Small typo with Advanced Space Compass?

[Makara]

This is one of those little things that has niggled at me for a while. While deliberately written this way, the phrasing seems a bit off.

When nearing a planet without the Advanced Space Compass, you get the message:

Code: Select all

This is (Planet) Traffic Control - For station approach, please follow the rectangle on your compass

Whereas with the Advanced Space Compass fitted the message is:

Code: Select all

This is (Planet) Traffic Control - For station approach, please select and follow the beacon N on your compass

Now the Advanced Compass also shows the rectangle for the station, and it is newly added as a selectable target after the message. However the N has been selectable system wide and also gets destroyed sometimes. It feels more natural (to me) for the Advanced Compass's message to also read "rectangle" instead of "beacon N" - although the comment about selecting it is still necessary.

It sounds like it's something you'd get when trying to land on a planet.... Have you got the planetfall oxp installed?

It's Traffic Control OXP, not Planetfall OXP (both mine). It's designed to take you to the station either way, and with the ASC both will be equivalent. But the N comes up a lot earlier (as you say from anywhere in the system), so is more accurate. You don't have to get anywhere near the planet for it to happen, as you do if you're following dots and rectangles.

Ooops - my bad. Didn't realise it was one of your additions
