After trying my .ssc numerous times, I tried an experiment.. using the our solar system as a .ssc file for the BD

and it only shows Mercury, and not the rest, so 1 lousy orbit...

So I figure I messed up somewhere in my .ssc, but with the default solarsystem .ssc, there is nothing wrong with it, so for the BD to only show 1 orbit seems odd

ok, never mind...

In order to move solarsys.ssc, you have to change every reference to (note no trailing quote) to be Is that what you did? Perhaps the file got damaged in the process.

as an example of the few changes each planet had...

Here is the original Mercury

"Mercury" "Sol"
{
Texture "mercury.*"
Radius 2440

CustomOrbit "vsop87-mercury"
EllipticalOrbit {
Period 0.2408
SemiMajorAxis 0.3871
Eccentricity 0.2056
Inclination 7.0049
AscendingNode 48.33167
LongOfPericenter 77.456
MeanLongitude 252.251
}

RotationPeriod 1407.509405
Obliquity 7.01
EquatorAscendingNode 48.42
RotationOffset 291.20

Albedo 0.06
}

AltSurface "limit of knowledge" "Sol/Mercury"
{
Texture "mercury.*"
OverlayTexture "mercury-lok-mask.png"
}
-----------------

Here is the one with my changes

"X" "HIP 300001"
{
Texture "mercury.*"
Radius 2440


EllipticalOrbit {
Period 0.2408
SemiMajorAxis 0.3871
Eccentricity 0.2056
Inclination 7.0049

}


Albedo 0.06
}
---------

So as one can see, the names have changed, and I cut out a bit of info to simplify the info, but the essence remained the same. So I guess the file might of gotten damaged eh.. ok...
