Earth for now
I have gone to all the trouble of getting to the ISS and aligning for docking BUT when I opened my cargo doors there is no docking port.

I went to the scenario config to look at the shuttle but I cant figure out what is missing to give me the docking port.

Any help please.
 
Which shuttle are you using? The default Atlantis, a shuttle fleet vehicle, SSU? You have not provided enough information.

The first one is your original, the second one is the modified version. As you can see in the red, I've added the ''ODS'' line in the scenario. It stands for Orbiter Docking System.

If it's right, you now have a docking port ;)
 
No, if you use Columbia you will never have a docking port. Shuttle Fleet V4.3 Manual, page 8. Honestly, I spend a lot of time writing the documentation for a reason.
 
oeps, sorry, I've never flown with Columbia so I didn't know that. And I've spend a lot of time reading your documentation ;)
 
Yep, sorry I didnt catch that in the manuel. Now Ive worked to hard to get to this point. I tried to go into the scenario file and replace Columbia with Endeavour but it still shows Columbia.

What am I doing wrong?
 
Change the OV line in the shuttle part of the scenario file.

Change:

OV-102

to:

OV-105

Also in the manual. ;)
