my main problem was my lack of understanding about the relative velocity indicators (circle with dot and circle with cross), but also a lot of other little things that I need to see and understand while watching the auto pilot many more times to come. thanks for all you help guys - still very...

I tried the autopilot and was watching intently, it docked, then warnings started going off - apparently the autopilot doesn't open the nose cone, so DGIV just went up to ISS and bumped into it....

PeterRoss - Many thanks - I'll have to digest what you've put here and try and remember it - I don't have a printer to print it out so may have to consider writing it out. Anyways - I'll give it a shot and let you know ---------- Post added at 07:19 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:18 AM...

ok - still no go. i turn off the ISS rotation as instructed but i keep going through the guide rectangles. here is mi last scc file save - is someone able to have a look at it and let me know if i've missed anything? ====START==== BEGIN_DESC Orbiter saved state at T = 10861 END_DESC...

OK - I'm just using the stock standard 'Landed KCS Departure to ISS' scenario that came with my download of DG4 stuff - I haven't modified anything. I haven't changed anything, so if it's not meant to be rotating then it probably isn't, which leads me to ponder - why, when I take my time, does...

Impossible! this thing is impossible - I take my time, but when ever I just about line myself up with the guide squares of ISS docking, they rotate away from me and I spend all my time trying to catch up with them. Am I missing something? Is there a step I've missed somewhere that makes me...

OK - even though I follow the instructions, and take my time, my scenario is still trying to dock me on the dark side. Anyone got any ideas?

OK - last silly question (I hope) - how do I find the IDS frequency of the dock?

Wishbone - forgive my ignorance - but what's "AttitudeRCS MFD in the dock mode". I have docking MFD up, HUD synced with the MFD but can't find anything called "AttitudeRCS MFD in the dock mode" thanks in advance

hi all Is it possible to dock the DG4 to ISS using only the keypad? Every time, at the last quarter of my final orbit (after following the video tutorial) I can never seem to be able to control the DG4 enough to dock - I always over-shoot, or the docking guide boxes are on the far side of the...
