MrMisu Posted September 21, 2014 Share Posted September 21, 2014 Hello guys,I've been playing the Demo for a while and recently I've bought the full version, and let me tell you, Squad is owing me some lost nights.I've managed to orbit the Mun, I've managed to crash land on the Mun (poor Jeb is still waiting for a rescue mission) and recently I've managed to dock, first with the Advanced Grabbing Unit (just to get a feel of the thing) and then with docking ports, but I have a question regarding the distance indicator. From what I've read, the game should display the distance to the target when I get closer than a certain distance (30-50m), but this never happens. I have the latest version (2.4.2) of the game, what I would like to know:1. Is this a bug? (should I try to reinstall the game)2. Am I doing something wrong? (not activating something)3. The distance display works only with some mod? (I only have Engineer Redux installed at the moment)Thank you guys and have a nice flight.Misu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vanamonde Posted September 21, 2014 Share Posted September 21, 2014 I'm not sure what you're asking about, but the F4 key turns a target reticle with distance reading on and off. Have you tried that? Meanwhile, welcome to the forum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrMisu Posted September 22, 2014 Author Share Posted September 22, 2014 Hello guys and thanks for the replies, I didn't know about F4 . Makes docks much easier.Any pointers on how to make a Mun landing on a specific location, like suggested orbit before landing, type of maneuver etc.Misu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pecan Posted September 22, 2014 Share Posted September 22, 2014 Practice on Minmus first, it's easier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
