In this lesson:
- External camera.
The following is trickier than it sounds, so keep your speeds low.
Take off. Retract your landing gear. Make a lateral roll to face Lave Station and assume relative position. Ask for landing permission.
Fire your bottom thrusters to accelerate upwards, without adjusting pitch. Keep going until you're directly behind the station (its front being the side with the entrance).
Fire your rear thrusters to fly over the station. Switch to external view (F1) to witness your Cobra clearing the station. When it has, assume relative position again.
Switch to internal view again (F1). Make a 180 degrees lateral roll until you are looking back over the station again.
Fire your top thrusters to accelerate downward until you've again cleared the station. Assume relative position.
Fire your rear thrusters to pass under the station until you've again cleared the station. Assume relative position.
Make a 180 degrees roll again to look back in your original direction.
Fire your bottom thrusters to go upward until you're level with the landing bay entrance. The trick is to use the direction cross-hair to guide the orientation cross-hair into the navigation target cross-hair without making a roll in any direction.
Extend your landing gear. Dock at Lave Station.
