I Need Help
Iam trying to make the solar system with real orbital peramitors and i just cant get the Apocenter and Pericenter to have different values.
So far i got Earth exactly equal to real life, now iam working on the others starting with Mercury.
Any advice?

Grab the dot on the big slider under the Semi-Major Axis, and pull it left until it's less than both the current and desired Pericenter Distance.

If you want to type in specific Pericenter and Apocenter Distances, type in the desired Pericenter Distance. Click on the lock symbol next to the Semi-Major Axis. Then type in the Apocenter Distance.

If you want to type in specific Semi-Major Axis and Eccentricity, type in the desired Semi-Major Axis into the Pericenter Distance (this will maintain an Eccentricity of 0). Then enter the desired Eccentricity.
Ial give it a try when i wake up in 4 hours thank-you for the advice
