Default using 29mm CTI motors in rocksim

First let me say HELLO this is my first post on this forum.

Now I'm not too computer savvy so you'll have to walk me through.

My question is how do I get 29mm CTI motors into rocksim?
Like if I wanted to use say an H54 in an Estes Argent my rocksim only shows Aerotech 29mm motors.

By the way I have used a H54 in it already and it was fantastic !! "2,761 feet"

Thanks,
Joe

THANKS Mike,

It seems to have worked for 6 out of 50 motors, but I'll keep trying LOL
they go into the data file, but not into where you can load them into the rocket?

Have you looked at using OpenRocket? It can read RockSim files, and has CTI motor data builtin.

it stinks I paid for rocksim and can't get the motors I want . I did everything the video said and still only got 6 loaded. data in engedit 9 shows them there, but in rocksim it self under data it's empty ???
WTH !!
I also tried it with 24mm and same thing, out of 19 motors it only shows 7 of them
could it be windows 7 that's "F-ing" it up?

Shoot an e-mail to Apogee. They're always willing to help.

A little update;

So far I still haven't been able to load the CTI motors completely.
I've had contact with Apogee, trading emails with a Michelle.
She seems to be baffled also as to why mine is doing things that its not supposed to. LOL
like put an "M" motor in an Alpha and launch it.
(BTW apogee is at 181,344 feet, MV was 4708 f/s)

In the engine selection tab, I have motor vendors that are empty and that shouldn't be.
This really got her dizzy, LOL

I'm still hopeful it'll work out though.
