With fast and agile ships sometimes it is really difficult to precision maneuver the ship in all axes (vertical and lateral strafe, pitch and yaw). Using landing mode only limits your throttle - forward/ backward strafing. My workaround was to use Joystick Gremlin to combine all my devices (and I have plenty) into one virtual vJoy and creating two modes, one for normal flight (normal joystick curves - pic 1) and one for precision maneuvering (curves at ... insert % here... I use 50% - pic 2). Modes circle using an assigned joystick button (pic 3). Joystick Gremlin can be found at https://whitemagic.github.io/JoystickGremlin/
