weathercock_coeff : float, optional
580-
Coefficient that controls the rate at which the rocket's body axis
581-
aligns with the relative wind direction in 3-DOF simulations, in rad/s.
582-
A higher value means faster alignment (quasi-static weathercocking).
583-
This parameter is only used when simulation_mode is '3 DOF'.
584-
Default is 0.0 to mimic a pure 3-DOF simulation without any
585-
weathercocking (fixed attitude). Set to a positive value to enable
586-
quasi-static weathercocking behaviour.
580+
Proportionality coefficient (rate coefficient) for the alignment rate of the rocket's body axis
581+
with the relative wind direction in 3-DOF simulations, in rad/s. The actual angular velocity
582+
applied to align the rocket is calculated as ``weathercock_coeff * sin(angle)``, where ``angle``
583+
is the angle between the rocket's axis and the wind direction. A higher value means faster alignment
584+
(quasi-static weathercocking). This parameter is only used when simulation_mode is '3 DOF'.
585+
Default is 0.0 to mimic a pure 3-DOF simulation without any weathercocking (fixed attitude).
586+
Set to a positive value to enable quasi-static weathercocking behaviour.
