2 Feature roadmap for OpenRocket 1.0
3 ----------------------------------
8 - Go through thrust curves and select best ones
9 - Updated splash screen
23 - Reduce memory leakage when closing windows
24 - Make simulation data immutable, don't store copies in undo/redo
25 - Profile memory usage during operation (send data to server?)
30 - Implement a central logging system
31 - takes messages with different priorities
32 - converts them into LogLine's that are passed to log handlers
33 - printing log handler and storing log handler
34 - bug reports to contain last ~50 log lines
36 - contains TraceException for log position information
37 - contains sequential number
38 - log storing handler stores separately debug and info/warn levels
39 - remove all System.out/err writing, replace with logging
44 - Integration with thrustcurve.org (syncing?)
45 - Reading thrust curves from external directory
46 - Plot motor thrust curve
47 - Water rocket modelling
52 - Automatic general rocket optimizer (for altitude, velocity, duration etc)
53 that allows changing any rocket parameters for optimization
54 - Analysis of various motors for the rocket. Search all motors by
55 diameter, impulse range, manufacturer, simulate them and present the
61 - Windows executable wrapper (launch4j)
62 - Allow only one instance of OpenRocket running (RMI communication)
63 - Running/simulating from command line
68 - Only schedule rocket figure update instead of each time updating it
69 - Importing flight data (file/altimeter)
71 - Implement setDefaults() method for RocketComponent
72 - BUG: Inner tube cluster rotation, edit with spinner arrows, slider wrong
73 - NAR/CNES/etc competition validity checking
75 - Drag and drop of components / other table items
76 - Ctrl+scroll wheel to zoom in/out
77 - Move components by dragging on the figure
78 - Progress bar during startup
83 - Landing scatter plots
84 - Simulate other branches
85 - Remove need for 5m launch rod in real-time simulations (reduces apogee)
86 A simulation listener that checks when sufficient velocity has been reached?
91 - Run a simulation with each step doing a component analysis
92 - Compute the force between different components:
93 - between body components (pushing against and pulling apart)
94 - inner tubes and the parent body tubes
95 - lateral forces on fins
96 - individual fin normal forces?
97 - Take into account acceleration, drag, gravity
98 - Plot forces against time
103 - Screw weights for nose cones / transitions
104 - Support for external pods
105 - Support for tube fins
110 - Reading (and writing) .RKT format
115 - Move startup class to src14 directory, remove reflection
116 - Remove database etc. initialization from class initialization,
117 create separate set of test motors
118 - Extract event rules and data saving from Simulator into listeners
119 - How to handle different simulation situations elegantly
120 (launch rod, free flight, recovery)
121 - Change SimulationStatus to include methods for obtaining basic
122 position (maybe even change to an interface, implements Cloneable)
123 - Modularize calculators, simulators, atmospheric conditions, etc.
124 - Change Motor (immutable) to be a factory of MotorInstance (stateful)
130 - Search field in motor selection dialog
131 - Motor selection/editing from Edit configurations dialog
132 - Change FreeformFinSet to throw checked exceptions
133 - Fix engine block icons
134 - Exporting flight data
135 - Split cluster into separate components
136 - Create application icon and take into use
137 - Error dialog for uncaught exceptions
138 - Check where plot data ends (all rest NaN)
139 - Example rocket designs (hybrid w/ dual deployment, staged rocket)
140 - Better error/warning dialogs when reading/writing files
141 - Store custom materials
142 - Read more thrust curve formats
143 - Showing events in plots
144 - Table boolean selecting by clicking label
145 - Test automatic exception reporting (for 0.9.3)
146 - Draw remaining event icons (for 0.9.3)
147 - Update "About" dialog with icon and source info
149 - Through-the-wall fins
150 - Make ThicknessRingComponent implement RadialParent and allow
151 attaching components to a TubeCoupler (for 0.9.4)
152 - Save file as oldest OpenRocket format possible (for 0.9.4)
153 - Non-exception bug handling
154 - JTree text is cropped unnecessarily
155 - Allow editing user-defined materials
156 - [BUG] All configuration dialogs too high
157 - Simulation plot dialog forces dialog one button row too high (All/None)
158 - Add styrofoam and depron materials
159 - Inform user about software updates
161 - Add label to motor panel to tell current number of stages
163 - Take into account all fins in interference effects
164 - Two-fin rocket stable at large number of roll angles?!
165 - Add slight randomness to yaw moment
166 - Update simulation time step filtering from exponential MA to
167 exponential growth until time step is reached (t1 = 1.5*t0)
168 - Limit time step during while on launch rod
169 - Re-investigate 15% reduction of three-fin CNa
