It was work in progress before the new vizzy version but now it's done smoothly with it https://www.simplerockets.com/Videos/View/53797

The craft uses my SR2 tracking radar to synch the launch (that was essential under the old vizzy) which puts the craft within couple of kilometers from the satellite (same weight and launch vehicle) . No orbital mechanics is involved, just translate in x, y, z . My biggest problem was the impossible task of orienting the craft with the pilot's head pointing up, so I evaded this by using the crafts pitch axis information along with bank angle information to convert the translation from Up and Right to High and North.

Currently this task should must be performed by launching the satellite then launching the docking craft with the same vehicle and the craft must have the same weight as that of the satellite to reach the same orbit. I'll pause before fixing that and give a go to guided landing before I get back to this. I'm ready for any questions or help.
