Thanks for that last bit, I didn't know these effects were modeled... FWIW - fuel effeciency not withstanding, my usual accuracy is in the 5-15km range.... My problem isn't really doing the docking, it's having enough fuel to DO the docking... Best mission so far was 18% left in the tanks...

I think you are correct, but I don't use the built in docking hud, I press "U" which gives you the actual (or nearly actual) docking view with a big white plus on the screen.

Ok, so far I seem to be able to get elements that are no more the 24hrs away from my desired sim time, so I think I'm OK on drag and precession right?

Ok, I'm with you on this right up until "at a few kilometers distance". If I'm in a 200 x 220km orbit and the ISS is in a 350 x 350km orbit, then the closest I can possibly come to it is 130km. That's a whole lot more then a few.... somewhere along the line I'd have to raise my orbit to be...

Well, at least this is a STEP in the right direction :thumbup: So... it's normal for Soyuz/Progress to be in a lower orbit when the last stage burns out? Thinking about it, I might be able to figure this out if the "Sync Orbit" MFD showed a list that was 35 entries long (lol) That's the...

Has anyone successfully reached the ISS using the included scenarios? I find that reaching orbit before 3rd stage burnout is hit or miss, and when I do get to orbit I am WAY below the ISS... Is something off with this addon or is there a tutorial for getting Soyuz to the ISS (there are tons...

Two questions really. One - where can I simply "look up" the orbital elements of whatever I'd like to? I've found heavens-above, but I wondered if there were any others. Two - The other day I was trying to "position" the ISS using the scenerio plug in. (yes I read the manual) I wanted the...

I had some trouble finding out which port was which number when I first started using this add-on, so I manually figured out which was which and made this graphic as a guide. The base image is from Wikipedia, I annotated it with the numbers. Hope someone else finds it useful. I didn't see...

Just read "The Losing Hand - Tradition and Superstition in Spaceflight" Great article! But I wanted to point out the Apollo 13 SERVICE module kerploded not the Command Module...

Apples to Oranges...

Less then spectacular but...

What's a D3D9 client? (I know what a client is, just not a D3D9 one...) Are you saying that it CAN'T be done using the scenarios that Thorton included with the ISS for Soyuz?

This is what I need a tutorial for, I have no idea how to do these things... :sos:

PLEASE WRITE A TUTORIAL!! Best I've done is 18% left.... :(

TG626 is a composite, TG is used with a 3 digit number for Thai Airlines flights - I once was a virtual pilot for a virtual Thai Airline. the 626 part, which I used since those days, was chosen as it is Stitch's Experiment number in the animated movie Lilo & Stitch.
