Hehe, you have to fly to the planet first, put it in view and press J for time acceleration, it only works when no ship is near you.

Also 2 days ago David Braben started a kickstarter for Elite 4, it may finally be happening!

Sorry, but I do fly to the planets, (using jump where possible) and then around the planet at close altitude but no spacestation ever come into view or on the console (S) scanner.

I saw the Braben announcement, but that seems a long way off. Also why bother, when we already have the excellent Oolite? See www.oolite.org or Elite Wiki pages.
