Find better approximations for in-flight parameters #12

Open Zange10 opened 2 years ago

Zange10 commented 2 years ago

Tweak or rework approximations to get closer to the actual values during flight

Shown are the deviations for dynamic pressure/Drag, surface speed and Thrust (with drag taken into account) over time Comparison KSP<->Calculation (thick blue line -> KSP)

Zange10 commented 2 years ago

There seems to be a correlation between the sudden increase in drag and Mach 1

Zange10 commented 1 year ago

new weird way to calculate drag works for tester rocket more or less Comparison Simulation - KSP
