Since I have just started and had already more small problems ... this thread may come handy for someone ...
[heading]External view in demo controls?[/heading]
Demo do not have such setting, you need to go to a "real" game, where you will see in Miscellaneous option "Debug camera toggle" where you can assign key as you want.
[heading]Docking on outpost[/heading]
After you will request permission to dock, there is displayed dock number ... also depots have more landing pods and they can be on base different sides. So search for dock with "yellow" rectangles and corresponding dock number around station. If you will try stubbornly dock on wrong dock number, you will get short warning and then will get reward with the "wanted status" and a bounty on your head.
[heading]Fresh re-start[/heading]
If happens some issues like "wanted" status right on start, it may be good solution "clear data" from options in main menu and do a fresh start.
[heading]Controls (axis direction) get reversed suddenly [/heading]
Well, it is very likely not suddenly ... isn't that in moment when you deployed a landing gear? (you want dock and suddenly all controls get crazy ... and there is a very good chance that your ship, or joystick, will get some damage ). Solution is very easy ... go again to controls, scroll down, more down and find out a section with controls for landing ... there you may find that settings there are different as these used for normal flight in free space.
