A new topic, Elevation, has been added. It shows the differences in trajectories when zeroing at different atmospheric conditions and how to calculate a trajectory for different atmospheric conditions.

JBM - Calculations - MPM Input

This program calculates a Modified Point Mass trajectory. It is done by using an approximation for the yaw of repose to simplify the 6DOF (Six Degree of Freedom) equations. It provides estimates of spin drift and magnus effects. Explanation of terms.
