Six component vectors for Real Solar Systems.

[PB666]

I am enjoying the RSS mod/addon to the game. The problem has been coordinating launches, particularly since the reference plane is not the solar system plane. I can get around this but the problem I am having is

that MeanAnomolyAtEpochD variable lacks any definition that I can find. This problem is compounded by the fact that in the System viewer it is very difficult to isolate and visualize inclination nodes without have equi-orbital objects already in space.

There is the J2000 and J1950 and J2011 definitions but there is no EpochD.

It sure would be nice to have some kind of formula for each celestial that would give its position at various times. I have already checked the files for Mercury, Venus and Earth.

Wouldn't it be great if the Mean and true anomoly were reported as a stat . . .and the periapsis and apoapsis of celestials would appear when you click on them.

Agree - I too would find this useful.

meanAnomalyAtEpochD is based on the epoch value, that is set here: https://github.com/KSP-RO/RealSolarSystem/blob/master/GameData/RealSolarSystem/RSSKopernicusSettings.cfg

The D is really just a shortcut for "degrees" (meanAnomalyAtEpoch uses radians).
