[Mechjeb] Randezvus Module


Recommended Posts

I\'ve been trying to use the mechjebs randezvous module, but it behaves silly when i let my ship into the Mechjebs hands. Auto align never works usually causing me to deorbit or puts me into an escape trajectory. How do you people use this to randezvous with the other crafts?

Also >r4mon< if you happen to read this i think i can help you with the code for the randezvous module. I\'m kind of experienced with C++ and C.

It is pretty good with displaying parameters such as inclination, relative velocity. It goes wrong when you choose the Auto <Do Something>.

Yeah exactly same thing here, I stay well away from it as it seems its there more-or less for testing, its not even mentioned on the main wiki page (http://wiki.mechjeb.com/index.php?title=Manual), its likely not even supposed to be there.

If you want to even attempt rendezvous use the Ascent Autopilot, its near perfect.

Edit: Actually I take that Ascent Autopilot back, its probably just as bad to use for rendezvous, mine (even doing the pre-test flight) keeps overshooting the final AP and PE when it does its final burn, you will never intercept this way as you\'ll end up being like 10km off mark. By the time you correct the orbit its too late, your out of sync for the rendezvous

The information part of the rendezvous module works brilliantly.

The ship-pointing part of the rendezvous module less so. It actively fights with the Smart ASS system, so be sure you\'re only using one or the other at any one time. I tend to use the buttons on the Smart ASS over the ones on the Rendezvous module.

I pretty much ignore the 'Do this for me' part.

As for how to use it, these are the instructions that taught me when it was still RinComp.

I had a good read over the information in that post, tried for about 3 hours and still un-successful using the methods described (using information in the tool only), I think on my part i\'m still not understanding how to use the information in the tool.

I can do manual Rendezvous no problem, as soon as I try to do it via information via the mechjeb I stuff it all up, every time, I can get the periods within 1second of each other, but then what? i\'m clueless at that stage.

Maybe some screenshots of how to use the tool and a tutorial would be very helpful.
