Define a "planet" with

Code: Select all

Class "invisible"

Define your two planets as moons around that planet.

See http://www.lepp.cornell.edu/~seb/celestia/hutchison/invisible-130.html

Or you could simply give your two planets the exact same orbital parameters, except, make them orbit opposite of eachother. As in, they are always on opposite sides of their orbit. and just create a barycenter for the planets to orbit.

two planets the exact same orbit
