Hello Gargantua! I wanted to extend a message of appreciation for bringing the Soyuz 7K to Orbiter 2016 and for including a 7K-TM for Apollo Soyuz! I'm currently working on my version of the Saturn IB and Saturn V for Orbiter 2016 and Multistage2015 and was excited to see a proper 7K-TM on the market. One thing I did notice when setting up the ASTP mission was an alignment issue with the Soyuz and the Docking Module. The rotation of the Soyuz is off by 90°.
This is how it looks when docked to the module:
That red thing off to the side is actually the docking target for the Soyuz. Now, I
can rotate the docking port in the configuration file for the docking module which
does get the Soyuz in the proper alignment, but then the petals on the APAS-75 docking system no longer mesh properly:
Here's the values I came up with for the Soyuz end of the Docking Module so the Soyuz lines up with the docking target:
Code:
1.30 -0.075 -0.175 1 0 0 0 0 1 107.50 ; Soyuz
It should also help you have a reference for adjusting the APAS-75 pedals on the end of the 7K-TM.
