hi
i'm using shuttle fleet 4.2 and i managed to place the shuttle close to the ISS (about 1k beneath the station) with rendevouz mfd but i have problems to place the shuttle excatly on the RBAR to proceed with the RPM and TORVA. i tried to minimize the distance to the iss using only thrusters in X direction and then in Y to get to the RBAR, but i guess that's not very professional. is there a more efficient way to place the shuttle on the RBAR?
as i mentioned above i'm using rendevouz mfd for the TI burn. I perform the TI burn about 15k behind the station. i read in a tutorial that the TI burn allows the shuttle to intercept the ISS after one orbit (so about 5300s) but rendevouz mfd allows me only to catch the iss after approx. 2000s. otherwise i will pass the station and approach it from above. so is it ok to calculate the TI burn with rendevouz mfd and intercept after approx. 2200s?
