Art-J Posted May 23, 2018 Share Posted May 23, 2018 Well well well, we did get a bit of a facelift of the map in 2.5.2 after all. Corrected dirt runways & taxiways colour plus noticeably reduced microstutters are the biggest positive surprises of the day for me (nobody bothered to mention anything about Normandy in patch changelog as usual). They even might have toned down the infamous psychodelic field colours a bit, although I haven't tested all season sceneries yet, I only tried September one. Evereux still doesn't have concrete runway, but beggars can't be choosers I guess ;). Only had time for one short flight there today, but I'm looking forward to do more tomorrow. i7 9700K @ stock speed, single GTX1070, 32 gigs of RAM, TH Warthog, MFG Crosswind, Win10.

REDEYE_CVW-66 Posted May 24, 2018 Share Posted May 24, 2018 I noticed as well. At least it is something. Hope more will come in June, when Wags said that WW2 would recieve some more attention. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dimus Posted May 25, 2018 Share Posted May 25, 2018 Anything done for the terrible shimmering? My post in the bugs section has 107 views and no replies. For me this is the biggest issue, very distracting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gerbilskij Posted June 6, 2018 Share Posted June 6, 2018 Apparently the map (and WW2 assets pack) just got updated, with concrete airfields finally introduced. DCS Normandy 1944 More detailed objects and realistic airfield textures. The textures now reflect the more dusty, lighter, sandy surfaces Removal of permanent structures from ALG airfields Concrete surfaces for the airfields of Evreux, Carpiquet, and Tangmere Shallow water zones along the coastal areas New stone bridges More structures like farm houses outside the detailed areas of the map Added more objects like windmills WWII Assets pack New units added: M12 gun motor carriage M30 cargo carrier M2A1/M3 halftrack StuG IV SdKfz 234/2 "Puma" SdKfz 234 7 artillery tractor SdKfz 234 7 251 SdKfz 234 2 Kettenkrad Horch staff car New barrage balloons LCVP Higgins boats UK soldier Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

REDEYE_CVW-66 Posted June 6, 2018 Share Posted June 6, 2018 The update is solid and the map looks and runs (relatively) great however "Removal of permanent structures from ALG airfields" is not done. Huge fuel tanks and stone buildings still all over the place. Still, it is a great improvement and a big step in the right direction. Well done team.

Art-J Posted June 6, 2018 Share Posted June 6, 2018 (edited) Look like the silly stones scattered all over the airbases are gone at last. So is most of the grass, unfortunately, but if that's the price to pay for keeping the acceptable performance, so be it! Now If only they could implement the speedtree tech over here in the near future, as the microstutter caused by old trees during low level fast strafing runs is still a bit extreme. It sticks out like a sore thumb after experiencing superior tree rendering on Caucasus.

IronJockel Posted June 7, 2018 Share Posted June 7, 2018 Had a chance to test it yesterday. All and all a step into the right direction. Looks better and performs better. Good work. Still quite not as good as Caucasus. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xxx Posted June 13, 2018 Share Posted June 13, 2018 Yes, most updates are pushed to Open Beta first. Thanks. I just read about the "update" to the Normandy map. Looking forward to the "D-Day" additions. I wish ED would say that its "beta" only in their advertisement's. It would save me having to search on the forums for this information! When the beta 2.5.2 gets into my 2.5 "stable", I will be like a kid with a new toy....F/A18 (working with the release bugs sorted out). Normandy D-Day map etc etc... If its ready for Christmas?

Ala13_ManOWar Posted June 24, 2018 Share Posted June 24, 2018 At least last night I couldn't find any online servers covering Normandy.Stable or OB? I changed my main installation from stable to OB in order to fly the Hornet and have a go to PG and was surprised to find many more servers in MP with the OB than stable, which I can't blame them for. Don't know about last night, but there were even many WWII servers last time I checked which again (positively) surprised me really. Anyway, we know WWII isn't the main strength of DCS with regards to gameplay and number of users. S! "I went into the British Army believing that if you want peace you must prepare for war.

Boris Posted June 24, 2018 Share Posted June 24, 2018 ACG and BURNING SKIES are usually up and running, but hardly any players in them. I don't really understand why. WW2 servers used to be quite popular back when we only had the Caucasus map. We now have more WW2 content than ever, but no one flying.
