So, recently I accomplished a task I've been toying with for about a month: Docking the CM (from AMSO), and ONLY the CM, to the ISS. Now, I did it with a little twist: I used the LM as the "alignment ship". The service module was jettisoned about 5km away from the ISS.
Now, here's my challenge:
Can you do the same? Dock the CM to the ISS using the LM to align everything. The way to get the CM separated from the SM is as follows:
-Dock the CSM to the LM
-Transfer two crew into the LM
-Switch focus BACK to the CSM
-Press J. A debug string should say "JETTISON SERVICE MODULE?" Press J again
Now, I did "cheat" once: I had a VERY hard time aligning everything, and because of the CM's code that makes it auto-kill rot, it ran out of fuel quickly. However, I'll allow you one "refill" like I did, because in reality, the auto-kill rot wouldn't happen. Post pictures if you can do it!
