FA off and thrusters

[777Driver]

Rotational correction has [size=+4]NO[/size] effect with flight assist off.

Actually it does, I'll dig up one of my old vids. rotational correction is only active inside stations (FA ON & OFF)

My preferred method is to always fly into a station FA-OFF (Correction ON) If you fly with both OFF, the ship wont sink towards the pad without manual input.

In the video I fly into the station with Both FA & RC switched off, From 2m 05s into the video I put the ship into a stable hover. Watch what happens when I enable RC and the thrusters start matching rotation, as expected the ship begins to drift towards the pad.

Ok I've given it a go and I don't see any difference in how my ship is acting or handling when swapping between RC on/off while I'm FA-off.

Feel free to let me know if you spot any differences. But for now I'll not bother to worry about it too much

Only watched the first 25 secs, you flew into the station with RA ON. Correction needs to be off before you enter the station. Have a quick scan off my video above.

Depends when you turn off rotational correction. If you do so whilst in side the station you'll already be matching the rotation and so will maintain that when you turn off flight assist and rotational correction. Then it's just a matter of carefully thrusting down and sideways to remain "in orbit" around the axis of the stations spin until you touch down. So long as you don't mess that up it is pretty easy to do.

I remember once messing around with some settings and turning off RC. Landed at an outpost, logged out and was gone on a business trip for a few days. Logged back on with the usual updates to the computer and other software. Flew to an Orbis station and couldn't figure out why landing was so difficult. The closer I got to the pad, the faster the pad would slide sideways! After reloading drivers for the joystick, messing with the keybinds and 6 kinds of hell I stumbled across the unchecked RC setting... DOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

The worst part was getting my settings back to where they were... [yesnod]

I'll give it another shot later entering with RC off and video it. I've been fly RC off night so far and still can't tell any difference tbh.
