Hmmm...in RS 7, I could print a pdf file w/ a printer set to CutePDF. With RS 9 and the multi-page bug, this would crash. Now it creates a bunch of separate files--the drawing, the parts, the templates, etc. With Acrobat I could combine all these files into a single document, but I wish the old print system was back!!! Also during the data import when I open RS after the update, "Yes to All" behaves just like "Yes" in that I had to hit it repeatedly for all the data imports |

The "Yes to All" function hasn't worked properly for me yet in RS9 so that isn't a "new" issue, at least for me. Before I install an upgrade I pull my .csv data files out of the existing folder. After I install, I copy them back into the folder overwriting the files the new install created. No merge is necessary at that point and all my data stays exactly as it was prior to the version update. That's my workaround.

At least this part of the update seems to work on my Vista machine. It now completes the launch of the program before trying to open the RKT file. Quote:
When the upgrade offers me the option of a "full" download, I take it and create a new folder to install it into. That leaves the old installation as-is. Then I can rename all of the stock CSV files, and transfer my operational files into the DATA folder from the old installation. That way, if anything goes wrong with the upgrade, the old version is still there to work with.

I always take the full download option and save the previous full download in case I have to revert back to it. I should probably take up your practice and install into a new folder should something get corrupted so I wouldn't have to uninstall and then reinstall the previous version. So far I've been lucky

Re-run simulations give different results?
I just noticed a weird behavior w/ RS9 (latest version), I opened up an old sim, and selected "Rerun all simulations" to refresh the results. One of the engine combos looked way out of line, so I reran that particular sim, and the numbers came back in line (I was watching the deployment velocity). Out of curiousity, I kept clicking "Rerun all" and the values keep changing.
I deleted all the existing sims and started over. Even with a single set of results, "re-running" will give different values! Is RS using a random number generator to start the sims? |

Probably several. Check the flight conditions dialog, and you'll see things like temperature, wind, humidity, etc... Each flight of a real model is different, no two being exactly alike. RockSim tries to simulate real-world conditions, so each simulation run has changes in those environmental parameters that mimic what you might find at your local field. In fact, you can go in and make some direct changes to this section that very closely match the typical pattern of your local field. I don't usually change anything here, being lazy, but the option is there to really fine-tune the simulation for your local patch of sky.

Thanks Craig, that makes sense now that you explained it. I guess I haven't read my manuals close enough It is still a little unsettling to see those numbers jump around! |
