Well, I enjoy manual docking. So this thing isn't for me; unless I get a 'conda. To me, part of the fun is the actual docking. I might own one if it was just a software upgrade that took no space, but it most likely would never be used past once or twice to make sure the thing works. But hey, if it's your thing and you want one, go for it. To each their own.

Same here. Specially now that I'm flying large ships (Anaconda and Cutter). I like to come in low on the pad as quickly as safety allows me and just cut the gas when over the dot and get docked. But each ship has its own thing in landing. After landing the Anaconda for several months, I had to learn how to gage the altitude of the Imperial Cutter so that I could dock when I get right over the dot on the landing pad. I rarely use the vertical thrusters, only when I'm coming in too fast or didn't pay attention and I'm in a botched landing.
I've never had that happen? I have heard it happens on some overclocked systems.
Sounds like a bug, which if you haven't already done so you should report to FD via the usual routes.
Equipped a DC on my Python as I was doing some trading to build funds. First time I've used one since 1.2.
Throttled back and was startled by the booster going off sending me headlong toward an outpost. Took a leap of faith to not wrench the controls. It's certainly been improved in both speed and stability. I've outrun scans using the DC (Not that I had anything nefarious on board at the time).
When smuggling I hit zero thrust coming through the mail slot and the DC picks up, slows me down and lands nicely. Very well done.

Recently got one of these on my ship, has made the life of this space trucker so much easier
From the launcher, top right 'Support', then 'Contact Us', and follow the prompts.
Theres a 10 minute timer?
Timed out. Fly out. Ask again. Try again. Perfectly land my damn plane. For another 10 solid minutes.
I have to admit that i never tried the dc yet, but i do have vr and that just makes docking so much fun.
But mind you, i forgot about the music from 84 elite so might try it just for that.

DC is a must. Otherwise I would not have time to drink my coffee, wash my dishes or take a break to the toilet. [big grin]
It was designed like that, it's a price you pay for being lazy, tbh I hope they never change it.
well that was one of the reasons, to be honest, the ONLY REASON, why i did buy that piece of crap. but as u can already see, im not satisfied. the music is FAR to quiet. the whole game is far to quiet btw. its the only game i have to double my amplifier while ALL - repeat - ALL OTHER GAMES got a better volume.
anyhow, the music of the LC is far too quiet. even the thrusters are louder. i do expect that background noise is BACKGROUND NOISE and that INDOOR MUSIC is LOUDER than OUTSIDE NOISE.
wake me up when frontier is finally fixing this.
