Could you elaborate? what are you trying to do? create a custom mission? What mod are working on? your own?

I have this problem on nexus Skirmisher, no in my mod( i play on nexus and mods- Babylon and freespace.
How i can stard battle exemple on earth in skirmisher? why i cant do this in alternative location? ???
Im trying create a custom mission, but i cant choose alternative location, only location in general options, but this is only few location in general options:(

If you use a planet as alternative location, think of the size of this planet. For instance, Earth has ingame a radius of 6378, so you need a number a couple thousand larger then that to see the planet below your ship. If the distance is smaller then the radius of the object it orbits, its so to speak inside the planet, so you won't be able to see it.
Simply check the radius of the object you want to put your mission around in the solar system file.

thank you very much:) now it is ok!!!! ;D
One question, what it is a "dip angle of the orbit" and "the angle of the orbit:? what this opitons doing?( in set paramets)
...and how i can check the planet radius? where is this file?

Provided you used DaTool to extract the nexus_00.dat file, you'll find it under "Nexus - The Jupiter Incident\Universe\systems", in the sol.system file. The file can be opened with notepad.
Where did you see those orbit options/parameters? The stats for Earth in the sol file are like this:
