I'm working through Tex's excellent video tutorial on Launch and Docking, and I noticed that there are different values for the Docking MFD CVEL and the Sync Orbit MFD RVel. Obviously, I'm missing something about what the two values indicate. CVEL is closure velocity, I believe, and RVel is Relative velocity. How are these two values defined differently?
BTW, I feel obligated to commend Tex for his Orbital Tutorial Series for Beginners. They are well-executed, detailed, and explanatory of the various sim functions and the relevant mechanics. In another thread, I disparaged his video tutorials on IMFD. Those are indeed badly out of focus and almost useless, to me.
Thanks in advance.
