hey, this is great stuff. is there a way how to set the value of attractive force?

@MegaDude333333 You could modify the script in order to do that.

@dimitrisxantho thanks, i tried, but it seems to me that no matter of the size of objects, force is always the same.

@MegaDude333333 I've written a quick tutorial for what you're asking: wiki.physion.net/doku.php?id=s­cripting:tutorials:satellite

Hope it helps

@dimitrisxantho works terrific! there is one more thing though. if you consider motion of comets for example, the static body should be in the focus of elliptical orbit according to Kepler's law, while here it is always in the center of ellipse. however if this is of no interest to you, i didn't say anything :-)
