General Question ISS Attitude

[rluettge]

I am using the Shuttle Fleet V4.1.9 scenarios (great work btw.) and update the orbit regularly to have the ISS and STS127 up to dat w.r.t. their orbit. The attitude although flown during the docked phase is a +XVV attitude and I am having trouble to get the ISS into this attitude using the orientation controls in the ScenarioEditor. Any idea how I can get the correct attitude into the scenario file ?
( I am a beginner so maybe its a dumb question )

If you use the ISS Fleet vehicles ([ame="http://www.orbithangar.com/searchid.php?ID=3676"]ISS Fleet V2.1.0[/ame]) then the proper attitude for a shuttle docking can be achieved by placing the ISS in the default Orbiter "Prograde" mode. That will place PMA2 forward. For docked phase (when in the TEA attitude), use the attitudeMFD that is provided with the Expansion Pack to the shuttle fleet and place it in the Velocity mode, pitch 165 degrees, roll 90 degrees (yaw at the default of 0 degrees). Should place the stack in the proper attitude.

You can also find the attitude MFD on Orbithangar ([ame="http://www.orbithangar.com/searchid.php?ID=3165"]Attitude MFD V3.2[/ame])

Worked out great after playing a bit with the AttitudeMFD. Thanks for the help....
