[1.0.5] Docking Target (0.4) 4/5/2016

[tg626]

Visually align your craft for docking for a new level in docking precision.

This mod adds the white/black circle and cross seen below to allow you to visually align docking craft. Red lines peek out from behind the cross if you are misaligned, cuing you on which way you need to move for proper alignment.

Nice

[drtedastro]

great news. getting it now.

cheers.

Just what I have been looking for!

This will help me align even my RCS placements in both ships perfectly!

Hope this doesn't conflict with MechJeb's autodocking =">

[Alshain]

This looks wonderful. Much more realistic than other mods.

Question about the sentence on KerbalStuff, does it not work with the Jr. or Sr.?

[tg626]

Not yet available for Jr and Sr ports, that's one reason this is v0.1.

Expanded support coming soon.

Hi tg626 your mod made docking more precise and even all my cross placed RCS thrusters are nearly in perfect alignment.

I took the liberty of adding the other docking ports in my copy of the config file, hope you don't mind. :">

Would just like to ask about the module variables, cameraForward, cameraUp and cameraPosition. What are they for? :"> Hope to do some tweaking for inline docking ports as well

Thanks in advance.

That jazz is for hullcamVDS, best to ask over in that mods thread. I just reused code from its own cameras

[MK3424]

Is there a way to add the camera to any docking port?

[vixr]

Very cool!

Maybe, but I'm out of town at the moment.

Ah, got it tg626

[Bizz Keryear]

Hi,

I think you made a mistake with one of your mod.

Because I got here from https://kerbalstuff.com/mod/1044/Docking%20Target ...which is correct so far, ...

but I got there from CKAN ... namely from a mod named "Federal Productions Flags". Which I just wanted to check what it is about.

[tg626]

No idea. My mod has corporate flags but they aren't a separate mod. Being a part of ckan (which I don't use) only happens via my uploading it to kerbalstuff so its a mystery to me.

[lajoswinkler]

Isn't this the same thing as Raster Prop Monitor? It also allows you to peer through a docking port.

[tg626]

No. Alone it slaps a docking target on the docking port, with hullcamvds it adds a docking camera OR with RPM, you can use that view you mention and sight the target for docking alignment.

I really like this idea, how do I make it with with Ven's stock revamp?

I don't know Ven's Stock Revamp too well, but if he has a "dockingport2" that replaces the squad part by the same name, it should just work if you install it UNLESS Ven's model is so different from stock that my target ends up INSIDE the docking port.

Hey @tg626, just a heads-up that my Service Module pack's parachute-equipped Clamp-O-Tron docking port variant now supports the use of your mod.

[Stone Blue]

@tg626 Now that KerbalStuff is shutdown, is there any chance you could rehost this on its replacement site, SpaceDock.info?... Or at least somewhere?
Thanx!

Hang tight, it's coming to Spacedock.
