SRV / Scarab controls

I suggest an additional option in the driving controls menu, to have the SRV Drive-Assist behave exactly like it does in Horizons.

Reason:
In Horizons, I drive the SRV with drive-assist enabled, because it's easier that way to hop into the turrent and drive simultaneously. Especially the brake / handbrake assistant is very helpful.
In Horizons, in tight places like the Guardian Structures, this allows for very precise maneuvering at very slow speeds around sharp corners.

Trying the same in Odyssey, this is very VERY frustrating:
  • When I push the throttle forward just a little bit, the SRV does ... nothing at the first few seconds ... only to speed up way too fast afterwards.
  • Trying to foresee / adjust how much throttle I need to reach the actually wanted slow speed, this is futile: It always is either way to speedy, or a complete stop.
  • Thus, it is just impossible to drive at very slow speeds, doing precise maneuvering around obstacles or crouching upwards on steep ramps.

Because I like driving on planets, this is a real show-stopper for me :(
I will stick to Horizons until precise slow-speed maneuvering has returned to Odyssey.

I can second this.

I use my HOTAS to drive, its actually very comfortable the way I have it set up, and when I push forward on the throttle it takes about three seconds for the SRV to respond. Similarly, acceleration is inconsistent. Sometimes its smooth, sometimes it goes crazy and accelerates as hard as it can, spinning out or worse, causing damage.

I have found using other inputs the SRV behaves the same.
