I bet they squeal like pigs when that Cobra hits them, bounce and land a few Kms away, will have to try it myself.Wow I never thought of trying that! I usually time a dumbfire to arrive just as they hit the ground in a nice tight clump.

https://forums.frontier.co.uk/threads/multiple-accounts.580343/#post-9258163Ah, interesting.
My 3 accounts have separate installs, so that I can run them simultaneously in multicrew (can't do that from multiple launchers in the same folder). But if this caps out at Odyssey's 50gb, then that's 100gb for the 2 alts.
However, if I put launchers for the alts in the main account's folder, presumably I could run Horizons 4.0 with either of them (but not simultaneously). And use Horizons 3.8 if I want to multicrew.
I'm not PR expert like some people here (with their glorious strategy "force all people to buy new dlc ASAP, oh, buy arx!"), but I never would say my friend, which bought HZN, tried 4.0 and liked it "ok, if you want to play with me, let's jump to old, worse (for my friend) version, or buy new dlc".I can imagine someone from Fuel Rats or Powerplay communities who will need to help others, but cannot due to inability to start Horizons 4.0 to instance together - now they need to tell that other one to start Horizons 3.8 or buy Odyssey - was that FDev strategy to improve cash flow?
The easiest for FDev now is to add this hotdamn menu item to run Horizons 4.0 to Odyssey players. I would say it should happen before this thread reaches 50 pages if there is anyone clear thinking left at FDev.I think a lot of this angst could have been avoided if Frontier had called it "Odyssey Lite" rather than "Horizons 4.0".
Because that's what it is. But Odyssey Lite players can't instance with Horizons or Odyssey players, only other Odyssey Lite players.
Arguing in a public forum makes it everybody's business.Here's the thing you don't understand: I don't need to justify why I want the things that I paid for. My money contributed to this product, and if client 4.0 can run in Horizons mode, it means I don't need client 3.8 occupying 20 GB on my hard disk any more. Again, THIS IS WHAT I PAID FOR, and the reasons why I want it are none of your business.
Maybe you could get away with that today - but in a month's time all new Horizons players will probably have only played 4.0 (why would they even install 3.8?). So you'd then both have to go back and play a game that maybe neither of you recognise if you want to team up. Very strange decision from fdev this one.I'm not PR expert like some people here (with their glorious strategy "force all people to buy new dlc ASAP, oh, buy arx!"), but I never would say my friend, which bought HZN, tried 4.0 and liked it "ok, if you want to play with me, let's jump to old, worse (for my friend) version, or buy new dlc".
It is terrible strategy.
So then it would be relatively simple to set up a minimal launcher to launch Horizons 4.0 if owning Odyssey. Or even use the task manager trick to start it up. Strange that we don't get this option by default in the launchers, but there maybe some unknown reasons for this.Since people are a bit confused about which version of the game corresponds to which set of files, here's a quick breakdown.
In the Elite Dangerous\Products directory, there are two subdirectories:
- elite-dangerous-64 (around 19.8GB, these are the files for 3.8)
- elite-dangerous-odyssey-64 (around 50GB, these are the files for 4.0)
This is what gets executed for the various options in the launcher:
- Elite Dangerous (the base game with no expansions) : elite-dangerous-64/EliteDangerous64.exe with the "SeasonOne" argument
- Arena: elite-dangerous-64/EliteDangerous64.exe with the "CQCArena" argument
- Horizons 3.8: elite-dangerous-64/EliteDangerous64.exe with no arguments
- Horizons 4.0: elite-dangerous-odyssey-64/EliteDangerous64.exe with the "SeasonTwo" argument
- Odyssey: elite-dangerous-odyssey-64/EliteDangerous64.exe with no arguments
So having both Horizons 4.0 and Odyssey available would not add any extra files to the installation, they're all there already.
You want a refund for something you've been playing for a year??????OK, then give me my money back. If NOT owning Odyssey is the only way to access Horizons 4.0, I will gladly accept a refund on the DLC.
I would hesitate to suggest attempting it manually because the launcher retrieves a list of "authorized products" for the current login, and for Odyssey owners Horizons 4.0 isn't included (hence why it doesn't show up as a launch option).So then it would be relatively simple to set up a minimal launcher to launch Horizons 4.0 if owning Odyssey.

Others apparently feel differently!I didnt get it from the first time. Bruce post got me to understand them
So initially i was a bit disappointed i dont get Horizons 4.0, but not to the point of throwing a tantrum on the forums![]()
Naaah, i think your reading to much into itOthers apparently feel differently!![]()
Some have tried it already a long time ago with no repercussions, but yes maybe it's not an advisable thing to do.I would hesitate to suggest attempting it manually because the launcher retrieves a list of "authorized products" for the current login, and for Odyssey owners Horizons 4.0 isn't included (hence why it doesn't show up as a launch option).
I'm guessing that "Horizons 4.0" uses Odyssey bindings? My batch files will handle that, but it's likely to cause issues for some.
if they walk around, you can run them over or shoot them using your Srv - hence detailed and explicit violence >> PEGI16
or your ship... dumbfires do wonders...
Now if you were to plough your SRV into those walking NPCs...
You completely missed my point. The issue here is not why FDEV isn't fitting Horizons players in Odyssey. It's the actual opposite.
Odyssey Players cannot access Horizons 4.0how come?
you mean Odyssey players cannot log in Horizons 3.8?
