Pericentre-shift

Can someone tell me does the EllipticalOrbit declaration include an option to apply Pericentre-shift in Celestia?

No, it does not.

Celestia does not (yet?) implement orbital precession. If you really need it, you'll have to write a ScriptedOrbit.

Cheers Selden,

I think I can live without it. :)
