I struggle to cope with the docking ports in Burch SBB41B.
There are so many ports do dock to, I can't figure out which one to dock to. By that I mean when I building a Space Station, the ports have no number on it. Some of the modules have 6 ports. Now that can be confusing at times.
Is there a way to numer the ports?:blink:

Try [ame="http://www.orbithangar.com/searchid.php?ID=3127"]this[/ame]. It's for SBB4.0 rather than 4.1 but nearly all of the modules are identical.

One thing I've done in the past is dock one of these to the dock I want to use using the scenario editor. That makes it much easier to pick out the correct docking port while on approach.

Makeshift code, no warranties, but was working properly with ISS and SSBB.

To use: activate in launchpad, in game -> Ctrl+F4 -> Docking Port Revealer.
Will show the docking ports on the focused vessel mesh, enumerating them by color-codes.

Show Docking Ports

What a great Add-On! I've only used it twice and it works great on the ISS but it does a CTD when trying to use it on the Ceres space station which has twelve docking ports.

Has anyone else had problems on Ceres?:(

Are you using the version from OH or the .zip link from this thread?
Where can i find the Ceres station you mention?

Using the Latest Version

Hi Artlav, I'm using the version at OH which is the lastest version? The link on this thread is not the latest, right?

Ceres V2 can be found at that great Mustard Addon web site and it might be found at OH as well.

I hope these two addons can work together.
