Pointing 'UP' when orbit is inclined

[Shisouka]

Two little helpers:

Enhanced NavBall which adds the missing markers to the nav ball.

and/or

MechJeb's Smart A.S.S. for pointing the ship in certain directions automaticly.

Later has the advantage of becoming active on non-controlled ships/stations when getting withing range.

Ok, then try this.

When you are at 1 km, switch the navball to target mode. Burn to green retrograde marker to kill relative speed.

When your relative speed is about 10-15 m/s, your target is to "drag" the green prograde marker directly over the target prograde marker: remember that when you burn, the prograde marker is "pulled" towards the center of the navball. If your relative speed rises, slow it down with a retrograde burn.

When the two markers are aligned, it means that you are pointing straight to your target; gradually reduce your relative speed, at about 200 m you can switch to the target craft to align the docking port, and you're done.

i know exactly what you mean, I 'drag' the prograde marker over the target, as i approach, i turn 180° and do the opposite, this 'pushes' my retrograde marker over the target AND slows my approach speed.

Rinse and repeat. Its always the last few meters I struggle with because of the crafts alignment to each other. so finding my normal/anti-normal position should help me with this.

I wont use Mech-jeb, and i try to avoid time warp to halt the craft.

Thanks for all the help guys. im marking this as answered now!
