Strange/random orbit definitions for the autopilot #5874
Comments
As long as low orbit is lower than high orbit for same body, there's no serious bug, in my opinion.
Best option: Tweak it and submit PR or share source with us, so we get new version in master. |

Give the autopilot order to go in a low orbit around a body
Observed behaviour
These orbits are not low: e.g.
Earth 1310 km above ground (cf ISS 400 km)
Jupiter 27440 km
Adrastea 24 km
Europa 364 km
Saturn 11650 km above "ground"
Titan 580 km above ground
Rhea 26490 km above ground from outside, 1850 km from inside the Hill sphere
Formations (Barnard's star) 1020 km above ground
Ignorance 774 km above ground
Impression 15850 km above "ground"
Expected behaviour
These orbits are expected to be all a few hundred kilometers above ground respectively 1 atmosphere pressure level for gas giants, independent from body type (if not hot)
Ok, this may be my personal expectation, but there is no reason for this wide range
Steps to reproduce
give according orders to your ship
My pioneer version (and OS):
July 2024 stable, OpenSuSE distribution
Btw: Rhea is in reality a smooth ice moon - in the game, the complete opposite: a black cut and wrongly reassembled pumpkin to teach us fractal surfaces...?
