If you imagine a beacon situated at the correct point for the fuel station, you should be able to fly there and get on the correct orientation. It's a bit trickier but it can be done – unless (as occasionally used to happen to me, with the old convenience stores) the fuel station is tumbling end-over-end. If the station is stable on its long axis though it's just a matter of finding that point and then lining up. Minor corrections can be made on the way in by adjusting your course in the direction of the largest amount of internal side wall that you can see (if that makes any sense!).ZirconB wrote:I docked with the main station a few times until I got a dockinjg computer. The difference is that the main station has a beacon for lining up to the correct orientation i.e. 90 degrees to the entrance. It's then only a matter of up/down, side to side for centering.
