Implement 'initial_solution' parameter in Flight class

[coderabbitai]

We need to implement the initial_solution init parameter for the Flight class, as noted in the TODO comment in lib/models/flight.py.

Reference PR: #25

Hi, I was just wondering how this was going? I am struggling to be able to use initial_solution to input initial values. I try to input values but it does seem to get anywhere, it either takes too long, outputs NaN values or says indexing isn't working, even when it is very basic values.
Thanks

@finnmezz can you confirm you really meant to open this issue on Infinity (a rest API) rather than RocketPy library itself?

Hi @Gui-FernandesBR , I'm not sure what Infinity API is, but essentially yes, just the RocketPy library. I thought I'd ask on this one since it looked like someone had started to try and implement it.
But yeah, I'm having trouble implementing initial conditions with any values other than 0 and 1 that give good results.
Thanks

This repository is not the house for the rocketpy library.

The initial_solution parameter is already implemented in the lib since v0! I recommend reading the documentation carefully here: https://docs.rocketpy.org/en/latest/reference/classes/Flight.html#rocketpy.Flight.__init__

If your error persists, we welcome you to raise a question at our main repo: https://github.com/RocketPy-Team/RocketPy.
Discord is also an option.

When asking a question, I recommend commenting your code (without sensitive information, of course), and an illustration of what error exactly you're facing.

I'm closing this issue since it is not related to the rest API itself
