Mar 28, 2021 at 19:20 comment added G. Smith The initial conditions and units belong in the question.
Mar 28, 2021 at 19:15 comment added Johnny For what it's worth, my initial conditions were $x^{\mu}(0)=(0,6.5,\pi /2, 0)$ and $ v^{\mu}(0) = (1.38,0,0, 0.088) $, with $c=G=M=1$ .
Mar 28, 2021 at 19:09 comment added G. Smith Without the initial conditions, it’s hard to know.
Mar 28, 2021 at 19:05 comment added G. Smith Calculate the maximum and minimum orbital speed as a fraction of $c$, and the maximum and minimum gravitational potential as a fraction of $c^2$, to see whether the time dilation should vary much. It looks like there is a slight wobble in the straightness of the plot.

Mar 28, 2021 at 19:00 comment added Johnny I'm using the equations from the wiki page en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schwarzschild_geodesics#Geodesic_equation , and solving them via maple's dsolve(numeric), rk45.
