I DID IT!!!!!! Thank you guys so much for helping me!

I am using sas to switch between target and the retrograde. I am using rcs as well. Yeah now my separation is less then 1 km still don't see it but now my speed is about 10 so going back to retro to slow down which sucks cause now my speartation is going to go back up. Its like I can't seem to stop these two from moving.

Okay thank you guys so much. I'm so close now. The other issue I have now is I am pointing at the target but I don't see it. Is there a key I have to hit to highlight the other ship or something? Also I can not seem to get my relative velocity to 0. Each time I get close I'm like at 3.3 m but then I get to 1.8 and then it goes back up. What am I doing wrong?

So hold on one sec. So I looked at the max speed and it says 14.1 meters per sec. So do the math like you said and I get 19.9148 and so on. So I start slowing down 19 or 20 seconds before the point of contact?

okay I will try thanks.

So maybe I made things sound like I didn't know what I am doing. But right here is were I have a big problem. I Want to know where is the thing that tells me if I am about 15 km away from the target and how to slow down without causing the separation to well separate.

So you are saying as I am approaching. I know the navball should be in target mode but I should be aimed at the target or anti-target?

I need help with the docking tutorial in the game. I was trying to complete them all and I've done them all up to the docking one where I get stuck. So the part I am having issue with is I get the orbit right. Then I have to get my transfer orbit within 5km of the other ship. That's tough but I have done it before. Now comes the real kicker. So I need to slow down so I don't miss it. It says you should start slowing down when you are under 15 km. So I have two questions 1st. How do I know when I am under 15 km. 2nd. When I do start slowing down my separation between the two they become so far apart it is impossible to catch back up to without speeding up again. I've been looking at videos of tutorials and can't seem to find any info on helping me and I have only found 1 video of someone completing this tutorial. Please any help would be really appreciated, thank you.
