tweaking a Sonic 36 clone that I have renewed interest in and I started construction on that model now that new E and F black powder engines are coming from Estes. Most of my posts are from my iPad lately and I never seem to get near my home PC and RockSim these days ... although I try. .

I gave up on Wine a while back and just started using Virtualbox and WinXP. I had a couple of programs I never could get to run on Wine and since I only use them once in a blue moon, firing up a virtual machine isn't a big deal.
