One thing that would help with using out side planning tools for flights in the game would be a data that the simulation starts..

Has anyone else looked into this? Is the system even accurate?

I am trying to compare to online simulations, Maybe 2022 maybe 2036, maybe just not accurate?
 
Can't be too far into the future because Oumuamua is still visible in our solar system and 3I/Atlas is hanging around outside the orbit of Jupiter. It won't be earlier in time otherwise I'd expect Oumuamua closer to Earth, so I'm guessing some time in 2026.

Looking at the Earth from above the north pole, it appears to be close to if not exactly at the Summer Solstice.
Eyeballing the system compared to recent (+/- 10) years at https://www.fourmilab.ch/cgi-bin/Solar, I find zero even relatively close matches. Jupiter is in kind of the right spot in the late 20-teens, but Saturn is not. And the inner planets don't match ever.

Pluto is roughly at (looks slightly before to my eye) perihelion, which happened in 1989, but Jupiter and Saturn don't match any time near there. Jupiter's right in 1983 or so, Saturn's right in about 1995.

I expect they just picked random numbers, or used some time deep in the past from some catalog and then added the other stuff (like Oumuamua) manually.
