Instant Docking

I have read all over these forums and find nothing on instant docking.
I have posted the Question about how to do it, but no answer to my question.
So here it goes again;
Does anyone know how to mod FL to instant dock like in the rebalance mods? If so please share your knowlege.

Well, look at the Rebalance Mod... ^^

Should have something to do with the docking_spheres in the solararch.ini.

I check that ini file, it reads the same as FL
Anything else?

Hmm, maybe the HpDockMount's have been moved in the CMP's... Further away from the station...

@FlyBy
You need to look in Data/Solar/solararch.ini. Find the archetype of the station you want to change (e.g. largestation1 is the model for Newark etc.), and scroll down to the "docking_sphere = " lines.

The best way to do this would be to look through the Rebalance version of the file and see what they have changed - especially since I don't have any files with me at the moment - but I'm pretty sure you need to change "docking_sphere = moor" to "docking_sphere = jump". This will prevent you needing to enter the station to dock. Also, change the number after this to increase the distance you can dock from.-Accu
