Its a mess.

We should have only one version.... A utter utter mess and horizons needs to be switched off.

14 kind of does this. 3.8 is now essentially dead. it is there for those on console and pc players who absolutely refuse to move but essentially 4.0 horizons and ED:O is elite dangerous. it's not perfect but over all this is a better choice for the future of the game.
having horizons 4.0 isn't a problem imo

to me its a different game with its own benefits

That's the crux of it, it should have been a different game instead of shoehorned into Elite which has always been primarily a space ship game and has a plethora of space ship based content that they could have chosen to improve, update or add, instead we got Odyssey which significantly tanked performance and did the rest of the game no favours whatsoever all because somebody at FD persuaded the bosses that they could pull in the COD crowd and then failed in spectacular fashion.
 
My bet with them finally splitting 3.8 from 4.0 is they are going to be adding base building, or something along those lines which would need the "data" for a planet updating with assets from the 4.0 client, which wouldn't show up at all in 3.8. Hope whatever they have in mind is worth it.

I've been with Elite since launch, very very few updates have been anything more than the minimum viable product and a disappointment, they talk a good game and yet somehow, almost without fail manage to under deliver lmao.

Personal Homestead? That's peaked my interest....
 
Homesteads....

Nope sorry it's about time they introduced new ships, got rid of the stupid guardian requirements for killing thargoids and made space interesting. Building a space shed on a empty moon is not interesting.

Man I love this game and hate the decision makers for this game.

I would like building a base of my own tbh. the thing is I would want to personalise it. I bet if we get them they will be generic and any personalisation will be paid cosmetics which do not interest me at all.
 
The game has been a mess of poorly managed, poorly designed, ill considered shallow bolt ons for most of its development now. One huge missed opportunity...
 
Erm
So I booted up Horizons as its been ages since I've played... Had to redo my bindings. Which has taken hours.

Biggest issue is I'm on a planet in the SRV at the jameson crash site.
But my ship seems to be missing.
My rebuy is 268 credits. And I cant recall my ship.... Cant find that in any menus. So i'm assuming my ship doesnt exist anymore......
 
You cold try the old "launch in pre-horizons mode" trick to put you back in space in your ship. By that I mean open the launcher and at the bottom where it says Elite Dangerous Horizons, go one down to where it says just Elite Dangerous and select that then launch the game. Since this is the old old version of the game before srv's it will put you back in your ship in orbit. Better do it now because once this 3.8/4.0 split thing happens this will probably no longer be possible. If this doesnt work then opening a ticket with FDev would sort it, if you can be bothered with that sort of thing.

That Sorted it mate. Thanks
Still having a mare with the Bindings though. Throttle doesn't work until half way then doesn't put full speed.
Had enough for tonight though.. I'll try again tomorrow
 
I cant believe how infuriating this is.
Having to set all my keybindings back up.

I'm stuck!!
How do i cycle through the UI menus? I'm VR so it opens when I look at it. And I have a binding to move tabs
I can access say the navigation menu, But then I can't work out how to then move to the sub menu's or select a destination in that menu.
I know its going to be a keybind but whats it called.
And I thought DCS was complicated

You are aware that the PS4 version is now dead in the water right? No updates for it other than critical fixes.

Yep - but this is a xmas present for my nephew, who doesn't have a PC powerful enough to play games, so he can just tootle around in offline mode on his PS4 and be very happy for a while :)
Thanks for pointing it out, though.

I'll have a look after I've calmed down.... I set the Virpil Throttle to 32 button mode (so elite sees multiple USB) and its killed my DCS Bindings.....
Thought gaming was supposed to be fun........

Finally got it 50% set back up.... But also managed to get VoiceAttack sorted too.
Loads of things I'd forgotten about too...
Loads of new things too....

Guardian stuff??
I think I've only got a couple of engineered systems so far.... Is that still a PITA grind
