Go on try it....

I believe that's already confirmed by way of the docking computer really being the station taking over your controls (can't remember where I saw that bit of canon)
Successfully docked without rotation correction a couple weeks ago.
Now want to try to dock with both rotation correction and flight assist turned off.
Video or it never happened ;-)
I turned it off a few nights ago before going to bed, and forgot I had done when I returned. That was one heavily trashed hauler...
I wouldn't turn it off permanently, but I've been known to turn if off to save bother.
Sometimes the pad is overhead. Why fly up and turn round when you can position yourself over where the dock is going to be in a few moments, turn off correction and allow the station to rotate the dock into place. Turn it on again for final decent.

Well done!
Pretty messy though

Thanks! First attempt... next time it will be better
Kudos to you, Sparkam...very impressive
Touch up the paint and it'll be good as new
Various sources but Newsletter 17 was the first mention I remember of certain stations not having rotational assistance:
Some stations will provide automatic rotational assistance to make docking easier. Of course not all stations come with this luxury and for players in the alpha wanting to see this they can turn off the assistance in their in-cockpit options.
For the truly skilful player there is an art in turning off the rotational correction and flight assist for a full manual landing, it’s a thing of beauty when done correctly!
Well done! A few scrapes but a docking none the less!
You win...erm..some kudos....
