Launching F9sim (Falcon 9 - First Stage Simulator)
I'm happy to announce the launch of F9sim (Falcon 9 - First Stage Simulator). This application uses engineering equations to simulate the first stage of a Falcon 9 rocket in real-time with structural, aerodynamic and engine performance telemetry data live on-screen. You can draw curves to control throttle modulation, vehicle attitude, setup triggers to control Main Engine Cut Off (MECO) and Stage Separation points and compare the accuracy of the results with a real video playing at same time.The application is still being developed, therefore, the experience includes the launching stage and it goes on up to the separation of the second stage.You are invited to join this project!, make and share your own simulations and help to improve the accuracy of the results.For more information and download link, please visit:http://f9sim.mcrenox.com.arFalcon 9 - First Stage SimulatorThis application is intended only for educational purposes and can be freely distributed.
