PhantomCruiser, If you have time, need another tip to complete this Soyus to ISS docking. Have done it many times before with other scenarios but on this one can't figure it out. See attached JPEG. No problem placing the X in the center but when i use translation thrusters to place the + sign...

PhantomCruiser, Yes, i am using the Soyuz (by Igel). Just needed to correct some minor adjustment prior to Docking and Bingo. Finally got it for the first time. Like you said before, practice, practice and practice. Can't believe that so many people read my post and no one replied. I guess...

PhantonCruiser, I am using ISS_v3.2 and Soyuz TMA to ISS and back > Syncing Orbits.scn. Using warp time got close to the ISS, then selected > External MFD > SEL > Docking > Selected NAV2 137.10 > TGT > ISS > DOCK 3 You can see on my attached jpeg (SOYUS ISS APPROACH_1) at about 335.96 m/s @...

Hi Guys, After reading thru this forum, got the Soyuz correctly installed in Orbiter 2010. As a beginner, it took a few tries to dock the DeltaGlider to the ISS and that was very rewarding. Can do that very easily now. Trying to dock the Soyuz to the ISS is a different ball game. Have tried...

N Molson, One quick question on Reinstalling Soyuz on ORBITER 2010 fresh install? Tried to fix the surface bases files on Config/Spaceports/Earth/Baikonur, erased the repeated directories then use notepad to delete all the repeated entries on Config/Earth, but this didn’t fix the Syntax error in...

Yes, i heard the news. The soyuz also carries an experimental robot and it did failed to lock onto guidance signals, so they decided to abort when it was only 300 ft away from the ISS docking port. They are blaming it on a faulty amplifier (inside the ISS) that sends the signal to an...

N Molson, Will try reading the documentation to see if i can at least fix some of the base config files. I would really love to practice the Soyuz docking procedure. The Soyuz file Docked to ISS loads fine and i can undock quite easily, then i back out a few hundred meters and try docking...

N Molson, As always, thanks for your quick reply, really appreciate your help ! ! The link for that add on is: Just a moment... Ah, one more thing: I do not understand what you mean by tidy up the surface bases? Please, pardon my ignorance. Can you elaborate a little about how to do that...

Hi, I am an Orbiter beginner with little experience but was able to dock Deltaglider to ISS and MIR. That was very rewarding ! ! Then decided to install Soyuz v1.0.20160215 and selected approaching ISS to practice docking. When i click on the / to select rotation or translation nothing...

Phantom Cruiser, THANKS ! ! :thumbup: :cheers:

Phantom Cruiser, Your advise, Practice, Practice, Practice finally paid off. Yesterday my DeltaGlider docked successfully to the ISS. AWESOME ! ! :) Docking is still a major challenge but of course will try again a few more times. The last step was extremely difficult, using rotation mode...

Hello, Phantom Cruiser, Docking to the ISS is an impossible dream for me :facepalm: Maybe, someday i will be able to dock, Ha, Ha :lol: Using valuable tips from you, N Molson and Ripley, managed to get close to the ISS, setup all the NAV frequencies and used rotation and translation trusters...

Phantom Cruiser, I am a little confused about Docking with ISS using the Delta-glider / DeltaGliderIV. Watched many videos including TEX DG4 to ISS and most of David Courtney's, it looks like they are running old versions of Orbiter. David is running Orbiter 2010 and TEX Orbiter 2006+P1 do not...

Phantom Cruiser, AWESOME ! ! that is exactly what i am trying to do. N Molson also mentioned add on, such as CMGs. I am going to follow your advise and google ISS 3.2 with A-Z to see if i can download and install. After so many tries, hopefully will find ISS 3.2. The learning curve just to...

Hi, I am using a desktop computer and know the basic keyboard commands but for the life of me, cannot rotate the ISS around the X Axis. Would love to complete my first docking, have tried different options to no avail. Please, see attached jpg Thanks for all your help, :cheers:

Hi, I am new to Orbiter, followed Tex tutorial for beginners KCS to ISS, my only problem is when almost close to docking, the ISS seems to be tilted or in the wrong orientation for docking. Have tried altitude thrusters for rotation around transverse axis (pitch) using 2/8 num keys but this...
