That’s what I did (half-a-billion) and will likely do a load more now.
Full Transfers, Full Stop.

I think its like 60% of the carrier? I don't recall.. I had enough after transfer one of the first things I did was buy a carrier...
Edited for clarity
I have transferred 10 billion between my friends PS and PC accounts using a carrier. Fdev literally screws players on their assets for an inferior service apparently based on what you said.
I’ve been parallel PS / PC for a few months now so have paid for ED twice and Horizons (PS) and Odyssey (PC) once each. I’ve got a good amount of playtime out of them, though, and don’t regret spending the money or - personally - feel like I need any cash out of them.
Some Arx on my PC CMDR so I can rebuy some/all of the cosmetics I have on my PS CMDR would sure be appreciated.
But, mainly, it’s Federal and Imperial Ranks; Engineer unlocks and Materials. And Credits, why not, whilst we’re at it though I am less concerned about those.
Some kind of package that got me a load of all that to catch my PC CMDR up with where my PS CMDR is and I could live with losing custom CG modules, etc … sure, I’d rather have ‘em but, 75% of what I want is better than nothing, right?
At this point I really do think FDEV at least need to offer something as an option … even if it falls short of covering everything.

Its really not
Ive had CS replace lost ships and credits with all of the modules. THEY CAN do it. They just dont want to spend the man hours.
that's just because FC's have to be liquidated before the transfer can be done, since they are present in all instances of the game (pc, console, horizons and odyssey )
Your PS license should entitle you to use the PC client and log into your PS account (or a facsimile of it) on that client. Of course, no one should compel you to make further use of that license, if you don't want to.
Again to be clear: It's not about money. I would buy the game again. Its my time. My 3000+ hours is worth way more to me than the price of the game.
This.
I totally get that. I felt much the same way. To be honest I saw this coming as far as consoles were concerned, it was inevitable. So I put together a plan, liquidated my Xbox account, and executed it. Started in January, and now I still need to get my combat rank up again, but aside from that I'm pretty much back where I was. Engineers and such done.
Happy for you, and at least you aren’t vindictive like the other person was being.
I think they CAN migrate a console account to a PC account. The problem is they will NOT at present be able to do it quickly.
when you set up an inara port for example, there are a few hurdles but “mostly” inara can copy your information from game and translate it into a profile. But there are always errors, things left out. They will have to go back and go line by line to ensure it all transferred, which takes time and money.
I suspect the credit transfer to an existing account as it exists now will continue on. But a full transfer will cost. Perhaps not at first, but eventually.

No reason to waste energy on such a thing, and in the end I made the decision to go with a console for a while, no one forced me. I suppose in the end, I'd rather spend time solving a problem lol. Just who I am.
Something is better than nothing, but anything less than everything seems dishonest to me, because that 'everything' should be effectively free for them...unless they see this as an opportunity to sell people something they already had and pad unit figures.
I understand that some consoles can run MSFS2020.
and what? Force them to work? That's called slavery.
It needs to be everything. Your ranks, engineer unlocks, full fleet transfer as is, fleet carrier transfer as is, first discovered tags etc too. All of it. 100% verbatim transfer.
have them remove elite off there console store.
To be fair, making a full account transfer from one platform to another can and very likely is MUCH more complicated than any 3rd party tool is doing. For 3rd party tools, the platform doesn't matter much, because the output is still the same regardless the platform. But the game internal systems/server must handle more - for example handle squadrons memberships and ownership, name collisions, transfer all the related data and assets and so on. On top of that, for such transfers must be proper systems made so in an ideal case players can transfer the account via an automated tool. All of that is a non-trivial amount of work.
