I know this might not be what you were expecting as my next build, but i'm also a space nerd, not just an avgeek, so i guess why not.
Realism
I think i did a pretty good job making everything as realistic as possible; some features include
- real relative orbit times for all the planets and moons
-real relative sizes (except the sun, I'll get to that later)
- adjustable sim speed, with the buttons on the base.
Inaccuracies
-The distances, obviously, are completely wrong, a scale model of this size would barely fit the sun and Mercury in the designer.
-The size of the sun is 5 times smaller than would be to scale, just to make it look neater. If you want a realistic scale, you can just set the suns scale to 5,5,5 with overload.
