Relatively new to game, 3h27m to first Block from fresh start...

Orbiter SpaceX ISS Docking Simulator
  1. Orbiter is a realistic 3D real-time space flight simulator program. Official site with free download. DownloadDownload mirror 1 Europe - Textures - Gallery - Links - .
    Background: I first played the game about a year ago, run was about 8 hours, and my browser remembered the game (but didn't remember the github address *smack* bad browser!) I had a sub-8h Block, and close to zero custom map progression. I also totally forgot what I was doing, so I blew up the LS and started over. At post time, I'm paused at 3h42. I think it was about the two and a half hour mark when I found where Map Fragments and Gems were displayed (which is an impressive failure for a guy who is used to Schweiger Orbiter and visualizing orbital relationships by eyeballing lists of osculating elements with the Orbit MFD graphics turned off 'cus they block the numbers. If you enjoyed the new and more famous unofficial training wheels version, try docking with the ISS in Orbiter. Srsly, SpaceX Docking Sim is like an Orbiter demo - first time trying, I docked successfully in 8 minutes and that included figuring out the controls.).
