That isn't hooning according to the thread OP's descriptions.
Open Letter to E:D Odyssey Dev Team regarding planet surfaces, canyons, "hooning" and the risk of accidentally exterminating the very active niche

It's just decoupled spins while flying in a straight line over mostly flat terrain. It looks fancy, it's not super complicated. There's not really a sustained challenge in that. People really looking to scratch that itch will seek out content designed specifically to meet their needs:
Fly: Dangerous comes the closest to the same sort of impact I've seen of anything for the feeling, excitement, challenge, and variation that you get from hooning some of the best Horizons locations. In many ways it exceeds it, having the flexibility of being a game specifically built for that purpose without being restrained by the mechanics imposed of being a "sandbox open world" game that Elite uses to throw roadblocks into the way of gameplay.
Can't wait to see where FD goes as it develops through alpha.
I Hoon a lot but the red warning lights make doing so a risk of seizure
If they're not lit, you're not doing it right! The terrain should kill you faster than a seizure anyway...
Alternative Facts™In fact most of recent Elite Week titles have been ... um ... factually challenged
That’s why I use the Amazingly Realistic Immersion Mod and just turn them off entirely! Otherwise I’d go mad.

Amazingly Realistic Immersion Mod
UPDATE - The latest version of this mod is available in this post from this very long thread. This is the last update I'll be making before Odyssey releases. For those who want more customizations and fine-tuning of their HUD, I recommend checking out EDHM, which is more user friendly than mine...

That doesn't look like it's loaded in all the textures... surely?
Common problem in Odyssey (I can't be the only one who frequently sees garbage like this?)
No, I sometimes see this (though less so since a GFX card upgrade and the more recent patches)
I see lots of commanders posting screenshots saying the planet tech sucks - and it kinda bugs me that, they think it's the planet tech sucking, when it's a bug existing that's making things suck. (there are things about the tech that aren't great though of course, just, this bug isn't the tech itself)
Those are two separate things to me, no point in criticizing the planet tech itself, when the planet tech isn't working, shout about the bug causing graphical errors, yes, indeed, but equating it to the planet tech itself is kinda wonky.
...no point in criticizing the boat, when the boat isn't floating...
What a sweet boat!
Not sure if this one is suitable

What I mean is, don't criticise the design of the boat, ask for the hole in the boat to be fixed.
They are different things, one is a design problem, the other is a manufacturing problem.
The designer can't solve the manufacturing problem, and vice versa.
The grotesque large-scale copy pasta and lacking ofterrain like large canyons is definitely part of the design.
