Add button binds for Docking Request and SuperCruise Assist

[Northpin]

As for the docking REQUEST (yep will stay on track if I can), since FD redesigned the menu I find asking for docking now much quicker

Try to do it 4 times in quick succession while approaching the station at 700m/s

If you are approaching a station or outpost at 700m/s they will always grant you immediate landing access cos they see how superior and awesome you are

I'd have an use for SCA key. It's pretty unfun to fish for the target in the nav menu to flick it on and off. The docking request is fine as it is, but I am speaking as someone who has rigged it so that I don't even have to watch it to use it.

Dearest FDev,

Please add a button bind for Docking Request and Super Cruise Assist.
It is getting VERY OLD having to navigate menus for these two very commonly
used commands.

Thank you.

Yes please.

I use a home made controller so a simple button for docking request would be great, without having to use macros on the keyboard.
Not so bothered about supercruise assist (as I don't use it) however I can appreciate why others want it, so why not FD.

VoiceAttack only works if you are already on the Navigation tab. Anywhere else and it gets lost.
If there was a button that selects that tab specifically then it could be macro'd.

Come to think of it, give us a button bind that jumps right to Navigation Tab!

I have a Voice Attack macro for Request Docking. But it only works reliably if you're docking after jumping into a system, when the panel positions seem to be reset. If you're traveling within a system, the macro may fail. If you've been looking at the external panel in-system and haven't put it back to Navigation, then the macro will fail. There is also a curious case where, even if you're traveling between systems, if you return to the station you were last in (as you do on the Sirius Atmospherics run) the Contacts panel will not properly reset.

I've asked for a Reset Panels binding, so it could be included in macros, before, and I suppose now I'm asking again. But I imagine that the macro writers at HCS Voice Packs have gone down on their bended knees to beg Frontier for just this feature, and if Frontier won't do it for them....

Consoles don't get the benefit of using all sorts of external tools and gadgets

So again,
Yes for binds for both SCA and docking request

I can do it lightning quick, it's just annoying and I don't want to replace my joystick every 3 months.

I dont see the need for a button that requests docking. Since they redesigned menus, it is pretty easy to find and hit while traveling at any speed up to 699m/s.

I think that the SCA should shut off if you throttle to zero. I already have a throttle zero button for using the FSS, so it would be nice not to need an extra button, but use one that already exists.

Throttling to zero is actually quite handy now if you let SCA control the throttle. It flies the SC approach for you, then you drop at the station and your zero-throttle input takes over. You end up floating at zero speed in front of the station.
