Title: Rendezvous MFD help
Post by: Zatnikitelman on 23 December 2006, 03:57:23

In my current scenario, no matter what I try, Rendezvous MFD still says "too far away" when I select my target.
Thanks for any help,
Zat

you have to get by yourself at a least 100km of the target
if  that said "to far away", its because you are too far away
RendezVous MDF is used for the final aproach before the docking

try to read somes tutorials about rendezvous in orbiter,
I'm not very good at explanation, can someone help him?

Thanks, I actually figured it out. You have to wait until your positions in the same plane almost coincide. Then you can
turn on Ren. and do the burns and stuff.

Sorry I'm not really familiar with Rendezvous MFD, but I'm sure liking Dan's new autodock capable beta DGIV release :)
