Jester986 Posted January 10, 2020 Share Posted January 10, 2020 Discounts dont stack, so the Hornet Owner Discount will come after release. Will not be available during pre-order/Early Access. In that case should Hornet owners just buy it in preorder or wait for the release for the best discount? Frankly I don't care either way because I don't mind supporting ED, but you know you'll have torches and pitchforks if we don't know which discount is better ahead of time. Some people will preorder thinnking that will be the best discount and other will wait. Which ever way it turns out you'll have angry people in the forum...

Shadow KT Posted January 10, 2020 Share Posted January 10, 2020 Yes I know it is a different area, but c'mon.... it is the same two countries...... Wait I wanna go a further up north or south ? Gotta load another map Environment and setting are the same I mean, I think everyone would be happy with that, win-win... like Normandy 2.0 or something anyway, everything else looks awesome... even more excited about 2.5.6 'Shadow' Everybody gotta be offended and take it personally now-a-days Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't have the info on the Hornet Discount at this time, but I think it will be on par with Pre-Order. But there will be different bundle options by then as well. So really up to people what they want to do. Forum Rules • My YouTube • My Discord - NineLine#0440• **How to Report a Bug** Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ED Team NineLine Posted January 10, 2020 Author ED Team Share Posted January 10, 2020 Don't see any mention about fixing or revamping combined arms issues including ground movement and logic. Its already been worked on last year, targeting through buildings got love, the issue with FPS and long paths is fixed internally waiting for 2.5.6. Issues with destroyed bridges is fixed internally and still getting tuned. Pathfinding will need love for things like Dynamic Campaigns...

xvii-Dietrich Posted January 10, 2020 Share Posted January 10, 2020 Thanks for the update, ED. :thumbup: The Channel Map was no surprise, that was leaked back in 2018 (ref). ;) Very happy to see the mention of searchlights! Also good to see that M45 AAA on its way. But, can you please add it to the Japan roster too? (I'm thinking ahead to a Marianas WW2 scenario, and being able to put some AAA - anything! - on the Japanese side would be appreciated!) But London wasn't seeing a ton of action in 44-45. I disagree. Maybe not massive-raids like what were happening over the Reich, but still action (involving the numbers of aircraft that we'd see in DCS anyway). For example... London was a target of Operation Steinbock (Jan-May 1944). Hit-and-run tactics continued thereafter, often with Jabos. The last raid was Operation Giesla (March 1945) with Axis/Allied aircraft losses of 22-v-24 on that occasion. Also over 2300 V-1 flying-bombs reached London, with the first being in June 1944. Over 1300 V-2 rockets were fired against London. Only April 1945 had things quietened down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To get London, we would have lost more of France, and I think the balance this map has right now is better.

AdmiralQuality Posted January 10, 2020 Share Posted January 10, 2020 Normandy was just updated, you should try the performance boosts. It is a different area, and unlike the Normandy map, we are getting highly detailed areas in the UK. BoB would be nice in the future when we have a plane set for it. But London wasn't seeing a ton of action in 44-45. I did. There was no "performance boost", it's as slow as ever. And once again you're telling us all the things that, according to you, this sim isn't meant to do. What *is* it supposedly good for? And does this mean they'll try to sell us yet another map someday that's appropriate for 1941 London? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ala12Rv-watermanpc Posted January 10, 2020 Share Posted January 10, 2020 Is my understanding that the work in the s-3 viking means work in the future improved AtA refueling right?

And does this mean they'll try to sell us yet another map someday that's appropriate for 1941 London? Everyone I have seen has seen some sort of performance boost with Normandy. Not sure why you are not. I am telling you the focus of the map, it doesn't include London, so you can let that go I think. It includes highly detailed areas in the UK and France and will be good for ground attack missions, escort and intercept, etc. Normandy was more about all the action is over France. This is more about France, UK and the channel. As always, the purchase is optional.

ED Team NineLine Posted January 10, 2020 Author ED Team Share Posted January 10, 2020 Roger THAT! Some great sales work there, Norm. What am I supposed to say to you, if you don't like a map, then you are not forced to buy it? Or you can buy it and put it on your Youtube page... either way. This is what is coming. As with anything new, it's up to the individual to want to buy it or not. I am telling you the detail on the UK side alone will make it a lot of fun... but that is me, and you are you. Anyone that loves cross channel WWII action will love this map.

Quekel Posted January 10, 2020 Share Posted January 10, 2020 Happy to see they are working on performance with the Vulkan API, but it didn't mention any VR specific updates which was quite dissapointing. Was hoping they would have some people working on VR performance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teldja Posted January 10, 2020 Share Posted January 10, 2020 The Normandy map doesn't have detailed UK towns and ports, or even airfields. The Channel map is farther North, with detailed UK and France. It will also work down the road if we get some BoB aircraft as well. Exactly and this looks fantastic. And yet both maps are including the same countries in the same setting during the same period of time, at least for France and England. The map could go all the way from the North of Bretagne (Dinard is already on the Normandy Map) to the Netherlands, including the South of England, this would be amazing ! So why the merging of both maps to create a new one wasn't an option ? Out of curiosity, is it a technical problem ? A contract issue with Ugra Media ? Both ? Or something else ? Thank you for taking the time to reply. I am looking forward to enjoy all the new improvements the developers have been working on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was hoping they would have some people working on VR performance. It's literally the whole point of Vulkan if you read the Newsletter: ;) In order to improve game performance, particularly in VR and take advantage of today’s hardware, we have been working on the integration of the Vulkan API into DCS World over the past year.
