Ecliptic ( orbital ) Planes ??
« on: July 20, 2011, 12:48:26 PM »
Is it actually possible to specify the angle of the Ecliptic - i.e. the Orbital Plane
For Planets you are putting into orbit around a Star ??

These are not always alined with each other - there are differences in the orbital planes of Planets around Sol - and some Systems may show greater diversity.

Can we Model this in the Simulations - or Not ???

Not yet. The orbital plane is currently fixed. I hope to correct this omission in a future build.
