NAV Tracking Problem DG4

[YukiLTU]

Hi,
I'm having a problem on the Delta Glider, when I try to contact ISS to dock, My Dock Hud doesn't find the ISS through the signal. Anyone could advice?

P.S. I Noticied then i'm very near it contacts, but when I am far how can  I set the autopilot to automatically fly to the ISS?

Thanks for help,
Newbie Pilot Yuki ^^..

There are two types of frequencies for each vessel: a transponder (XPDR) and one or more docking systems. From
ISS XRPD you get a reception at < 1000 km, for docks it is < 100 km.

DGIV has no built-in autopilot, which can bring you to the station if you are more than 100 km from it. Some people
swear by Rendezvous MFD.

You can't tune in an IDS or XPDR unless you're in range. You need to use other navigation technique to get within range of
the ISS, such as using the Align Planes MFD then the Sync Orbit MFD that come with Orbiter (I think there's instructions for
such a technique somewhere in the Orbiter Manual) or the Target Intercept mode of IMFD.

Yeah, I noticied that.. emm guys so anyone could step-by-step tell me how can I set the autopilot to fly to the ISS?^^..

In NAV MFD, set the first line with XPDR frequency, in the second, tune IDS.
