While trying to solve a problem about Triton not having any haze, I ran into another.

In Celestia 1.5.0pre1, and possible pre2, Pluto's 2 smaller moons do not follow the orbit (I'm not talking about the usual problem, these moons are WAY off, like in totally different inclinations).

Here's the images of the problem:

You need to update your numberedmoons.ssc file from the CVS tree.
I think the coordinate frame for Pluto changed in 1.5, so the old orbits don't work.

Even so, the fact that the moons appear to be totally out of the plane of the drawn orbits is weird... even if the old numberedmoons.ssc uses the wrong reference frame, the moons surely shouldn't move on a different path to the drawn orbit?

I just report what fixed the problem for me.
