The DCS: Normandy 1944 Map and DCS: World War II Assets Pack will be available for download by late April 2017.

 

More details coming this weekend in the Newsletter!

 

The DCS: Normandy 1944 Map is centred on the World War II battlefield of Normandy, France and is specifically created to depict the period after the D-Day landings and the establishment of several allied airfields in Normandy to support the beachhead breakout in late June 1944. The map measures 267 x 348 kilometres and includes airfields in both Normandy and southern England. The map includes the famous D-Day landing beaches and the “Atlantic Wall”, rolling bocage fields of Normandy, large cities like Caen and Rouen, ports of Cherbourg and Le Havre, and 30 airfields. The map also includes multiple seasons and more detail and accuracy than any previous DCS World map by utilizing new map technologies.

 

A vital aspect of creating an authentic World War II battlefield is to populate it with matching artificial intelligence (AI) World War II assets. The DCS: World War II Assets Pack provides numerous World War II air, land and sea assets to populate the Normandy and other DCS World maps with. Eagle Dynamics has spent the last three year creating an entirely new set of combat vehicles to support DCS: World War II, and each unit is created with an exceptional level of detail and accuracy.

Comunque , a prescindere che la qualità della mappa è eccellente, alcuni utenti si sono accorti di una "dimenticanza" piuttosto significativa.

 

In breve , la Normandia è caratterizzata dal cosiddetto Bocage, una sorta di intrico molto fitto di siepi e alberi che delimitava (e delimita) ogni appezzamento e all'epoca creava problemi notevoli anche al movimento dei carri , in Normandy 1944 invece questa caratteristica appare implementata in maniera approssimativa e le rive dei fiumi ,i bordi delle strade ,appezzamenti ,ecc... appaiono parecchio spogli rispetto a come dovrebbe essere.

 

I've notcied in the map live-streams that the Bocage seems to be missing from the Normandy Map.

 

There is also some discussion on Reddit about this, although the term being used there is "hedges", which is a little misleading.

 

Firstly, "Bocage" is not the same as "hedges" or "hedgerows".

A hedgerow is just a row hedge... tanks can bust through hedgerows.

A lot of people confuse "Bocage" with the famous English "hedgerows".

They are not the same thing. They perform different fuctions, are constructed differently and look different.

 

The Bocage is different, largely due to the presence of the steep 1 to 1.5 m high bank which is used to demark the field / property boundaries. Getting a vehicle accross the Bocage is a tricky business, much more of an obstacle than a "hedge".

DCS: Normandy 1944 Map Alpha to Kickstarter High-Level Backers

 

Honoring our commitment to the DCS: World War II Kickstarter backers that contributed $140.00 or more, we are happy to provide these backers an Alpha look at the DCS: Normandy 1944 Map! The Alpha is a fully, separate build that will function only until the Normandy Map is available for download as an Early Access to all. Once the Early Access version is released, backers will be provided new keys, and the map will be integrated into DCS World 2.1.

 

As an Alpha release, please understand that the map is still under construction and performance optimization is on-going. We do though look forward to your feedback to make the map the best it can be.

 

To gain access, please first generate a key from within WWII Backer Rewards section of our website. The build is available by link “Download web installer” on the same page. Then, use this key when prompted the first time you play the Normandy map. You should then be happily flying over the skies of Normandy!

 

We sincerely hope you enjoy this early look at the Normandy map.

For everyone else, we are still on track to release the Normandy map to as an Early Access module by late-May 2017.
