Title: do any rotating stations have docking ports?
Post by: canadave on 26 March 2003, 07:01:59

...like the subject says :)  Any?  LunaOB1 is great, but it'd be even better to try and dock to it
(unless there's a docking port I haven't found yet?)

The new Station V in the latest 2001 add-on...Floyd's Journey...it's at http://www.avsim.com/
Works like a charm...

If you look in the scenario file, you should see that LOB-1 uses the WHEEL configuration file, which (on
my system anyway) has 2 docking ports

; === Configuration file for orbital station class Wheel ===

Meshname = Wheel
Mass = 1e6
Size = 250.0
EnableFocus = FALSE
EnableXPDR = TRUE
XPDR = 494

ZrotFreq = 0.0315
; This rotation frequency f [Hz] corresponds to a centrifugal
; acceleration a=9.8 (1 g) in the wheel at radius 250 m:
; a = r omega^2, where omega = 2 Pi f

; === Docking ports ===
BEGIN_DOCKLIST
0 0 -1.6  0 0 -1    0 1 0    560
0 0 1.6   0 0  1    0 1 0    564
END_DOCKLIST
