Description

As the author of the KSPTOT tool/mod, I've been provided a save file from a user that shows a negative inclination for a comet. I don't know how this would have occurred or what, but it's definitely an error: negative inclination has no meaning.

The comet's name is "Wilfurt 1" and the error shows up at line 365910:
  • INC = -12.291730880737305*
    LPE = 0
    LAN = 208.59056091308594
    MNA = -0.56724156288684924
    EPH = 63961720.905404247
    REF = 0
    }
ORBIT
            {
                SMA = 43822373630.410767
                ECC = 0.628969614291503

I've attached the save file for your viewing. The user has suggested to me that this bug may have been introduced in KSP 1.11.x.

History

#1 Updated by theaziz almost 3 years ago

As a provider of the first savefile, I thought it may be also connected with the fact that the game was slighlty modded. But I created new, clean save (attached) and new comets and asteroids started to appear with negative inclination. For easy searching, look for "INC = -", there's plenty. In the game they appear with pos Inclination but with Arg of Pe at 180 deg, not in the savefile. Also 1.12, BG+MH.
