Launch, Rendezvous & Docking From Cockpit Challenge 

It's not boring Scott, We're watching the instruments with you buddy :D

That screen that reads NO SIGNAL is the docking port camera - very handy. You have to select your craft's docking port as the active part from the target menu. There's also a docking port alignment indicator available. Kind of bummed you didn't get to them since they are obviously very useful (and fun) for IVA docking.

Too bad there isn’t a way to “replay” the flight with a different camera position. It’d be neat to see what blew up.

Absolutely fascinating! I would have never guessed this was even feasibly possible save a metric ton of mods. Nice job!

Surprisingly, that was one of the most riveting missions I've watched. It adds a whole other level not being able to see from outside or look at the map screen. Makes you appreciate the hard reality of spaceflight. The tension was palpable! Shame you missed the moment of docking.

RU-vid has been supressing your vids so much for me, i havent seen you in suggested since last year, forgot how awesome your vids are. Found you in subcriptions tab if curious. still works for me, chronological order and all

Yay! I've done this in the Alcor capsule before - which has all he buttons and MFDs you could want - Its an incredible feeling when you've managed it without turning the UI back on even once,

"This stream is gonna be so boring; it's just me looking at instruments the whole time!" (Or something roughly like that) No, I found it really interesting and impressive to watch! This actually scratched an itch that's been around for a while - being able to watch someone navigate in space from a realistic cockpit with all the buttons and switches. It didn't actually click for me that one could even do this in KSP! Thanks for putting up this clip from the stream!

Replaying game , your vids saved me the learning curve , and I can barely dock with all the views.. nice job

I don' t know how I failed to notice the Sandia Thunderchicken shirt until most of the way through this video.... Very cool Scott!!!

if you still have vr you should try the kerbalvr mod

Scott, that might have been your best mission ever.

"Just like a pro." YOU ARE THE PRO!

I'm gonna try this, this was awesome 👍🏻

"Docking just like a pro" - telling spaceflight tales and totally missing that you actually docked :)

that was awesome and even a little exciting

"for those people that still speaks in metric"...Did you mean the whole planet? (except US and Myanmar,etc.)?

Well done! From an instrument pilot in training to a Kerbal Instrument Space Pilot in training.

Somebody show this to Buzz Aldrin, he would be so proud

Talking about how someone used a paper clip to save an airplane, as he docks and doesn’t even realize he docked. What a guy.

As a veteran of the orbiter series of simulators, this was the only way to fly. KSP made the visualisation of orbits and intersections a thing of dreams.

13:00 "Just like a pro" you are THE KSP pro Scott!

that may have seem boring to some, but that was really cool for me. i also liked learning a few new terms for space things and seeing how the astronauts back in the day got to the moon

Been watching your videos for years, just now realized I was not subscribed. Fixed that.

Great, after this try apollo 11 mission with internal view. Also u can install external cameras and this "no signal" will be camera view

You should play some DCS World aircrafts! I would love to hear your opinion of the aircrafts as you are flying them.

Thank you for doing my challenge

WOW. That was awesome

Mr Manley, A Legend

OPT spaceplane cockpits are great for that, all usefull informations are displayed.

I haven't played KSP in about 2 years. Now I want to go back to it.

Hey Scott, if you select your docking port as your reference part you can get a docking camera on your screen that says No Signal

Yep, deffo boring, but respect to ya for your high level of nerdiness. I tip my hat to you, Sir ;)

Scott that is fucking impressive. Good job.

you sir, are a god!

Love RPM a must have mod I award use it, though it can be a little temperamental

A KSP challenge to make anyone lose their sanity: Going to the Mun and back without time warp

You. Are. A. Beast.

Very impressive!

Would be cool to see a whole series of you playing the game from cockpit, preferably in VR. To make it more watchable for casuals you might need to add map and external overlay for viewers.

I have long wanted to see you do this type of challange. I tried landing on the mun, IVA only. but since I dont have an audience I cheated xD

Isn't there a camera option for RasterPropMonitor? Where you place a small camera pod on the outside of the craft that you can align in a direction you want - such as forward prograde for docking. And you can use the data screens inside the cockpit and select one to use the camera feed.

Now you finally know how hard it is to be a real astronaut.

If you install Docking port alignment indicator it also gets available as a Rasterprop monitor widget

I Love the A.S.E.T!!!

ALCOR has been one of my favorite vehicles for a long time. Gorgeous IVA! I'm glad that the developer is back to making enhancements on it again! It was a dead project for way too long.

I would love to see you do a

I did a mun landing like this before, Launch, Landing, Return all in IVA using Raster Prop Mod.

Scott Manley only does efficent launch trajectories. Thats what he told me.

Orbiter Players: my goals are beyond your understanding

How does the effective orbits change when two spacecrafts with different orbits rendezvou in space?

@ScottManley how did you solve the issue of RasterPropManager showing the MFD displays backwards? It’s a huge unsolved issue.

You sir...are a god😂

not boring but impressive and immersive :)

The pod is using at the very beginning of the video its called ALCOR pod made by Alexustas 22 too

"Kerbalvr isn't suitable for drinking wine" Stay classy Scott Manley... And more RO!

I could tell you were rather pleased with the success, not even a Fly Safe...docking complete, challenge complete, mic drop

For me map mode was not cheating great video scott

Looks like me flight simming, I fly IFR so it's all instruments and checking waypoint interception Except for takeoff and landing

you have a great mod that add avionics from aset to stock command pods/cockpits, try it, it's KSA IVA upgrade :)

Now I wanna see life of Boris try XD

I did a reentry by instrumentation once. I kept itching to switch to map view, but it was fun.... just, trust the instruments, I mean, they're all Jeb's Junkyard, what could possibly go wrong?

Scott, can you explain why does the fat earth theory says that the precession increases towards more equatorial orbits? Shouldn't there be some "maximum precession" inclination and drop down towards both equatorial and polar orbits?

I still can't rendezvous with the map screen...

It seems that you are using raster prop monitor. And you are using the Mk.1 command pod. I just installed RPM and iva for command pod is missing. However, the cockpit for airplanes and cupola has iva. Do I have to install another mod to use iva for command pod?

Hello there! Would ksp run smoothly on a workstation pc? The ones with 10+ cores? Or is it some other limitations for the physics of 200+ parts?

can anyone tell me how that junk system display is activated? is there a mod ?

The trailer for First Man played before this video which makes me think your next IVA mission should be to the Mun... Then after that how about to the Moon in RSS/RO. Also makes me think a 1st person EVA view is needed.

Nice, Damn Nice

I'll watch video in a moment. Expedition 56-57 launch happening!

Scott, you said in your video that as you are 7 km below your target you are roughly gaining 49 km every orbit. I cannot figure out what your reasoning is and would like to because it seems like a quick calculation. The approximation I get using trigonometry and granted that the two orbit are relatively similar would be 65 km per orbit in this case. Cheers !

My career save has failed to load properly for the past couple months; I miss this game.

You should try to acheive this using Orbiter 2016 to dock to the ISS. It´s closer to the real thing and it takes a lot more time because approach must be very slow while controlling your ship horizontal displacement, rotation and distance to the ISS all of this simultaneously and using your docking MFD. There is also a "side up" of the ISS docking port that must be aligned with the corresponding one of your spacecraft´s docking port. All previous steps as aligning orbits and waiting in a lower or higher orbit in order to catch up with the ISS must also be done. And for a higher challenge try to do this with Atlantis Spache Shuttle (The docking port is over your head, not in front of you, but you can use a camera view from your docking port along with your docking MFD if you wish, but the docking MFD is good enough to achieve a successful docking). This way is very close as NASA astronauts dock in real life. WARNING! The learning curve of Orbiter 2016 is steeper that the one of Kerbal Space Program, at least in order to do this task. The way you did it in Kerbal Space Program is more or less like doing it as in an Star Wars or other SciFi movie compared the way it is done in Orbiter 2016....Well, no so quick and easy as in the movies provided that some of the required steps were done in your simulation, but in a lot more simplified way. Orbiter website: orbit.medphys.ucl.ac.uk Google for orbiter docking iss for instructions on how to dock to the ISS. Enjoy! :-)

Wow!

wow! very nice.. 8)

Scott, why did you call it Saratoga?

So are you going to get back to Kerban in cockput mode now?

You should definitely do kerbal vr.

Now to beat the docking record to the ISS in Orbiter! Standing record is 9:50 seconds?

Nice Sandia National Lab Shirt

Like a pro

Is JSI availible for the nee KSP?

Can you do one about the new ELUA ?

I thought you did this once in vr, I guess I'm thinking of someone else

For the people who still speak in metric? Is that why the international system of units is in metric?

Hello Scott, which Mod do you use for the flight instruments?

Can you please build a giant firework in ksp? with like explosions, spinning SRBs everywhere.....

Why would someone dislike this? Absurd.

And now with the stock cockpit :)

I miss Galileo Conquest...

Scott u could be a astronaut

Not Boring !!!!!! What Mod??

I don't even want to think about using VR and alcohol at the same time. I let a drunk friend use my Rift and he punched my TV because he thought it was a T-Rex.

We need a new difficulty level in video games just next to the very hard. We'll call it "Difficulty level: Scott Manley"

This needs VR

Scott can you tell me what is this mod please?

lol i did this without the mods. i made it a plane too, cuz it was WAAAAY too easy with a rocket. and then i landed back at the KSC. where is my cookie? i also went to duna in stock cockpit view as well. and i built a ship just today for going to eve and back in cockpit view. soon.. soon..

Outro music ?? most asked question ever sorry :D

Does anyone know what mod this is from? I would like to try this myself.

Scott, it would be fun if you could provide the craft files and the mod list you are using so we could play along.
