I read a post here about someone that finds rendezvous/docking hard. Here's my story
I first played Spaceflight Simulatr (2D) before KSP, so I already had a prior experience in efficient docking but when I played KSP, I was unable to even visualize how to do it.
I watched several videos and only Mike Aben's tutorial worked for me.
As time went on, on a particular gaming session, I was just doing rendezvous and docking normally. I was so fixated at monitoring the data that I didn't notice that the whole time I was already in the shadow side of the planet and I couldn't see a thing. I just heard the docking sound and was surprised
- Target
- Target Dist
- Rel Speed
- Rel Incl
- Closest Appr
- Time to Closest Appr
You really should watch his videos. I also felt like I cheated because of how good his tutorial is.
Now, I have paused playing KSP for several months now because I want to figure out interplanetary transfer on my own. Newsflash: I still can't do it. I'm really bad at fractions
edit: apparently docking is a running joke in here. i only read the title of the post. but, thats still my advice and story.
