Hi there.

I apologize, I'm a bit new to docking any ship anywhere.
I've grown used to getting used to using DGIVs autodock autopilot.

I've tried to use it with the Arrow, only problem when I try to execute the
AP it doesn't detect the frequency for the dry dock of the arrow...even if
I have my frequencies set correctly...at least I think I do.

Am I doing something wrong? Or is it not built in yet?

Hi Xavier, welcome to the forum ! :beer:

To find the radio frequency of a ship, you can simply tap the "F4" button, then click on "Object Info" tab. In the new menu, select "Vessel" in the first field and the Arrow on the second field. Then, you should see on the "Docking port status" graffic the IDS of the docking pad.

However, the automatic docking of the DG-IV takes the fastest way to the ship. Therefore, your vessel will surely pass thrue your Arrow which is less realistic. So, I recommand a manual docking with the Arrow or, if you want to test this fantastic autopilot, try it with ISS.

I hope I helped you ;)

You should get confermation via com's when you enter your frequency. The only two things I know of that will cause it not to work is 1.Wrong frequency or 2.Your to far away. you must be very close to get any signal
