Quick quality of life question here. I generally use Steam to launch ED which gives the option to launch the launcher or directly into VR. However, this defaults to Odyssey which I'm not interested in as it's an inferior VR implementation and so it ends up that I have to start it up in Odyssey, then quit the game, select Horizons on the launcher and then finally I get into Horizons VR. Meanwhile while using the launcher never launches the VR version, regardless of whether the headset is plugged in. Is there a quicker way of doing this when you've Odyssey installed?
Directly launching Horizons in VR

Had same problem, and it's annoying! Best solution is the mini-ed launcher on github - natty little program that makes it a single click to launch. If you're using Oculus, launch it from within the oculus airlink screen.

IIRC, there used to be an /EDH command line switch you could use to directly boot the launcher into Horizons. Possibly it still works.
Other possible arguments here: https://github.com/Rfvgyhn/min-ed-launcher#arguments
Plus: there's a /novr switch if you want to start the game with VR disabled even though the HMD is configured. I usually create shortcuts to the edlaunch.exe file on desktop and change the commandline args there accordingly.

There is a bug report that /EDH is broken if you have odyssey installed. Apparently they mucked up the mapping so even if you used /EDH it would start odyssey. Probably wont be fixed as it is a low-priority thing.. I cannot check if it still is the case since I uninstalled oddy for at least 6++ months until they get things sorted out. VR is a nightmare on it.IIRC, there used to be an /EDH command line switch you could use to directly boot the launcher into Horizons. Possibly it still works.

O7,
Is it possible to uninstall Odyssey, but keep Horizons installed?
(God, it's such a sad indictment on Odyssey that this is a real question)
I tried to uninstall it in steam. Ended up having to uninstall the whole game then reinstall with only horizons :/
Edit: But do check if /edh options works now just in case. If not then sorry bite the bullet and reinstall.
Just for reference, this is this bug report for the /edh /edo flags not working properly. https://issues.frontierstore.net/issue-detail/33154
A workaround was added the the min-launcher to make /edh and /edo work.
