Hey, this has probably has already been said, but if you go far into the future, the orbits of alot of planets and moons get really messed up. i've seen it where the moon is halfway into the earth! This isnt really a problem for me because i dont really go that far into the future very often, but I thought that maybe someone should know to fix it. I'm not sure what my graphic card is, so i guess if that has anything to do with it, it my be a little hard recreating the prolewm. I can tell you this though, i got this computer around october of last year, so its about 3/4ths of a year old, and if this helps at all, its a dell 4300.

Um, this was fixed ages ago in version 1.2.4 IIRC... what version are you using?

Appearantly it hasn't been fixed in v1.2.4 since being I use this version and noticed a rather peculiar moon orbit. Try it! Set your simulation to current time and then advance time by 100000000000x's. I turned on the orbital paths and the moon did not have a circular orbital path.

I am using 1.2.4 and it looks really weird if you go ahead far enough

Yeah, Same Here!

What does IIRC mean?

Nope, nothing happens. Probably this bug was covered in a patch... try searching for it in the forum. IIRC means "If I recall/remember correctly"...

I won't bother, the patch will probably be included in 1.2.5. But thanks anyway!
