Docking finished, probably I was a little rought with the controls before. This time it felt much more stable and I was able to turn around to align docking ports etc. A little bit off but the magnets solved that for me

I managed to stop to 0 m/s right by the stranded pod but suddenly I drifted away with no reason, why's that? I didn't have any relative speed at all but the stranded pod escaped me anyway... One other thing, as long as I have SAS activated I can't turn and lign up docking ports, should I shut down SAS during alignment? I will take a small paus from the docking thing and play a little bit and return to my docking training.

@Spricigo Experience is hard to have in the beginning But I thought that I could follow the instructions in the starting tutorials and at least solve them with some ease but I have now realized that this is not true. I'll try some more tips later today and see if I get to solve this starting, I also installed MechJeb 2 just to have something during normal game play... Thanks for all tips, I'm not really angry at the game just at my self for not understanding the instructions in the tutorials Not sure if you have tried the docking tutorial but in that you don't have a circular orbit so to follow almost every guide out here you have to adjust the orbit first. Think this not circular orbit is the problem for me when trying to create good interception points. Will try to create a circular orbit first and then create interception points less than 5km apart and combine that with everything else you mentioned here. Probably I will not manage to dock the first attempts but if I can learn to make good interception points that's good training too

I will try this guide... One more thing I'm really struggling with is the distance markers when not in map mode, how can I see the distance to my target when leaving map mode? Tutorial tells me to switch when I'm 15km from the target and I have no way to see the distance if I'm not in map mode... I'll give it a try later today ... What usually happens in this tutorial is that I have huge problem getting the interception markers to be within 5km, they are running wild Besides that when I get lucky and get a nice 5km marker I will always drift away from the target in map mode no matter how I try to stop start I will end upp drifting away... So yes I'm doing small errors over time but forme I foolow the instructions exactly. Training missions should not be this hard to complete or understand, they might make players leave with a smashed computer Get ready for more questions later today, I know I can and will have a success some day and I really don't want to advance in training before I at least understand docking.

I'm new at this game and it was really fun until I got to the docking training. I can't for life clear this stage. Struggle to get the interception markers correct and if I get them correct I will never ever get near the stranded ship, maybe I see it and then everyhing goes really wrong. I follow the guide point to point but no luck at all. Right now I feel that this is the most money wasting game I ever paid for. I know it will be hard to dock but to clear a training session? What will motivate me to continue playing this game if I can't even clear the trainings... Can someone give me a step by step tutorial on how to solve this stage?
