Since you guys are pros at this stuff and I am a definite newbie, I was just curious as to which online simulation is the most accurate. I realize no simulation will give 100% accuracy, but I was just curious as to which one is the "best"?
Thank you.
You guys are the best.

Clifford Heath's Simulator. The oldest living simulator on the web.

Re: Simulator Accuracy
One more question if you don't mind, How does one calculate a nozzle loss?
Thanks again.
Thanks again.

Re: Simulator Accuracy
Each rocket has different set of parameters. The best way to predict rocket performance for a particular rocket or component is to fly it and then check what the simulator predicted and adjust till they match. For a nozzle, fly it on a rocket you have the data on. Put a range in the simulator and see what matches.
