I booted up orbiter and saw that venus was way off orbit.
It seems to be missing(see Picture)
picture.php

I zoomed off very far and it was still not their.

It was very far from anything.

I don't know what happened. Here is the cfg.

Code:
; === Configuration file for planet Venus ===
Name = Venus
Module = Vsop87
ErrorLimit = 1e-8

; === Physical Parameters ===
Mass = 4.8685e24
Size = 6.05184e6               ; mean radius

; === Rotation Elements ===
SidRotPeriod = -20996798.4     ; -5832.444 hours
Obliquity = 0.02217               ; obliquity of ecliptic (1.27°)
LAN = 5.2722                   ; longitude of solar transit (302.07°)

; === Atmospheric Parameters ===
AtmPressure0 = 9200e3          ; Pa
AtmDensity0 = 65               ; kg/m^3
AtmColor0 = 1.96 1.57 0.64     ; RGB Pair (196,157,64)
AtmAltLimit = 200e3            ; CHECK THIS!

; === Cloud parameters ===
; Used http://www.abc.net.au/science/space/planets/venus.htm for some of this
CloudAlt = 25e3                ; altitude of cloud layer
CloudRotPeriod = -3.46e5       ; do they rotate backwards like this?

; === Data for the Visual ===
MaxPatchResolution = 8         ; highest sphere patch level
MinCloudResolution = 1         ; cloud layer from this resolution
MaxCloudResolution = 8         ; highest cloud resolution level
I dont know how to fix this so please help.

Thanks Stevodoran.
 
You changed your venus.cfg file at some point. It's broken the location of Venus.
Restore it from the Orbiter 2010 zip file and it should be fine.
 
I restored the old file and its fine now. Strange thing is i never changed it :blink:. Probably some newly installed addon.
 
Clearly you installed a Moonseed addon that caused Venus to explode. I hope you've been careful with your moon rock samples. :probe:
 
Now fly to it without warp drive or time acceleration!
