Victor Tadeu Posted October 29, 2013 Share Posted October 29, 2013 Man, I finally created my account on this forum only to thank you for this tutorial! It helped me a lot and made rendezvous easy now! Also... was by using it that I finally learned how to use maneuver nodes... haha!Thank you, you are awesome!

WhiteRaven22 Posted December 2, 2013 Share Posted December 2, 2013 Thank you so much!!!Like many other posters on this thread I was stuck with this MAJOR piece of KSP (being able to rendezvous in orbit seems to be the key to "the awesome rest of this game").The fruits of my labor (thanks to you) can be seen here.

Tharios Posted December 25, 2013 Share Posted December 25, 2013 Does this tutorial function properly for .23? I haven't tried it yet, but I finally got my KSP working with mods and I don't want to mess it up again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't tried it yet, but I finally got my KSP working with mods and I don't want to mess it up again.It's a tutorial, it doesn't run within your normal save. But I really should check 0.23 compatibility as you suggest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tharios Posted January 1, 2014 Share Posted January 1, 2014 It's a tutorial, it doesn't run within your normal save. But I really should check 0.23 compatibility as you suggest.I decided to give it a try anyway. Seems to work just fine so far. I'm just really terrible at it. I can never seem to get that 2km intercept. Closest I can ever seem to get is 5km, no matter how many orbits I take.If I ever make it all the way through, I'll offer some input on how to make it a bit more user-friendly for utter noobs like myself.One thing I'll mention now though is that you should probably mention the potential need for multiple orbits and whatnot BEFORE they try and make the node for the transfer orbit. I spent hours the first time trying to get that intercept in the one maneuver, only to hit next and find out I might have to orbit multiple times.

blizzy78 Posted January 1, 2014 Author Share Posted January 1, 2014 Closest I can ever seem to get is 5km, no matter how many orbits I take.At the end of the initial intercept burn, cut down on the thrust. As the maneuver node marker drifts away, cut thrust completely, rotate your ship onto the marker, then thrust up slowly. Repeat this until you're done with the maneuver. This should get you really close. Other than that, 5 km is just fine as well.If I ever make it all the way through, I'll offer some input on how to make it a bit more user-friendly for utter noobs like myself.Thanks, looking forward to it.

Other than that, 5 km is just fine as well.That bit right there would probably be good to include in the tutorial as well, perhaps after the page mentioning the multiple orbits, and before the page instructing you to execute the maneuver.I'll try again here soon.

Donovan Posted June 7, 2014 Share Posted June 7, 2014 Does anyone have a working download link for this now that SpacePort is gone? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gmax Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 Yes, I also tried to download, but it redirected to Curse.com.The docking tutorial is online, but this rendezvous and the Mun travel tutorials have broken links. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blizzy78 Posted November 25, 2014 Author Share Posted November 25, 2014 I've just posted a thread to announce that I'm looking for a plugin developer to take over this plugin.Meanwhile, I'm halting all development on this plugin. It's been a good time so far. Thank you all for your input and support. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
