Tri-port docking

[Torraqe]

Hello!

My problem is that previously I have used TVR-1180C Mk1 Stack Tri-Couplers to make tri-port dockings with ease, most of them time they wobbled a little bit, then connected.

But today I changed them to TVR-300L Stack Tri-Adapters, because they connect more smoothly to large tanks on the other side, however no matter how precisely I connect and align them, only one will connect.

TVR-1180C Mk1 Stack Tri-Couplers continue to connect correctly.

Is there a way to somehow aide docking so the ports will be perfectly aligned? (no quantum struts)

Or just somehow modify some values what determine how close the docking should be?

Bump, because I really need an answer, and I don't want this to go unnoticed.

Also:

After several separations and redocks, these two are perfectly aligned milimeter by milimeter, yet still:

Well, you have got to remember that even Scott Manley struggled with this...

It's really hard to get multiple docking ports to dock at the same time. It requires perfect alignment. I would recommend using the 2.5m docking ports instead.

Yes but I have done it a thousand times, with the old tri couplers. Why are the new ones so different?

If I use the large docking port, wouldn't it be bad for RCS thrusters if the rotation is not perfect (I mean for vertical and horizontal translation)? Because previously I only used tri couplers, because they would provide a stable alignment for different modules.

Also is the are way to edit the savegame, to make all docking ports joined?

Sorry, I'm not really good with .cfg files.

In the worst case you could just HyperEdit the ship into orbit. This seems more like a bug to me - docking ports are prone to them.

Update:

Since I have this problem since my new mods, I begin testing to see if docking cam caused this or something else.

Undock them all, thrust away to like 20 meters or so, then accelerate as much as possible with RCS and try slamming them together at 1 - 2 m/s. When they bump together, keep thrusting forward with RCS until the camera changes.
