Normandy Map Discussion

cant download it after updating to 2.1, module manager does not give me option to download. even though i pre-ordered.

@Kev2go, open a Command Prompt in Windows, go to the DCS OpenAlpha\bin directory and type the following: dcs_updater install NORMANDY_terrain

already tried that on my own troubleshooting. keep getting this

"not recognized as an internal or external command" when attempting to get the nessary path to force the normandy updator.

windows 10 does not let you change the environment variables nessary to make this happen or anything without any Registry tweaking. Its a known issue thats not been fixed by microsoft. Guess im SOL till this is fixed on ED end that will automatically prompt a download in the module manager ( dont want to mess with registry)

I like the look and feel of the new map, despite some issues to work out overall enjoying it.

Would you please specify your GPU, CPU, resolution and the FPS?

And of course, the graphic settings.

Thank you

You should be able to run that command on a shortcut.

Kev2go, you should not need to do anything with the Windows environment variables.

I have my DCS install on my D drive. So, for example, I would open a Command Prompt and type:

d:
cd DCS World 2 OpenAlpha
cd bin
dcs_updater install NORMANDY_terrain

If you have already tried this, my apologies. I did not have to set up my OS any differently.

The commands work just fine in Win 10.

Kev2go, try putting " .\ " at the beginning of the command prompt. Worked for me in windows 10 and should look like this:

.\DCS_updater.exe install NORMANDY_terrain WWII-ARMOUR

This worked right away and is a 6.4 GB file. If you already tried that, then my bad, just checking all the different angles. I was getting the same error you did until I realized I needed to put the " .\ " in front of the command prompt.

Yea the environmental settings definitely don' want to change for some reason. anywho figured it out. Problem was with my Default path, being in within the same drive C but in USers " User profile name", so I Changed directory just to default C with CD/ command.

From there on in imputing the directory path manually 1 by 1 compared to my earlier attempt which was trying to shortcut it by copying entire path address.

prompts inputted to get it right for me:

"C:\>cd C:\Program Files

C:\Program Files>cd C:\Program Files\Eagle Dynamics

C:\Program Files\Eagle Dynamics>cd C:\Program Files\Eagle Dynamics\DCS World 2 OpenAlpha

C:\Program Files\Eagle Dynamics\DCS World 2 OpenAlpha>cd C:\Program Files\Eagle Dynamics\DCS World 2 OpenAlpha\bin

C:\Program Files\Eagle Dynamics\DCS World 2 OpenAlpha\bin>dcs_updater install NORMANDY_terrain"

If i didnt write the Whole thing it would not recognize it ( at least for me)

any case thanks for being good sports and trying to help me out.

+1 Try this.

Everything looks/works fantastic, except for the flickering grass from cockpit view... grass doesn't flicker from external views for some reason.

I love it, thanks ED.

Does anyone know if german voice is beeing added?

So odd in the FW190 with english radio :)

Just for fun:D had to try CA even though it was not supposed to be implimeanted yet an obviously not all features are but some are an b4 I took this veideo I was able to steer drive aim an shoot so hopefully not to far in the future we wil see it fully implimeanted. Well so much for video til I can upload it too youtube. but it works an looks to be a lot of fun using WW2 assets in Normandy :D

Thank you, looks really good and runs well.

Agree!

Water

Depth of view when flying over water is really screwed, no feel for your altitude or how close you are to the water when flying low over water. TC

Normandy Loading Time

Anyone having a problem getting Normandy to load? I have both Normandy and the Assets package loaded and active. I go into Instant Action and select the Spitfire Takeoff mission and on the loading screen it gets about 4/5 of the way loading and does not go farther even after 5 minutes.

I've done a repair a couple of times but that doesn't help. Also if I go into Mission Editor and select New Mission, then select Normandy, the screen goes dimmer and I can't select any countries or even get out of the page?????

Update: I changed the mission to free flight and the mission loaded after three-four minutes. I then went back to Takeoff and it loaded, but faster. So I guess ignore the forst part of this post. However, is the mission editor working for normandy?

I'm running on:

Alienware Aurora i7-6700

Windows 10

16 GB RAM

Nvidia GeForce 1070 w/8GB RAM GDDR5

Do you have any wind in the mission so that there is some chop to the water?

I was surprised too to see the water had no depth/movement at all when I got all working finally. So unless you set high wind the ocean is basically at a 'glass' setting by default it appears.

Would be nice if ED made a change to make it have some minimum movement by default, so that it was not like a solid plane surface by default as it is now currently or rely on the user to set it up. I flew a couple quick missions and the mission creators appeared to leave it at wind 0 instead changing it so mission creators need to consider this as well it appears.
