I notice using RockSim, the CP is often shown in two different points on the
airframe. Anyone know why there is such a difference between the Barrowman
and RockSim CP calc? Which is more accurate?
Regs,

Rocksim CP calc takes into consideration things like transitions and such. That may make it a tad more accurate but, IIRC, I've seen it posted that you're better off going with Barrowman. I guess the theory is you're less apt to to be understable. I usually split the difference between the two, leaning more towards Rocksim CP, and it has been working quite well for the rockets I fly.
