Hi all,
I have a setup where a space capsule on top of a rocket is covered by a Launch Escape System - basically a small but powerful rocket that lifts the capsule away in an emergency. These two Newton objects are joined by a "hard" joint, and all is well in the "normal" modes of operation (when they launch together, they stay connected, etc). However, when I activate the escape rocket, it pulls the capsule away, but the capsule lags behind it a bit as if it is connected with a rubber band:
The escape rocket is powerful, and the capsule is under a high G load when the escape rocket if fired.
Is there any way to make this "hard" joint even harder? I have the latest Newton, and I didn't notice this in older versions of Newton (as in, perhaps last year's versions) ...
