Normandy Map Discussion

Thanks cichlidfan !!

The map could be set almost permanently to cold, overcast and raining, lol. It would make the map more convincing. The Europe feel and look to it.

Maybe this is not general knowledge "down under", but Normandy and the South of England is definitely not "The Europe - feel and look". There is a lot more to Europe than dreary English Channel weather :P

These screenshots are too much, i want it now...

Forecast for the next 6 months :P

Funtington, UK

Generally cloudy during the evening and overnight period, with occasional outbreaks of rain developing. These could then turn persistent and heavier for a time across northern parts during the early hours. Remaining murky along the English Channel coast.

That's not fair! We get blue skies and warm sunshine at least twice a year!

Twice a year.... You must live down south :megalol:

Some asked about different seasons for the normandy map. Im not quite sure but it looks like, we will get at least spring and summer.

Great pics :thumbup: but I dont know why do you think there will be spring at least, I cant see anything in the trees or something like that to guess that, am I missing something??

Btw, I like how the new ilumination looks but Im worried about shadows, Im yet to see a single shot where shadows look good and/or better than the ones we have now. They look very low quality, low res and undefined which I think that kills the great quality of the models.

Also, I was specting much more foam in the water and more waves in the coast, just like in RL...according with the pictures they are barely noticeable.

Hope to see more soon!!:thumbup:

EDIT: Also, I noticed a very high level of purple tint in shadowed areas which looks a bit too much, but only in some pics, others look perfect so I hope that excesive purple tint is not in the final version.

Its really only a very vague guess. I dont want to start a hype train on that.

See these two pics. First looks like spring, second like summer to me.

Ok, now I see what you mean, maybe you are right, it would be nice :thumbup:

I think the first one is earlier in the morning, the second later , but I can be wrong

Lots of ripe wheat/corn fields in the second screen shot so could be July/August, first one has green fields but the trees are in full leaf so hard to tell.

Stunning detail in both shots though. This map looks fantastic. :thumbup:

Where did you get those two pics PicksKing?

I can be wrong

probably :D grass color means nothing coz texture color of the superficial layer (farmlands/fields here) influences the grass color above

and in other seasons not only the grass color should change but the color of the whole vegetation (trees mainly)

Hi,

I hope there will be a filter like "WW2 units only" and no speculation ala "Unit xyz" - what are you ?

Facebook. There were 10 others. I linked them all to the normandy screenshot thread.

Thank you PicksKing, I missed that one.

DCS has a lot of blueish color, especially the 2.5. However I don't think it's a problem..

Those trees with the lighting.... :shocking:

Please finish 2.5 this year

Interesting, I don't see that. To me the colors look a bit "warmer" than before (in a good way).

That said, color perception is really subjective and does vary from person to person (our cones have different thresholds/sensitivities, etc), so there will always be differences of opinion.

To me, 2.5 looks as close to real as I have seen and the new lighting is very convincing. Add to that the new water rendering and grass - it simply looks awesome to my eyes.

interesting if the Normandy "airfields" can match with modern equipment.

I agree. Something else to consider are the runways in regards to length and being paved in order to accommodate modern jets.

I agree, the colors look warmer.

here's an example, maybe it's just my eyes, but I see blue in everywhere. Especially the shadows.

Thank you for the example. :)

To me it still looks more grey than blue, but again we may be perceiving it in very different ways (these differences in perception are well documented).
