Elite Dangerous: Odyssey Update 4

Great to see so many fixes and tiny tweaks but for the love of god will you please fix the glaringly obvious station hologram not matching the actual station orientation issue. You broke this in Horizons and made an attempt at fixing it, it's still about 15 degrees off. This matters if you're trying to sneak in. Now it's broken again in Odyssey, and big time, the orientation does not match in supercruise OR in normal space. There are several tickets in for this, this is one of them https://issues.frontierstore.net/issue-detail/27499 , this one has made it to the voting stage. Oh my bad. Just got into the the game and checked this, seems to have been fixed.

Have you seen that video of the Lizard running across the land, and all the snakes come out and try to eat it?

That's how I feel right now. Or at least how Odyssey feels right now.

ORANGE SIDEWINDER COMMANDERS

Back on the investigation. Will update asap. My replies to your other queries might slip a little in the meantime, bear with me :)

Planet Earth 2 narrated by David Attenborough? The Galapagos scene in the Islands episode with the marine iguana hatchlings trying to sprint from the hatching grounds to the shore rocks through a swarm of snakes (can't recall the species)? Very memorable scene (and yes, we own the collection).

Sadly, still getting Orange Sidewinders here.
 
also experiencing this issue. cant load into ody without orange sidewinder, blank screen trying to exit or go into some training options. horizons loads just fine.
 
ORANGE SIDEWINDER UPDATE

We believe we've found the issue and knocked it out of the game. You should now have a more stable experience, so anyone still trying - would you have a go for me please and let me know :)? Thanks!
No luck here, sits on the loading screen for ages, then Orange Sidewinder.. also client hangs when you close to the desktop and you have to kill the task via task manager. Logging into Horizons is fine though.

@sallymorganmoore Can you pass along a message to whoever it may concern... This... https://issues.frontierstore.net/issue-detail/35191 has been a problem since the launch of Odyssey, 5A frameshift drives do not show up anywhere in Odyssey, people have to load into horizons just to find and install them. 3rd party sites like EDDB show them present at stations, but in Odyssey they are just not there. It's so frustrating, I don't have Horizons installed now, having to download it just to aquire a 5A frameshift drive is maddening :(
 
Still getting Orange Sidewinders, only seemed to happen to me in Odyssey (seems fine in Horizons) upon trying to drop into a station or log in while docked at one. I was able to travel in supercruise fine, hit an exclusion zone, and got interdicted by an NPC pirate after with no issues.
 
If Frontier really wants to improve on customer communications a presentation of the changes as YT channel would be nice.
Talk about issues, talk about solutions, but don't hold back.
