Normandy and WWII Assets pack


Recommended Posts

Hi All,

 

after long time absence from the world of Sims (last time back in 2000 with Falcon4!) I found out DCS and despite my preference to jets (due to my former occupation) I would like to take the opportunity of the free month trial and try the Spit.

 

I downloaded both the Spit and Normandy map but I'm getting an error of missing elements whenever I tried to fly an instant action mission in Normandy. It happens in both Stable and OB versions.

If I install the WWII assets pack everything work fine.

 

Is that a normal behavior or something wrong with my installation?

 

If it is a normal situation that means that in order to enjoy flying the Spit over Normandy do I have to buy 3 modules (plane, map and assets pack)?

 

Thanks

Diamond

True for plane and map. You can fly on Normandy but with no asset from wwii.

No, you can fly the spitfire over the Normandy map without owning the assets.

However, if the mission you are using was created with any of the WW2 assets, then you will also need to buy the assets yourself.

Thanks for your response, but this is what I see when I try to start an instant action in Normandy:

It is because this particular mission requires WWII Assets pack..

 

You have two ways how to solve it.

 

to buy WWII Assets pack

or

open mission in Mission Editor and delete all units from Assets pack and save it.

I suspect the free fly mission must have the assets in it. oops, ED!

 

 

 

 

 

Odd.. try opening the Normandy map int he mission editor, clean no mods.

Add a flyable spitfire.

save the mission

run the mission

 

 

If you're not sure how to do that, let me know and I will build you a test mission to try.

Yes, if I go through Mission builder I can fly the Spit without issue over Normandy!

 

So my guess is that the embedded missions in Normandy require WWII Assets Pack :(
