I did attitude first, then centered, then drove in keeping the target centered as needed. I really slowed down inside of 5 meters to make it easier.

I don't know what is going on. I looked at the instructions but in the actual sim I don't have the same buttons for controls. Maybe doesn't work on desktop, not sure what is going on.

Maybe doesn't work on desktop, not sure what is going on. I tried it on iPhone and PC desktop. Daughter did it on Mac Laptiop. Left controls translate your position in space relative to the ISS. Right side controls align pitch, yaw and roll. Changing one can impact the other. On my successful dockings, I came in too fast once. I zero, the pitch yaw and roll before translating. Once at 0 on the right measurements, I translate left/right, up/down to aling with the docking ring. Best if you can get the <=.1 and stable. Then I translate forward, as my daughter says at a reckless speed. I keep reducing the speed as I get closer. Check the instructions, you need to be less than a certain speed at docking. As you get closer, use single bursts to start moving and stop moving left/right and up down. I try to correct only one at a time. It is quite fun to fly. Now my daughter thought it was more fun to do some space Acro. I was planning to fly around the ISS when I had time later.
