Following on from my last thread on this subject, https://forums.frontier.co.uk/showthread.php?t=148934
Now with the new fixes in beta 6 from SJA (Sarah) more tests on the DC continue, my first test was again from behind a station, and i tried to get right in the middle of the framework, but also giving the DC a fair chance of getting clear.
Remember that in a normal approach you would not make it so difficult for the DC to dock.
(but i do for testing)
But the DC passed this first station test with flying colours, i switched on my head-tracker to look around, and it looks like the DC firstly boosted well clear, then took an approach vector to a position in front of the station before heading in to dock.
Excellent work Sarah (FIXED)
Now to find some more interesting stations, see if i can break it anywhere.
Watch the test:

So here we try an outpost with the Python, again no problems, i just love the nosedive, even in a Python.

Here docking at another Orbis configuration in the Python, from behind the much larger rings, DC worked great, did seem to pause before heading for the letterbox, but maybe another ship coming out, i couldn't see below me. Darn.. Just can't break it yet.

Now if you lower your landing gear first, then you will approach in more leisurely fashion, like this.
