Now that's a question I haven't seen before. What do you mean "the sun does not orbit"? The Sun doesn't orbit anything in Orbiter -- stuff orbits the Sun. Do you mean that the planets are not orbiting the Sun in your Orbiter instance?

Perhaps the OP is referring to the sun path relative to the barycenter of the solar system.

The Sun is not orbiting anymore.
It has ceased to orbit.
It is an ex-orbitant Sun.

LMAO I had a feeling I wasn't too specific
I mean like, no rotation, orbit, nothing.
I time warp so that my scenario can go from night to day, and it stays at night.
I think that's as good as I can make it lol
This only happens on Earth or also occurs on other planets?

Wait, are you getting a lit-up ground, but a black starry sky?
I've only tried it on earth, no lit up ground.
simply simulating nighttime throughout the entire game play.
I did download the multiplayer, if I reinstall; that won't take away any of my mods will it?
like the UMMU Cargo pack, arrow freighter, f-302, etc?

OMP needs to be in its own folder, only with its required addons:
http://omp.dyndns-server.com/en/required.php
So, OMP in one folder, plain Orbiter2010 into another folder (+ your preferred addons).

Depends on the mod. For most things like vessel addons, it won't get rid of them, since they don't replace any of the default Orbiter files.
My recommendation is to start from scratch. Make a new Orbiter install, and add addons one at a time, making sure after each one that there's no problems. And if you ever want to use the multiplayer addon, make a separate Orbiter install for it.

Why not just replace the earth.cfg with one from the original install?
Wouldn't that fix it without him having to reinstall?
Then again, it is probably easier to just reinstall unless you really know what you are doing.
I have heavily modded my Orbiter install, so I'm not sure how inconvenient it would be for him.
