Some people find that this doesn't work. The problem is most likely due to EDMC using the logs from a different copy of Elite: Dangerous than the copy that you're running. When looking for the log files, EDMC assumes: - That you're running "Horizons" 64bit, if you have both Horizons and Season 1 installed. - That you're running from Steam, if you have both Steam and non-Steam versions installed. +In more detail, EDMC looks for the folder `elite-dangerous-64` in the following places: +1.
