I'm having trouble designation docking points with my McQuarrie Enterprise project.

Yes, I've read the spacecraft3 manuals and tutorials.

However, when I enter the required information in the config file - I can't get it to come up on the docking MFD of another spacecraft so I can dock with the Enterprise!

Ironically, I had little problem animating the shuttlecraft bay doors! (Which I thought would be really diffucult) They work just fine!

Here is the config file I am using...

[CONFIG]
MESHNAME="Utah"
SIZE=170
EMPTY_MASS=30000
FUEL_MASS=5000
MAIN_THRUST=90.6e4
RETRO_THRUST=8e4
ATTITUDE_THRUST=4e5
HOVER_THRUST=0
ISP=2100000
PMI=(28,35,8.5)
CW_Z_POS=0.09
CW_Z_NEG=0.09
CW_X=2.
CW_Y=2
CROSS_SECTION=(223,223,30)
PITCH_MOMENT_SCALE=0.00005
BANK_MOMENT_SCALE=0.00005
ROT_DRAG=(0.5,0.5,0.5)
LAND_PT1=(5,-5,-22.7)
LAND_PT2=(-5,5,-22.7)
LAND_PT3=(5,0,-22.7)
FOCUS=0
CAMERA=(0,0,20)

[DOCK_0]
POS=(1.6942,91.874,0.325)
DIR=(0,0,-1)
ROT=(0,1,0)

[ANIM_SEQ_0]
; Cargo Bay Door
KEY=K
DURATION=20

[ANIM_COMP_0]
; cargo bay door
SEQ=0
GROUPS=29
RANGE=(0.0,1.0)
TYPE=TRANSLATE
SHIFT=(18,0,0)

[ANIM_COMP_1]
; cargo bay door
SEQ=0
GROUPS=28
RANGE=(0.0,1.0)
TYPE=TRANSLATE
SHIFT=(38,0,0)

[ANIM_COMP_2]
; cargo bay door
SEQ=0
GROUPS=27
RANGE=(0.0,1.0)
TYPE=TRANSLATE
SHIFT=(-38,0,0)

[ANIM_COMP_3]
; cargo bay door
SEQ=0
GROUPS=26
RANGE=(0.0,1.0)
TYPE=TRANSLATE
SHIFT=(-18,0,0)

Other than the size, the parameter are just wags!

And, finally, yes, I also searched the forums for someone with a similar problem - no luck there either!

But both got to have dock...on MFD click on VIS than select target.
 
I'm using the standard DG as my docking test vehicle.

It won't let me choose the docking point using vis and although I can choose a target and it shows the targets docking point, it won't let me select it!
