Destination Lock issue when exiting Hyperdrive

[jockodiounto]

Hi all, I have started to experience strange goings on with destination lock since the latest 1.5 patch. After I have targetted a station within the usual Galaxy map and then jump into the associated system, the station lock disappears and instead the closest sun becomes automatically locked! So I then have to go into the system object browser and re-lock the station that I want to go to.

Anyone else getting this?? I have looked at options and keybindings within the game and can't seem to see anything that is different to my previous settings.

Any suggestions as it is becoming a bit annoying..

p.s. this behaviour doesn't always happen - but is about 90% of the time and doesn't 'appear' to be system specific.

Cheers fellow CMDRs

I have found that this happens ANYTIME you target something else en-route. Like, if you have more than one jump and when arriving in the system/s between, you target a planet, USS, etc... I will then have lost the lock on the originally targeted Station. Only if I have no "oh look...squirrel" moments and go straight to the destination do I not lose that station.

My lock seems to change even if I don't target anything else. Here is general flow of what happens -

1. In station, target a station in the next system.
2. Launch and enter into Hyperspace (station in target system is still destination lock)
3. Leave hyperspace and enter target system.
4. Closest sun to entry point becomes target lock.
5. Go back into star map and re-lock initial station.

Odd

I've had it where I've targeted a RES site or a CZ or some such and destination lock hasn't engaged, even though I still have the poi targeted. It doesn't happen a lot, but it does happen now and again.

While I experience everything in this thread myself, I also experience a much more responsive and quick map compared to 1.4.

I believe those two things are related. They changed some code apparently to make the map load and act faster but brokr something about route planning unintentionally.

I, too, tend to lose the locked space station as described above, but it's not much of an issue as I can just switch to the left-side screen and retarget it in less than ten seconds. I'm sure it'll be fixed before long.

Well I did get very excited when I read the latest patch release notes. They indicated that this issue would be fixed - alas no. The notes must have only been for the Horizons build and not the 1.5 patch Ships build. You would have thought FD would have patched us who do not own Horizons???????

Ditto here.... fast loading system map, but lose destination lock on exiting hyperspace.
