Default Rocksim development suggestion

I would like to see added to the Simulation results listing
a calculated value of the delay required for max Altitude

Recovery system data
P: Parachute Deployed at : 7.554 Seconds
Velocity at deployment: 5.7303 ft/s
Altitude at deployment: 1525.78624 Ft.
Range at deployment: -55.29280 Ft.

Actual delay : 5 sec
Optimal delay: ? sec
Maxumum Altitude : ? ft

Given the the program knows the Velocity, Acceleration, & Altitude at deployment,
it should not be a difficult calculation to estimate the Optimal Delay for Max Altitude.

This would reduce the number of iterative simulations.

Just a thought
Bob
