Another Docking port Issue...

[Trevisan]

Hi guys! Long Time lurker here...

I'm having this bug, where I can not dock a station with a small ship.  I've done hundreds of docking operations, and it's more easy for me now than it was when I started playing KSP.

Searching for a solution, I found many posts referring to change a string on the "ModuleDockingNode" module. Folks who had this bug reported that sometimes the docking port status is set to "Acquired" instead of "Ready" so the docking port could not engage. The thing is, after looking into my saving file, the "state =" is set to "Ready", but the vessels could not dock and keep bumping into each other. The magnetic force is being applied, but is kinda weaker for what I can remember.

 

As you can see above, the two vessels are perfectly aligned. I tried looking into the save file and editing the docking port configuration on both the ship and the station. Both were already stated as "Ready"The only different thing I remember about this is that the station's docking port is the root part.

Yes, I do know this is an old bug, but everyone managed to solve it by changing that string. But again, when I looked into the save file, it was "Ready" instead of "Acquired"...

Have anyone seen this before?

Anyway, thanks for all the help!

Shameless self-bump. I really cant find the cause of this issue...
