Except you're NOT actually using gravity to do it.
If you were, then low-g icy bodies would require a completely different aiming pattern to a high-g mettalic planet. The only thing that matters to probe golf is the planetary radius.
Could Frontier please demonstrate how to use the FSS enjoyably?

Details, shmeetails.
So the effect of gravity on a probe isn't accurately reflected. Meh.
The gist of it is still there.
Sad but true. However, I can only imagine the forum gurning if people had to do more than learn a few simple patterns to completely map a system.
Hey, it's the 34th century.
Do you expect the player to manually load a probe, use iron sights to aim it, and then take out an abacus to calculate the launch velocity of the probe vs the effects of gravity on its mass?
Nah. They just press a button and the computer does it for them.
Wow. Technology.
I'd love that, honestly. Especially if the probe could scan from orbit, rather than simply crashing into the surface.
And don't get me started on the infinite number of them!
I just ram planets, nowadays...
So is the VW engine.
Without delving in to programming, it should suffice to say there are plenty of reasons for one feature to have to replace another.
When you put a new engine in a car, you remove the other one, that simply is not the case with the ADS, under your analogy it's like adding new seats to the car but also remove the mirrors.
Uh, I’d love to give you the Nice Try Award, but you’ve missed the mark so badly here... like George W. Bush waving to Stevie Wonder.
The “engines” in this analogy are the VW (old ADS) and the Ferrari (New FSS). So no... your analysis missed the mark. The square root of George is not 2.18135751.
Given the automatic nature of the ADS and the manual intervention needed for the FSS, your analogy should be:
ADS - VW
FSS - bicycle
But apparently FDev like bicycles, so here we are.
Never driven a Ferrari I take it? Here’s a hint: they have manual transmissions.

A sample quote:
They're all semi-automatic (flappy-paddle) now.
Edit:
Huh. The link broke

Ermmm, no, simply no. Engines have the exact same purpose, the ADS and FSS do not so it falls appart from there on, also, I'm sure the dealership of your VW cannot force you to change the engine so there's that.
Sorry, I’m no more an auto mechanic than you’re Margret Thatcher. But the last Ferrari I drove was a 1978 308 GTS. Just a plain old 5-speed manual.
I’m still too tall for Italian sports cars.
But VW CAN stop production of a particular engine, and replace it with one you hate, and refuse to put that old engine in a new production vehicle, so there’s that.
And you’re going to have to enlighten me here, because I cannot see what different purpose the FSS and ADS have.
The both enable the discovery of previously undiscovered stellar bodies. But I’ve got to know the hidden purpose of the ADS.
Which returning to this situation would simply be an optional update... Your analogy is completely out of touch with the actual situation at hand.
ADS only fills the sys-map, FSS does that and level 3 scans.
Discovery is not a single action and in this game constitutes different activities.
It would be funny to see a VW minibus, with a RR Merlin V-12 taking up the passenger area.
