News Progress on Horizons

When i go into the horizons beta game it comes up fine but it has the wrong number of credits and my current ship in elite dangerous (ie the FDL) isn't in the game. I did a save and exit to desktop in the old game but it still did not resolve the credit and ship discrepancy. Anyone else see this situation?

Beta doesn't take a copy of you commander from "today". It'll be a copy of your commander from a few weeks ago.

And nothing you do in Beta will stick around long term or affect your real game, so... go crazy. :)
 
Great work, Frontier team. Smooth Beta start! I really enjoyed my first landings!
and I am still messing with the controls xD

btw. Is there an easy way how to find back to your ship once you landed on a surface station ?

improvement idea:
The SRV menu is blocking some of my ship movment controls during the landing process. Maybe it should only pop up after landing, when you actually can use it.
 
Is there any documentation on how to do this new stuff? Where can i get an SRV? Many other questions. I tried to land on a surface port and started getting shot at so that clearly wasn't the right thing to do.

Did you ask for landing permission ? it is the same procedure like for landing in orbital stations

This was a real head scratcher for me as well, but it appears you have to request docking from the SRV as well to get back into your ship.

Suspect that since you go far enough away your ship vacates the pad (you can then just call it back and fly back if you are out of range of the base).

I have another question.

SRV firing groups, I just can't get them to work but defining and trying to swap fire groups doesn't seem to do anything and I can't find a different keybind for SRV firing groups either.
 
Too many server interruptions at the moment to get into Horizons properly yet. Managed to land and buy a Python (for the first time) so far. Really looking forward to getting into this properly. Far too early yet. Anyway....I really have to do some real life things sometime hoho.
 
I start ED through my Steam program and EDs latest launcher. I bought the basic game (pre-QCC) through my steam then bought the Lifetime Pass. It always showed all the different selections when updates, betas, come out but why does it only show Elite Dangerous [32bit] and Single Player Combat Training at the bottom selection this moment? Its 636am Tuesday over here in Chicago. Whats the deal? If its out what should it say as a selection? Im just confused is to who is on Steam or not and where they are at with Horizons beta access.
 
Thank you so much Frontier all my PL dreams have come true epic work gents and SO "atmospheric" landing on the dark side installations and planets!
one word BRILLIANT!
Yes server crashes but this is beta oh and for the newbies before you go exploring fit your ship out for it went to planets 1st time and forgot the planetary interface thing and second to actually fit the lunar hanger lolz but Totally worth it, as this is Amazingly good cant wait to see what the future brings!
GG guys

Now I'm extra confused,

Within the game I don't see any planets with the blue half-circle icon to suggest they are landable. I launched Ships 1.5 64bit and noticed the SRV and entry module are purchasable. Yet the game crashes when I get close to a planet. I then tried Ships 1.5 32bit and I get close to the planet but then I fall out of orbital cruise. This is when I approached mercury (apparently this is one of the landable planets). Im wondering if the version I am running is the Horizons beta? as the HUD changes to standard flight mode with altimeter etc but I cant enter the planet, mega confused.

So then I try within the launcher to run Horizons Beta (which previously didn't even install yet it has a PLAY icon). It runs to my surprise.. but I cant even launch an open or solo game, .. moments after choosing either one, the game crashes.

I am completely confused now... any ideas?

The 1.5 beta is not Horizons. You need to have access to and run the Horizons 2.0 Beta in order to land on planets.
 
Looks and feels great, so much stuff to discover on surfaces. Keep your eyes on the scanner commanders :) The bases seem rather dull, but no problem, gonna stay in the wilderness most of the time anyway. Had an issue on planet base when I couldn't get back to the ship via hangar. Everything else seems to be working. Keep on the good work.
 
Expected SRV who is like a soap on wet floor, the other implanted features looks great ! BTW crashed a corvette on surface...
 
I tried hardly to go back to my ship in hangar... but didn't found how... sorry, I found one : self destruct :) :) really, can someone explain me how to get back to my ship in hangar ? thanks a lot !
 
Aside from a few niggles I'm up and running with Horizons and very happy.
A hugely impressive and significant achievement from the team and I now have way more options and opportunities to help survive the winter.
Planetary landing and SRV deployment was nicely intuitive but hoping to learn lots more from this evenings stream.

Go outside the compound and call the ship in. Only way I managed to get the ship back.

There is away to target your ship from the srv. Sadly I forget how I did it! This takes you back to the correct hanger. Enter from underneath I. E. Where you left from. Then you will be able to select board ship or whatever it says and away you go
