Updated Version Available - Tweaked Falcon 9 so that the command pod still has some battery power left upon reaching orbit.
SpaceX's docking simulator is fun, but wouldn't it be great if you could experience the whole trip from launch to docking? Now you can in SimpleRockets 2. This sandbox contains 4 craft: A Falcon 9 with a Crew Dragon Capsule payload, The International Space Station in low Droo orbit (100km), another Crew Dragon Capsule in orbit alongside the ISS ready for docking, and an surprise that I'll leave it to you to find.
Designed for use with the Crew Dragon HUD mod, but no mods are required.
The Flacon 9 on the launch pad has an automated launch and rendezvous flight program. Just target IIS and it will warp to the correct launch time and get you to orbit within a few kilometers (alternately activate the first stage and it will launch immediately to 100km orbit. The Crew Dragon Capsules use Slider 1 to open the docking port cover. All other craft are unscripted.

This is cool, and I bet you enjoyed doing it for fun after being hectic and burned out with your recent mods :)

@PorkyClown3 huh, it's been working fine for me. I use physics set to high, all graphics settings medium. Kraken?
