Manually editing orbits

[livefree75]

I want to know if there is a way to manually edit the apoapsis and periapsis of an orbit using the save file. It is possible to edit the semi-major axis that way, but I didn't see something that let me type in the Ap and Pe altitudes. Does it have something to do with the line beginning with "alt"?

The file with this data is named "persistent.sfs".

What exactly are you trying to do? This will depend greatly on what you need to do.

The apoapsis and periapsis depend on the semi-major axis and the eccentricity.

Install the hyperedit mod, you can set the orbit around any planet or moon, as well as loads of other stuff, I use it for getting things like my wobbly, massive refueling station frame into orbit, it would have been near impossible, especially since the station alone lags it to hell.

Ok, I tried the hyperedit option, and it worked great. Thanks!
