Instrument Landing System
Description
If you install the ILS equipment and put your target lock to a station then will use your steering controls and guide your ship into the dock. Meantime the speed controls are in your hand so you can ignite Injectors to arrive much faster than with the old Docking Computers.
Most NPC ships can dock faster also without roll, up to 95m width - all core ships except Cobra3.
The ILS mark the current waypoint with a white flashing lightball which will approach the dock if you go nearer to the station. You can temporary override the ILS steering but when you release your controls the ILS will turn your ship to the waypoint again.
You can stop if needed by lowering your thrust to zero, for example to avoid a collision.
ILS steering suspended until your ship is stopped, so if you want to do another than landing then you can stop and lock the station.
If you change or remove the target lock the ILS turn off automatically.
Another way to avoid ILS is the missile targeting mode: use the "t" key instead of "r" to lock a station and ILS will not switch on.
Warning: the current ILS can not rotate your ship at the last stage so if your ship is wider than the height of the dock then please roll manually to avoid crashing the wings into the station.
