Discussion Landing pad underneath you

Hi @Scarlette Starr , I can understand you very well. I had the same feeling when landing on planetary stations at the beginning of ED. But I was able to free myself from the feeling. I approach the stations as follows: First I look where the angled deflectors are (they fold down when you take off) or where the landing site number is. Now you know the direction/location of the landing pad. Then I slowly fly directly towards the number of the landing pad (number at the rear end of the landing pad). Stop when the number starts to disappear. Now slowly descend. 95% of the time you are on the right spot on the landing pad.

Greetings from nepomuk :cool:

Nepo i am well able to land, that isn't the issue. The issue i have found is landing on HEAVY worlds. if i dont have a auto land and sometimes with it as mentioned, i have difficulty finding the spot. I have had the world pull me into a crash as i was lining up for landing with full upward thrust. Those planets are a pain.

That's why I prefer a shallow approach and land plane style on Hi-G worlds. Not that I consider Laksak Hi, it's merely inconvenient. Still shallower angle, plane approach, no probs. I dunno how people even land like the NPCs do with the vertical descent. 😛
