Why don't you go through the checklist scenarios? In the Checklists folder in the Orbiter-launchpad select
mission1 - DG to ISS and once it has loaded press alt-F1. Once you are through this three missions you will know everything
to get into orbit, dock, undock, deorbit and land. And how to track vessels in space and how to get near them.

You can try pressing F3 and select the vessel you are trying to find or use the scenario editor.

camander ale · Reply #19 - 25 February 2007, 12:27:16

oh yes.but that is kind of cheating though.

No, not in the build-in DG. They are just part of the spacecraft. You can use Dan's DGIII (better wait for DGIV) to perform EVA.
