I did it! (in training mode) didn't use the docking alligment though since it was kind of confusing. I just need to point the prograde into the target marker right? okay now this was hard enough. going to dock in my main game soon!

how? I miss the ship each time. This is frustrating...

I'm using a new smaller ship now. how do I move the green cross?

uhm... my probodobodyne HECS randomly overheated when I was in a stable orbit of about 80 000 meters, is this a bug?

Thanks, I'll try it soon. Whats the difference between docking and staging mode? also, lining ships up would be very hard for me since I had a massive bulky ship with wrong RCS placement. Also no reaction wheels. Going to try with a small agile craft soon.

One problem with the mod: My ship was too bulky and had RCS in wrong places so docking would be near impossible for a beginner like me. The reason I made such a big ship was to make a refuelling station as well. Though I will first set my goal to docking. By roughly guessing where the station would need to be at the launch I made an oribt 6 km away from the craft (yes I am using Mechjeb but only for precise orbits (I dont think many astronauts control the craft manually either.)

The ksp wiki has (almost) all the information about ksp youll as a beginner and as a more advanced players. http://wiki.kerbalspaceprogram.com/wiki/Tutorials

Thanks, I'll check it out and I will post my results.

Aligning is the problem for me.

I had this mission to make a refueling station in orbit and have 4000 liquid fuel (havent unlocked orange tanks so stacked two half size tanks on it and came short by just 200 liquid fuel.) also, I will complete a contract for docking and could even bring the station to the mun for a mun base so 3 contracts in one.

I'm on the wrong side of the ship, RCS is very rough aswell (pretty big ship) so I guess I'll make my station point to the ship.

So this is my first time docking and I'm close to the ship i want to dock (20 meters) and going 0.3 m/s. no spinning going on by the way edit: I completed the docking training, this gives me motivation! update: I docked! Not as hard as imagined thanks for all your help! isnt it glorious. Jebediah would be proud of me if it werent for that I killed him...

One more question how do I edit the argument of peri without using a lot of fuel and messing up other things like apo and peri height?

Thanks, that worked very well.

Thanks, though how do I know I'm going east? Going to the left of doesnt directly mean going east right?

So, I need to launch a satellite in a specific orbit: Apo - 5 408 688 Peri - 965 842 inclination - 171 Long. of AN - 68.8 Arg. of Peri - 114,6 Now I am in an orbit around kerbin of about 100 km and I noticed when I burned at the normal node it took a lot of fuel to go from around 0 degrees of inclination to 10 degrees and that it takes a long time. Should I increase the inclination while in the atmosphere of when I am at my apoapis (or something else) ?
