Decide which is going to be you main version, and remove the FC from the other. Problem solved.
I am really disappointed that Galnet and Community Goals are being shut down in 3.8. That's what basically keeps me playing. Frontier is going to have to change their marketing of Horizons on Steam and especially on console, because as of right now people are still buying Horizons 3.8 (based both on what they actually download from Steam and the advertised specs), and soon this version will no longer be the "living game" it's currently promoted as.

If you're stuck on foot you can still log in to Horizons version to get transported into the orbit in your ship - in Live mode, is my understanding. I think that was the person was asking about.
Not aware of any workarounds that would require relogging to 3.8 specifically.
So once the profile split happens, us FC owners will have to either maintain two versions of our FC or decomission the ones in the Legacy version?

I don't believe you'll need to re-download 3.8.
New cosmetics will be available on both profiles as long as those cosmetics exist on both versions. I.e. you won't need to buy anything twice. In cases where the cosmetic only exists on Live, you won't have it on Legacy.
I think they are both independent of each other and are consistent with themselves only.

Those are the choices! I suppose letting them slowly decay into the decommissioning process is a third option, but that does seem like a waste of credits.
Will Legacy mode still get CGs? If so I assume it will have seperate leaderboards for them?
Third-party tool maintainers everywhere: "Aaaarghaaaaaaaaghghaaaaaghghghaaaaaa!"
More seriously: I understand why, but will there be some obvious indication in the Journal files as to whether the 3.8 or 4.0 galaxy is being reported on, and if so, is that documented already?
I hope the mining bugs are scheduled to be fixed, because atm it only really works in 3.8.
Bring back one single galaxy: EDO/EDH together and get rid of legacy lol.

We are in touch with third party tool developers to help with this transition and answer those sorts of questions.
That's great. As a third party tool developer, how I can I be included in this conversation?

I'm sure what comes next will be very exciting, but the console news is very sad to hear.
We've got a great many console players who can't afford a PC for Elite, or simply don't want to switch - and are now locked out from affecting the same galaxy as the rest of us.
I know this has been a foregone conclusion for a while now, but at least being able to work on the same goals seemed like a decent compromise.

Wait a minute....
One question of importance.
If I have a few places 50k Lightyears from the Bubble I tend to visit whenever I go out into the dark and I value these in their Horizons state (Simply because the new planet generation made them look bad).... Does that mean I have to leave the bubble in Legacy mode (no Odyssey exploration).
In other words: I can't go exploring in Odyssey, visit my usual places and quickly swap to Horizons to see them in their original beauty?
I'd really like a clarification on this one.

As mentioned in the post, no new Community Goals will be added to Legacy.
One taboo question: I assume 3.8 (even when legacy) mods remain verboten? (i.e. the T.O.S remain identical between versions, even though one is now being disconnected from reality)
