You are both wrong: this is the best one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zZe-NidizL8
No no no. We all had this playing in our heads: https://youtube.com/watch?v=s2pphLBmdsQ
This is a SpaceX sim isn't it?

#82Is this to generate training data for your AI to the job? :D

Who do you think docks their uncrewed dragon capsule? They definitely have automated docking. This is for emergency manual override.
As far as I know it flies autonomously to within a certain range, then gets piloted by crew members on the ISS until it's close enough to be grabbed by the Canadarm for berthing to the station.
It's been a year since they successfully automated docking https://www.theverge.com/2019/3/3/18244501/spacex-crew-drago...

Nope. Made for KSP in 2012-2013. Royalty free and Musk is a fan, so they use the tracks. It’s starting to show up in other space media too.
Re: ISS Docking Simulation
#85They should train an AI to do that.
Re: ISS Docking Simulation
#86Pretty cool.
I had a NaN m/s and weird things like -0.0 and 0.0.
I am hoping it is not the actual "controls of actual interface" [sic - obvious typo is obvious?].
Seeing "NaN" on your control panel in space as you are trying to manually dock must be a fun moment :-)

#87Rotate, Translate, Approach. By the numbers, ignore the graphics.
Thanks for the tip!

Flight simulators map a lot of inputs to the keyboard. Is it feasible to fly while using a VR headset? Can motion controls be used to interact with the cockpit?
I use a joystick with the headset. If you are going to do the headset, might as well go all in with a joystick (or flight specific controllers). https://www.amazon.com/Logitech-Flight-Rhino-Certified-Refur...
Nice to see Thrustmaster's getting some competition. These HOTAS controllers are awesome but do they have enough buttons for everything? I was under the impression a keyboard was still necessary for less frequently used inputs.
Re: ISS Docking Simulation
#89Nailed it first time!! I was super excited too, cos it was so obvious that this so-called “simulation” was in reality a test to find pilots to save the ISS from some top secret calamity that we don’t know about. Surely this was going to be like in “the last Starfighter”, except that Elon Musk would be the one knocking on my door, needing a new pilot. Sadly it just said “congratulations” :(
It probably increases your chances of being evacuated to space should moon blow up without warning and for no apparent reason.
In that case, I'm not sure I want to be evacuated.

#90Reminds me of the old days of the internet when you would randomly come across neat little Flash games like this.
