WORLD WIDE WEB — John Coker of ThrustCurve.org has been recently updated the site with hundreds of additional data files and a completely rewritten motor guide.  Be sure to give the new motor guide a try as it automatically picks motors that work for your rocket.

During the week of February 18, 2008, Coker added and fixed incorrect data for 90 motors from AeroTech, Apogee, Cesaroni, Contrail, Loki and WCH. Also, Tim Van Milligan provided Coker with the data he'd collected for the excellent RockSim flight simulator to fill in 206 missing data files.

The updates include the following motors:

Apogee E6, Apogee F10, Contrail H248-PVC, Contrail G234-HP, Contrail G123-HP, Contrail G130-PVC, Contrail G100-PVC, Contrail M1491-BM, Contrail L1428-SF, Contrail K888-BM, Contrail K543-BS, Contrail K555-BG, Contrail O6300-BS, Contrail M2700-BS, Contrail M1575-BG, Contrail M2800-BG, Contrail M711-BS, Contrail M2281-BF, Contrail L2525-GF, Contrail L1222-SM, Contrail L369-SP, Contrail L800-BG, Contrail K404-SP, Contrail K265-SP, Contrail K300-BS, Contrail K678-BG, Contrail K777-SP, Contrail K234-BG, Contrail K456-BG, Contrail K321-BG, Contrail K707-BG, Contrail K630-SP, Contrail J642-BG, Contrail J272-SP, Contrail J416-SP, Contrail J358-BG, Contrail J355-BG, Contrail J292-SP, Contrail J234-BG, Contrail J800-HP, Contrail J222-HP, Contrail J345-PVC, Contrail J555-HP, Contrail J333-HP, Contrail J246-HP, Contrail J150-HP, Contrail I290-SP, Contrail I307-HP, Contrail I727-HP and Contrail I210-PVC.

Also, the motor guide has been completely reimplemented as of February 20, 2008. Be sure to check out the new version which has a much cleaner way of displaying the results and allows you to save your rocket designs.
