Normandy Map Discussion

Bear in mind anyway you'll probably need stable version when 2.5 is out (whenever that happens). Current 2.0.5 is just Alpha, and who knows but I don't think that version would update to Beta, and stable as long as there are already both separated installs for those.

 

 

S!

I think it's safe to say that the 2.5 upgrade will happen from the 2.X branch, and not from the 1.5.X branch. If that turns out to be wrong, well Ill deal with that when the time comes. :)

2.0 -> 2.1 -> 2.5

1.5 is T3 and Doesnt Support Multiple Terrains, 1.5.x Gets all the code updates, bug fixes etc etc that 2.0 does, but still runs T3 Terrain Engine.

1.5.x - T3 - Caucasus T3 Version

2.0.x - T4 - NTTR Open Alpha

2.1.x - T4 - NTTR + Normandy Closed Alpha for DCS WWII Backers (Per Wags Live Stream), Deferred Shading Etc.

2.5.x - T4 - NTTR + Normandy + Caucasus T4/HD/Remastered, Deferred Shading, PBR, Etc Etc.

Timing for Branches hasnt been announced, but:

1.5 Likely will be on release branch while any major bugs in 2.5 are ironed out.

Am I the only one planning on re-watching "Band of Brothers" next month to hype up release of Normandy + Assets pack??? :)

Btw. serial numbers for Kickstarter backers are available now.

I´m wondering, if there is still an Alpha-access to the Normandy map in the planning, as there is a separate serial number for it?

I think you are right Herr Ram. I have the serial numbers too. In his last video ( the one with the bf 109 and the FW 190 in the normandy map) Wags said that something will come this week. I thought the map was here to download :cry::cry::cry::cry::cry:

Yeah I have mine. Only thing needed is the release of the map, but when should we expect this? Are we still a ways away(Late May) from a release? Are the distribution of the keys an indicator that release is only days away?

Does this mean that kickstarter backers will get earlier access to Normandy than those who pre-purchase?

That would be a well deserved bonus.

According to the livestream and Skates's post.

That would be the keys to have access. I do agree to some degree that it can be a bit misleading and the expectation is there to have the ability to download the map also, but nevertheless he did say KEYS. :)

As far as I remember keys are always distributed some weeks before release of a pre-ordered module (correct me if I´m wrong). End of May should be realistic.

But that`s why I asked for the Alpha-access. Maybe backers with the reward of Alpha-access will get the possibility to enjoy the map a few days earlier?;) I don`t think so, but one can dream.:)

That would be a well deserved bonus.

+1!

ED didn't do that with NTTR. So, no.

Besides, it would be terrible form to do so. Why do you think we (as backers) are more worthy than the folks who've paid in the pre-purchase phase? All of us have dropped the cash at this point.

It also makes more work for ED.

Nobody was promised Alpha access for NTTR.

Because it was written in the backers rewards.

Well I don't mind either way. It would be nice to know though.

We did not forget :)

 

Stand by...

Is this the part where I soil myself with excitement????:D

That sounds like a purely personal decision. ;)

Serial Numbers show on my profile too...

Wags said on the last Video they'd (Keys) be distributed this week.

Yup, its most certainly not required or recommended :)

Too late. I had to leave early from work to change my clothes due to involuntary soiling...:smilewink:

Yup, I have my keys now as well.

Now you have your keys? You've been flying over Normandy for long time... :lol::lol: :music_whistling:
