Ah yes, I see what you mean.

Because I wanted a simple mod with a few rocket types, and I had only bad models. But now, you're here to bring new stuff, and that's good !

Well, you convinced me !

Yes exactly, and it changed nothing. Except when I tried an angle of 90°, the rockets were near zero speed....

Well, I have to learn how to measure objects in Wings3D ...

2.3368 m-long channel-slide launchers.

5" FFAR, basically a 3.5" motor with a 5" HE warhead in place of the solid steel warhead of its predecessor (8.255 cm motor diameter; 12.7 warhead diameter; 1.651 m total length)

The 5" HVAR. Dimensions: 1.7272 m total lenght; 12.7 cm diameter; 39,6875 cm wingspan.

Well, it's very precise !
