What happened to Super Cruise Assist? It's GONE

Took a long break from ED. Back. Currently taking a trip to Hutton Orbital (never been there in the 5 years I've been playing). Locked it up once in Proxima Centauri and went to Nav to set SC assist on and - NOPE - the assist icon just to the right of the lock on icon not there. Searched around a bit. No joy.

What happened to it? If it still exists how does one now enter it. If not then that begs the question what good is an advanced docking computer now?

ASIDE: before anyone decides to say just get gud and you won't need it - I've made 1000's and 1000's of manual docks. A couple of years ago I got lazy and bought a docking computer. Got spoiled. Then got banged up pretty bad in a combat. Canopy open to space. Life support down to minutes. Had to manual and WHAM! To bad, so sad - out of practice - rebuy!

So now I requal myself by doing 10 manuals in a row every month or so. Which works. (like this morning before I took off for Hutton - 10 manual docks at home station prior to punching the witch space button)

But if you've got something genuinely funny/amusing/hah hah worthy post it. Otherwise...
 
docking computer = gets your Beluga into the station
advanced docking computer = gets your Beluga into and out of the station
super cruise assist = gets your Beluga to Hutton (no modul for landing it there though...)
 
And if you do have a supercruise assist module fitted, is it turned on? I know I turn my docking computer off for planetary landings when I need to... uh. Maintain control of utilities during the landing.
(I just wish there was a way to switch docking off without having a nonzero throttle or turning FA off, freakin' ECM has a hotkey that I've never used in my life while toggling the docking computer means switching it off on the power panel and the shutdown field neutraliser needs a fire group)
 
Imagine HOMER SIMPSON doing the forehead slap/DOH!

How soon we forget. LOL at myself now.

You could turn off the ADC module on the right hand panel where you control the power priorities.

Edit: And that you knew already... Noticed now after second reading.
