Horizons Changes in flight control texts?

Is it just me or did the flight control people have about half of their text removed lately? Before patch 2.2, after requesting docking permission, I would usually hear a confirmation, telling me to (for instance) "proceed to landing pad one-seven". Since the patch, I haven't had confirmations like these. I know not all stations have equally talkative flight control, so... Coincidence? Or did something change?
 
Noticed the same thing last night. Also one time that pad number speech came just as I was about to touch down.
 
If you have a docking computer then you now don't get the voice giving you permission (it still comes up in blue above the sensor display) until the docking computer kicks in. The OK to use docking computer voice transmission no longer is given - so I think it is a bug.

That may not be what you are experiencing, but it is what I have noticed post 2.2 release.

That might be it. I do have a dc on my annie but I never use it nowadays. I'll want to sell it to put something useful in my ship soon. Thanks MacYorks!
 
I noticed this as well. With no DC it seems like it was before, but with a Docking Computer, instead of:

<Disengage> : "Lakon whatever..." : <Request> : "Docking request granted, please land and pad whatever" : <Zero throttle> : "Automated approach approved"

...Has become:

<Disengage> : "Lakon whatever..." : <Request> : (nothing on voice) : <Zero throttle> : "Docking request granted, please land and pad whatever"

I wasn't sure it was a bug or by design, or if it was worth reporting. But now I find that I do kind of miss that snarky controller who told me to learn to fly my ship...
