Reflected Posted December 19, 2019 Share Posted December 19, 2019 Hi, First of all, thank you for updating the Normandy map, it's a huge improvement, IMO. There is a big problem though: Before, the areas outside of the high level detail areas were ugly, but usable. Now they've become much much worse, like in a 1994 game. Can we have the old "ugly parts" restored please? Thank you! E.g. near Calais, the "old ugly parts" still visible on the left side, but then the new ones take over: 2 Facebook Instagram YouTube Discord Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twistking Posted December 19, 2019 Share Posted December 19, 2019 are you sure, that you mean calais? i'm asking because calais is really far out from the maps focus area. that said, i guess it would still be good to have those areas look a little bit less like 1994...

ED Team NineLine Posted December 19, 2019 ED Team Share Posted December 19, 2019 Can you do a comparison shot or track from the old version? If you still have stable installed you sill still have the old version, or give me a track from OB and I will fly it in Stable to compare and send it off to them.

Reflected Posted December 19, 2019 Author Share Posted December 19, 2019 Something is definitely off on my end, and repairs don't help. I tried ot set terrain textures to high, no joy.

ED Team NineLine Posted December 19, 2019 ED Team Share Posted December 19, 2019 I dont think you are off, I noticed something weird as well, but I will view your track, then compare to old version, and report as needed.

Mosler Posted December 20, 2019 Share Posted December 20, 2019 i was about to say the same, also the sea cuts to ground suddenly something you will notice if you fly high near calais Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cunctator Posted December 20, 2019 Share Posted December 20, 2019 That seems to a limitation of the terrain engine. It's the same at the edge of the Persian Gulf map, deep in the Indian ocean, far far away from any detailed area, the sea suddenly ends. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weta43 Posted December 21, 2019 Share Posted December 21, 2019 They could just texture where the land starts off the map as sea, like the did with the Californian coast... 1 Cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolf8312 Posted December 24, 2019 Share Posted December 24, 2019 Yeah its a bad place to have this happen. The battle of Britain mission is fooking brilliant immersion wise in VR, but the terrain problem is a noticeable detraction/distraction! 1 ------------ 3080Ti, i5- 13600k 32GB VIVE index, VKB peddals, HOTAS VPC MONGOOSE, WARTHOG throttle, BKicker, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reflected Posted January 11, 2020 Author Share Posted January 11, 2020 Any words on this, please? Today I found this east of Rouen. That is not the sea. The sea is visible on the left side of the picture. The old "outside of the map lo-res" tiles looked bad, but quite OK for the purpose. This, however, is an immersion breaker for now. Fingers crossed for a quick fix. 1 Facebook Instagram YouTube Discord Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reflected Posted November 7, 2020 Author Share Posted November 7, 2020 Dear Ugra Media, It's been almost a year since this was reported. The Normandy map is in great shape, looks good and performance is awesome. But I'm really disappointed that this atrocious-looking area has not been fixed. The thread title says "Reported" but we haven't heard any official word from you guys. Please fix this. Thank you. 3 Facebook Instagram YouTube Discord Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Irishlad200000 Posted February 15, 2021 Share Posted February 15, 2021 Ugra Media need a kick in the ass. A year later and not even a reply. They have made a lot of money selling this map and have literally put the one finger up to paying customers. ED should be putting pressure on them to repair this. Really pissed off as it's a decent map, however a big black texture is breaking immersion!!!Sent from my SM-G981B using Tapatalk 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

philstyle Posted February 22, 2021 Share Posted February 22, 2021 This just highlights the problem with contracting this kind of work without the requirement for ongoing maintenance and improvement. There was one major update that happened a couple of years back which pretty much saved DCS WW2 at the time. A few more efforts like that could make this product properly competitive. There are so many issues still with the Normandy map. If only the same level of fidelity was put into this map that is put into the modern jet-related modules we'd be golden. Would that a team of customers could be put together and given access to this map.. a whole load of problems could be addressed such as the blank areas, rivers flowing up hills, broken road and rail pathing etc.... 4 On YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/philstylenz Storm of War WW2 server website: https://stormofwar.net/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
