What was the closest you have ever gotten to docking with the Internation Space Station [ISS] in OSFS?

For me: 29.41 kilometers as indicated by the hud in the Delta Glider.

Clear past it and straight into an asteroid.

How are you supposed to synch the orbit with the ISS anywho??? I think I got about 100 clicks away from it but I don't know hcih direction to correct my trajectory in.

Also, anyone have the NASSP Apollo addon? I love it but having trouble figuring out how to perform a TLI burn and lunar landing, then redocking the LEM with the CSM in lunar orbit...

I've docked with the ISS.

It took about 2 months of practice, and having the manuall open all the time, but i did it.

It's well worth the effort because of the amazing feeling of accomplishment you get when you finally dock

I still can't make it from the moon to the earth without flying off into space though  ;D

I think i'll dig my copy out and give it a go again.

sir Martin

I actually managed to travel from the moon to the Earth. However, I still can't get close enough to the ISS nor travel to Mars just yet.

i took about a week to learn how to dock with the ISS (after i found a tutorial) and about 6 months before i could land on the moon....

some time ago i managed to complete a successful flight to mars, then back!!

the only thing i still dont know how to do is plotting and executing an orbital slingshot... it's the most complex maneuver you can make i think.....

i havent played it lately.... for me, this is one of those games that come and go.....

In which ship? In the Atlantis you have to hold the + key on the numpad until the boosters break off. For the Delta Glider (my favorite)you just take off and up you go.

yeh got this now, masterd takeof wasnt that hard. i never encounterd that kinda problem with takeoff, just slap on throttle leave it come bk and im in space

docking is bloomin well hard, my ship just starts spinning and i cnt regain control ARGH...

soo fun. i will master it

also sorry for the blonde moment back their. in my first post int eh topic
