I've noticed that TPT with Radial gravity enabled simulates orbits somewhat realistically. This save demonstrates this and might even teach you some rocket science. Credit to snail for the font.

    add forward thrust at the high point of the orbit or reverse thrust at the low point to round out the orbit.

    Use 3 once in orbit, it will help you track orbit shape

    There is a strange orbital oscillation with eccentric orbits. I wonder why TPT physics does that

    @sentinal-5: Oops! I'll update the save shortly, thanks for pointing that out.

    I created a dustr orbit, does that count?

    if you dont know what a strange attractor is, it is a thing made by chaotic systems. this one is the most famous(and the first one to be 'found'): www.youtube.com/watch?v=dP3qAq9RNLg

    you can make some really cool strange attractor like shapes if you view in persistent and then firing in one direction
