Scenario Stabilizing vessel orbit

[sigsig]

I am wondering if it is possible to stabilize the orbit for a particular vessel so it won't degrade during simulation due to athmospheric drag, different gravity sources, etc.

For expample, i am targetting certain space station orbiting some random far planet, but when I arrive some month/years later to that station I want her orbital elements be the same.

I think you should unchek items in parameters tab under perturbations section..hope that hepls.

You can aim the planet and do some minor course corrections when close to the planet.

That's Extra Tab->Time propagation->Orbit stabilisation, but I want something different, only for one vessel in particular, not every vessel. Something like EllipticOrbit = TRUE in celbody config. Perhaps Orbiter lacks this feature.

You can set the orbital elements in senario editor. You can also set the earrhs atmosphere to the 2006 version which only simulates atmospheric drag to 200km.
