Uranus' moon Miranda doesn't seem to follow Celestia's default synchronous rotation - it sails along synched to the Universe at large.
Why should that be?
I've fixed it meantime by inserting
But I'm puzzled why it should be happening in the first place.

Code: Select all

RotationPeriod 33.912

I suspect that there's a bug in the custom orbital calculation for Miranda. The custom calculations are all written and C++ and are responsible for reporting the orbital period. So, it's probably a bug in the getPeriod function of the custom orbit calculation for Miranda.
