Does anyone know how to dock this thing with mechjeb and how to use mechjeb to get the space shuttle within 100m of an object

When I was doing some testing, I discovered that orienting the shuttle for a burn, you do not need to use your RCS thrusters. Turn them off and allow the internally provided servos to do the work

Do the rcs thrusters make it harder?

Also I dont know much about mechjeb. Maybe someone can suggest some tips?

Exactly! That's what I mean:)) Well, I will waiting your fix and information.

Maybe it's happening because the ship gets less weight ? Fuel is burning and mass of the ship less?

When you start takeoff and climb the shuttle is stable. But if you start gravity turn or turn to orbit for meeting for another ship- shuttle begins moving left and right, up and down. You must hard using your keyboard for get him back to stable againe:( as result - many fuel is burn, and different orbit with another ship is 18-20 degrees:(

And Mike, where I can get new version with SRB fix?

I just discovered in testing that, at least when using mechjeb, the thrusters tended to go haywire and burn too much fuel trying to catch up to the manuever node. Likewise, the internal gyros seem to do fine for shuttle orientation. I'll try to make a video showing my findings here pretty quick to show you what I mean...if you want?

Why I can`t mount Z1 module to Unity-1? I was try many...many times. :(((every time I was place exactly module. But there was no docking.

It is possible? Or not?

Look at 1.13 on video... :(

Hmmm. May be, but I think, the shuttle airlock ( airlock dock port) cannot dock to ISS dock port. Some different dock port. I am not try this. But I think it is true. Or not?

Well, I did notice that you did not attach the PMA to the shuttle side of the Unity

So.... What was the problem. It is module Z1. If you looking on this part (in KSC), you will see - the module already HAVE the dock port. BUT! This dock port NOT WORKING!!! I don`t know why... After you attach another dock port on module Z1 and... You sucessful dock Z1 module to ISS!!!

And... The shuttle airlock (dockport) sucssefuly dock to ISS dockport. It is working. All ok :)

PS. May be it the future I will re-dock module Z1: in this time I was attach him some little wrong (look the screens).

Lol, easy fix, just undock unity and. Reorient it. I noticed it too was orientated incorrectly...look at the pmas. The module b itself should look slightly lower compared to zarya.
