So I put this code into settings.cfg in my own folder inside gamedata. Didn't disable autostruts for wheels. KSP 1.2.1. Trying to drop a rover with a winch, and autostruts are preventing this. Ideas?

I haven't been able to find a definitive way to get kerbal engineer working... I understand that the delta v is partially correct, but my problem is TWR. Ships I build show a TWR of 1.5+ but sink to the launch pad. What am I doing wrong?

Anybody? I think this is superior to the gunsight idea. Opinions?

First, I know ideas similar to this have been discussed, but I've got a new approach. Additionally, all previous threads are locked. When docking, with a target port selected and a 'control from here' selected on your ship's port, it is impossible to determine target ship orientation from the navball. I realize that it's possible with the camera, but you can't get it perfect, and if you're playing from IVA, it's usually impossible. Picture this situation. You're approaching a simple craft from the rear - you're heading straight for it's engine, and the target docking port is on the other side of the engine. The navball would give you your prograde marker lined up on your pink target marker. It would give no indication of the target craft's orientation. My suggestion is to reorient the navball when in target mode. When I target a docking port, the navball would change so that the north pole pointed out from the target docking port. Then, if I align the pink marker AND the prograde marker over the north pole, I know that I'm aligned and on target. If instead I see the pink marker and prograde aligned together over the south pole (brown), then I'm approaching from the rear of the port. The reason I think this would be useful is because that once I'm in target mode (with a docking port targeted), I don't care at all what my orientation is to the body I'm orbiting, only to my target. So, keep normal navball orientation until a docking port is selected, then automatically transition. Again, this would allow a full "instrument approach" - align the north pole, prograde marker, and pink target marker and you're guaranteed to dock as long as there are no other ships in the way. Thanks!
