And for those purists, Quaoar I is actually named Weywot.

Just out of idle curiosity... what's the maximum number of planets and moons Orbiter can handle? I'm at about 100 at the moment (lots and lots of rocks!), and working on adding the Outer Planets to the list of working addons, which would bring the total up to 200 or so.

Outstanding! :thumbup:

I have Ceres from the Asteroid Pack; I will have to replace it with this and give it a go.

Willy Ley seems to work.

That just occurred to me, lol :rofl:

296.6 degrees? k that would figure to 5.1766466 rad, then.

So the 4.29089197 figure is wrong?

I've also noticed some flickering of planets occasionally. I first noticed it over Jupiter, testing the Outer Planets addon; I later notest it in LEO. I'm thinking it's the cloud layer. Not sure what's causing it... perhaps the fact I've got a hundred or so rocks flying around right now? (I love...

It's starting to look like most of the things that aren't working in 2016 are the newer ships and Earth bases, mostly. ---------- Post added at 10:44 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:44 AM ---------- USS Nemesis station seems to be working, although I haven't tried to dock with it yet...

I'm guessing the same thing. I don't think 2010 calculates orbits any differently than 2016. It wants those numbers in radians, but the creator of the addon input them in degrees. It's an easy mistake to make... remember the Mars Climate Orbiter?

The orbital parameters for this addon are way off. The entries are in degrees, but the units are in radians. Change the orbital parameters to these, to fix the problem: Eccentricity = 0.15586 Inclination = 0.50626503813 ; rad LongAscNode = 1.3861405 ; rad LongPerihelion = 5.1766466...

I'm wondering if Makemake is similarly inclined. Same dev... gonna go look... ---------- Post added at 06:28 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:20 PM ---------- Answer: Yup!

Varuna's inclination is way off. It's inclination is like 90 degrees to the ecliptic. I discovered why. Varuna's actual inclination is about 17.165 degrees. The cfg says 17.158... radians. Which is like 983 degrees. The other orbital parameters are similarly wrong. Changing the orbital...

Is that defined in the mesh file, the config file, or where? Maybe I could manually edit the files...

Not sure if this is a bug of the mods, or of Orbiter: Flying two tailsitters, Luna and Rolling Stone. If they don't land perfectly, they fall over. But they keep falling through the ground until they are pointed nose downward into the earth.

I just ran one of the Brighton Beach sims myself. Brighton Beach landing pad sits 2.54km below the surface line, according to SurfaceMFD.

50s Station and O'Neill Island 3 Colony v0.9 both work. :) ---------- Post added at 05:17 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:15 AM ---------- I found a parameter in videnie's config file that seemed to fix this. ---------- Post added at 10:04 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:17 AM...

So I'm thinking the best way to approach this challenge is to approach Jupiter from the poles; that would give you a 90 degree plane change pretty easily I should think?

Oddly, the config file says "Inclination = 17.158", though it says the units are radians. Which might be the problem. 17 degrees would be about 0.3 radians. 17 radians is like 974 degrees.
