Mechjeb seems to have great difficulties to pinpoint the docking port. So yes you have to previously align both vessel's docking ports in order to avoid the docking system wasting tons of monoprop. My method for docking is very similar to sojourner's. -Use the rendez-vous autopilot to approach within 40-50 m of the target -Align both vessels - Engage Mechjeb. - Disengage Mechjeb within 10 m of the docking port. Use the RCS to realign. Generaly Mechjeb does a good job at approaching near the docking port, but his aiming is just not good. So you have to realign by translating your vessel (RCS' keys J-L and K-I). Once properly aligned switch on the SAS (T key), and there you (hopefully) are.

Hi folks, This is plasman, armchair astronaut, to ground control. I discover KPS demo some months ago, and finally decided to buy the full game just a few weeks ago. Having been a forum lurker (at the threshold...) for a while I eventually decided to join the community to share my part of comments/suggestions and bugs reports. Seen you soon. Plasman
