Actually, if you center your compass with the solid dot directly in the center, it will point directly to the center of the landing pad. Then as you approach and you raise your nose, the solid dot will drop to the bottom of the compass. When you are directly over the center of the landing pad, the solid dot will change to a hollow dot. If you are left or right of center, the dot will be bottom left or bottom right, too.
The landing pad problem is so bad, and is still so bad, even though they said it was supposed to be fixed, that I generally look at my compass first, and then look for the hologram. This is especially helpful for the first ring of pads where the pad numbers may be out of sight.
I also have a problem at outposts, where if an NPC is on the pad and takes off, my landing assist radar won't work (medium pads - ticketed). It happens every time on any outpost I've visited (with an NPC occupying the pad). Anyone else have this problem?
