Cryphonus Posted May 28, 2012 Share Posted May 28, 2012 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kosmo-not Posted May 28, 2012 Share Posted May 28, 2012 Does the rendezvous module display phase angle? Also, I can never seem to find where to download mechjeb, even though I\'ve done it once before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cryphonus Posted May 28, 2012 Author Share Posted May 28, 2012 It is pretty good with displaying parameters such as inclination, relative velocity. It goes wrong when you choose the Auto <Do Something>. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maltesh Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 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.http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?action=showpost&postid=404079876 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
