[QUOTE="Veteran, post: 2307438, member: 118038"] Yep, that's what I was trying to bring up. You cant input G1 drag model and use G7 Ballistic coeff. Or input G7 drag model and use G1 BC. Has to be apples and apples or oranges and oranges, not apples and oranges. That and putting in station pressure for BP when the model wants a corrected BP or vice versa, or putting in Station and having the model correct it again cause thats how the inputs are set up can really fry your results. You really have to understand every input parameter for that particular model and how that particular model is going to use each input. It can be mind boggling. But its the work that has to be done if you are gonna model it. You have to study each model's manual or user instructions and read how it defines each input screen and in what units. Otherwise you get scrambled eggs which is worse than apples and oranges!🙂 Pick a model, one model, and focus on it first. Learn it really well, then you can pick up another one etc. Even though the physics and math in all these models is very much the same. There are maybe slight variances in modeling approaches. BUT I GUARANTEE YOU THE INPUTS AND INPUT ASSUMPTIONS FROM MODEL TO MODEL ARE ALL DIFFERENT! Yes, highly confusing. Its like trying to speak English in France! Or worse trying to speak German to a Frenchman. When in France or Quebec or Montreal, they only hear you when you speak French! Mon Dui! [/QUOTE]
