Newcomer / Intro is there a way to increase info display time?

I was wondering if there was a way to increase how long the info comms will display messages or at least a way to view history? My problem is that I have a bad habit of missing what pad I am supposed to dock on when requesting to dock.
 
For the pad number specifically, it should be displayed in glowing blue letters just above your radar.

For the comms, you can scroll back up a small distance. For the info panel, I'm not sure; it would probably be useful though.
 
It used to be a context sensitive screen like the others in the cockpit so if you missed anything you could just look at it and it would show you it's history.
I'm not sure why it isn't anymore, maybe to save memory?
 
Learn to use the compass when docking (left of your scanner). Solid blue means it's in front of you, hollow blue means it's behind you. The compass will always point to your landing pad.
 
There's a "Comms screen" key binding in the controls config, you can use that to bring focus to the comms screen and display old messages.

The docking pad number is displayed at all times in the lower centre of the screen, unless it has disappeared in this latest update.
