That's interesting for aesthetic / edited video landings, I'm keeping the trick ;) I generally just quickly go inside another's hangar (not obstructing or knocking in any way), land in an angle, in the peasantiest way possible (ideally reversed), leave ship before it gets towed, use another ship then The confusion of other one is always priceless when I call elevator and wait for him/her to take it with me :D

@@AngelicStreak I mean, you can see that it does exactly what I said in 3.23, we know wind already does affect ships as you could see when ships blew away on Hurston when the wind there was over tuned. And now, in 3.23 decoupled counter acts gravity with landing gear up or down, just just when it is down like in 3.22. I don't know where your definition of decoupled comes from, as I see it, it is up to CIG to define exactly what it means, but they could very well give us options to turn off gravity and wind assist, I could see those options being useful in a Gladius when you're trying to fly purely through lift, control surfaces and main engine like a plane.

Vectors are the worst for people starting out, Hear me out haha. Because you have eyes and a brain you can see the ship is moving and the direction it is heading even in space. a icon is dumb. Velocity indicator is only for people that are not bright cookies. You do not need it to tell you where u are going you can clearly look out the fake window and see the ship is moving. See if you fly a heli or a plane don't even get these haha you have to FEEL for it you have to see and feel how the machine is handling if you give yourself a icon too look at you lose focus on what you are doing providing the means for the computer to handle it for you. You learn nothing. when I was learning low flying I kept crashing over and over again. My eyes was not on the landscape or Alt indicator my eyes was on the stupid velocity indicator. I ended up loosing focus on how to control the ship and my surroundings. When I shut these feature off and all its assisting settings i went from pure trash to now feeling the ship as if i was part of the machine itself. if you want to show off shooting past a tiny hole while doing loop-de-loops sure keep vector on..... But off will make you pro. But for people starting out to truly learn the ship you are flying you need to understand how it moves if you leave that up to a vector people wont really grasp the feeling of flight. they just set a marker where it needs to be and forget about the rest making it arcade style gameplay and you depending on a icon to keep you safe.

Nice video, though I disagree with keeping the boost enabled during spacebreak. The reason you turn it off is so that you can more finely tune exactly how much thrust you want to apply when adding reverse power in any direction, rather than using 100%. Thrust translation (Up, Down, Left, Right Strafe) should be able to slow your ship enough if the descent is properly planned. Boost should only be needed if you misjudge or need to make a last minute correction, or to abort. Personally, I think pilots would be better served in learning how to land without it, forcing you to learn the flight characteristics of your aircraft more precisely. The landings you have when you do it this way are definitely a bit more challenging, but look and feel even better to the outside observer.
