Docking alignment tool


Recommended Posts

I don't know what to expect from 0.22, but here's a real-life tool for docking used on Apollo. Several metal plates that show you whether you are on the same axis and in the same banking angle. It can be used on a docking port itself, to ease the assembly. This way the game could have a real hardcore mode. Right now, as I tried to dock from one of Mk2 seats, it's impossible: as you double click on the proper window, the target is... ehm, untargeted.

If you need details, as I understand, command module (from which the photo is taken) had an aim to look with an eye through, exactly like in lunar module (in the photo).

So it's just a bit of 3D drawing inside CMs and outside docking ports. I'd add some more of them, to be able to align at different orientation.
