It seems lateral and vertical thrusters are weaker in Odyssey compared to Horizons which in turn gives us Odyssey auto-dock/lauch issues. Best ship to see the difference in is the Imperial Cutter.
Hopefully update 13 will fix Odyssey's broken flight mechanics

Not doubting your observation but it seems unlikely they would have changed the code for this in EDO - why would they?
Maybe you observe some performance issues triggered by something else in your system with the EDO version.

I see that the issue has been reported for some time without being acknowledged by FDEV nor raising votes to a higher degree. Again, I am not doubting your observation but the root cause remains unclear. Could be triggered by a lot of reasons not necessarily a bug with the thrusters code as such. I hope it will investigated, especially if many CMDRs are experiencing the same.

It couldn't be something as boring as the general performance hit?
There are also auto-dock/launch issues in Horizons, so I don't think it's Odyssey-exclusive? Some issues which are probably as old as the auto-docking itself are:
- Ship being forever on "waiting on queue" for docking when the traffic is very busy, even after it clears out.
- Docking not accounting for buildings in specialized stations, or the asteroid bases, so it may crash into them and keep crashing until you're dead.
- Launching not calibrating correctly for the mailbox, so it keeps hitting a wall above/below it because it thinks the exit is there. This also happens to NPCs.
Physics engine should be based on time, not frame rate. So can't see how performance would be an isssue.
Indeed. I was just wondering if a performance hit maybe made movement seem slower.
In those videos you can see difference plaining by looking at the UI speed indicator. In Horizons it decelerates much faster than in Odyssey.
The observation is valid
Lateral and vertical thrusters do seem weaker (or the ships inertia is way bigger)
This issue does not affect only docking computer approach, but also manual flying approach in any situation that involves lateral thrusters usage (well, verticals too)
Edit mostly noticeable while flying the Cutter, but it's observable on many other ships
I even had a DBX overshooting (lateraly) the pad when coming to land at a carrier. IT actually overshooted twice, first on one side, by a lot, then over compensated and overshooted again on the other side.
A DBX
Fair enough.
Unless when it isnt.
Try shooting a TK Zenith when the game is badly lagging... the 3-shot burst that is supposed to take place in like 0.6-0.7 second actually lags well into seconds...
The green tick in the corner of the voting triangle means that it has been acknowledged by FDev
My luck they'll fix this by nerfing thrusters in Horizons
I mean cutter felt like a beached whale to begin with.
I'd switch to horizon, but the mission boards are not as populated as Odyssey.My luck they'll fix this by nerfing thrusters in Horizons
Oooh you found a picture of me from my Dorian Gray days. Good work!
