how to copy odyssey alpha keybinding into the base game?
- Thread starter n4p0l3on
- Start date
I believe they are the same, so no copying required just map the controls in Alpha & they should be there in the live game too.
Same with graphics settings (I normally play in 4k, downsized to 1080p for the Alpha & next time I loaded the live game it was set to 1080p).
And yes, rebinding is a pain
If you look in C:\Users\<your userprofile>\AppData\Local\Frontier Developments\Elite Dangerous\Options\Bindings and sort the files by date modified you should be able to find your old bindings file, although diagnosing why the game hasn't loaded it (some USB device not plugged in that the game expected to see) might not be obvious.

I sometimes unplug my EDTracker and the game fails to load next time I run it. Look for a file in the Bindings folder called BindingLoadingErrors.log which will tell you if this is your problem.
They are not. Changes made in edo don't carry over to horizons bindings, and visa versa. Edo has more bindings, so horizons won't load them I suspect.I believe they are the same, so no copying required just map the controls in Alpha & they should be there in the live game too.

It's funny how no one give you an aswer to the issue.
Go to your main disk - probably C/Users/AppData/Local/Frontier Developments/Elite Dangerous/Options/Bindings
Then you need to figure out which one of files is the one you are using. For me it's
Custom.4.0.binds
For you it's likely to be the same.
4.0 - Is Odyssey
3.0 - Is Horizons
In order to move bindings from Odyssey into base game, you need to copy past 4.0 file starting from
<KeyboardLayout>en-US</KeyboardLayout> and finish it with </SAAThirdPersonFovInButton> part.
You need to copy past everything that starts from this <KeyboardLayout>en-US</KeyboardLayout> (including it) and everything between it and </SAAThirdPersonFovInButton>.
I suggest to use Notepad++ for this.
Everything else after </SAAThirdPersonFovInButton> is related to Odyssey. Once you figure out how to do this, you can also copy past your binding from horizons to odyssey.
Thanks mate!
I still am struggling with a similar problem so you might be able to kindly help me with that
1. I did all the bindings in Odyssey, all was working fine.
2. I renamed the binds file to MUTZEL_WARTHOG_2.binds, changed the 2nd line accordingly and edited startpreset.start
3. Started Horizons, now:
- ED created a new MUTZEL_WARTHOG_2.4.0.binds
- ED changed the entry in startpreset to the standard ThrustMasterHOTASWarthog
I do not find your </SAAThirdPersonFovInButton> entry in the 4.0 file.
Edit: One of the weirdest things is that it created a 4.0 file when I started Horizons where 4.0 is supposed to be the Odyssey binds? °-°
Edit 2:
So I tested it again since I found that only three entries in my keybinds and the game created were existing (so the game created Horizons binds file included the "Humanoid" entries!
1. After copying my Odyssey keybinds over to the game created 4.0 binds file (incl. editing the 2nd line and changing startpreset.start) I started Odyssey. All fine. The game created four entries with my keybind names in startpreset.start (all correct):
MUTZEL_WARTHOG_2
MUTZEL_WARTHOG_2
MUTZEL_WARTHOG_2
MUTZEL_WARTHOG_2
2. I started Horizons, game wanted to start with generic keybinds. In the Options I switched to MUTZEL_WARTHOG_2. Then the game changed startpreset.start to only one entry of MUTZEL_WARTHOG_2.
3. Started Odyssey again and the four entries are back in startpreset.start.
At least now I have the same binds in both.(edited)
