Issues and workarounds:

Proximity assist can cause landing and takeoff issues - can be turned off in settings

Alpha 3.10 Targeting Notes:

Added cycling of Selected targets in the view cone. Targets now iterate in order of angular offset to the look direction (closest to - center first). Auto-selection is disabled while cycling, and turns on again once the player is no longer actively cycling.
Added the cycling of Locked targets in the view cone. Targets now iterate in order of angular offset to the look direction (closest to center first).
Added the cycling of all Locked targets in range, including those outside the player view cone. Can cycle hostiles, friendlies, attackers, and all targets. Each list will be sorted by distance (closest first). 'Lock Nearest Target' functionality is now implemented as 'Cycle Lock - - Reset to Closest'.
Order of targets to be cycled over will now be cached until the player is no longer actively cycling, or they reset the list. Which target - will be cycled to is now more predictable as a result.
Added ability to Lock the target under the reticle. By default, this shares a keybind with cycling Locked targets in view, but acts - contextually (if something is under the reticle, lock it, else cycle). Can be rebound to separate keys.
