Hi I play orbiter since a year ago and i know the basic skills like reach the orbit, fly to the moon... (obviusly with the DGIV....very easy:)). But when i take the SSU and i want go to the ISS, my RInc after the ascent is about 0.68 degrees and it's too much for an in-orbit correction.
My question is ¿ which have to be the correct parameters of the SSU autopilot and when have to be the litoff (T-x)?

sorry for my newbie english:cheers:
 
I've not used the Ultra ships. Do they use the same GPCMFD the Shuttle Fleet does?

Basically the rules are the same. Take off when the flight path of the ISS passes directly over your launch site. I find the extended map MFD useful for seeing many orbits ahead. Use the same Inc for your launch as the ISS. This way, your on-orbit corrections to get matched Inc will be minimal. In the Shuttle Fleet the scenario can be edited to tell the autopilot what inclination to use for the launch.

Launch into a lower orbit than the ISS so the faster revolutions will work to catch up to the ISS.

Another thing to try is Launch MFD:

It calculates the exact launch time.

You must LiftOff when Time To Launch on LaunchMFD is 310s. It's most correct time to make a proper ascent.
