ED Team NineLine Posted January 10, 2020 Author ED Team Share Posted January 10, 2020 Exactly and this looks fantastic. And yet both maps are including the same countries in the same setting during the same period of time, at least for France and England. The map could go all the way from the North of Bretagne (Dinard is already on the Normandy Map) to the Netherlands, including the South of England, this would be amazing ! So why the merging of both maps to create a new one wasn't an option ? Out of curiosity, is it a technical problem ? A contract issue with Ugra Media ? Both ? Or something else ? Thank you for taking the time to reply. I am looking forward to enjoy all the new improvements the developers have been working on. Well DCS is still limited to size for one thing, secondly, Normandy is a 3rd Party map, we cant just take and merge it to ours. Maybe one day, once Vulkan is here and we can break through the limit on map size, but right now this is where we are, we have to do chunks of maps. For fighter vs fighter, ginormous maps dont even really make sense, but would love to see the long range missions one day.

Harlikwin Posted January 10, 2020 Share Posted January 10, 2020 Discounts dont stack, so the Hornet Owner Discount will come after release. Will not be available during pre-order/Early Access. What exactly doe this mean? No discount for hornet owners if we decide to buy it after pre-order while its still in EA or what? And how much will the hornet discount be, will the pre-order discount be larger or the same or what? New hotness: I7 9700k 4.8ghz, 32gb ddr4, 2080ti, :joystick: TM Warthog.

And how much will the hornet discount be, will the pre-order discount be larger or the same or what? It means that discounts don't stack, so the Hornet Owner one won't take effect till after release, and what that means is Hornet Owners will probably see something close to the Preorder discount. Basically, if you are a Hornet owner, you get to have the discount longer than others. I dont have the exact numbers on the discount, but I think, as I said, it will be very close to the Pre-order discount... dont expect a 50% to 70% discount or anything like that.

Fair enough, but you guys should probably hash that out and let folks know the specifics on it before the pre-order hits IMO.

Whatever ED (or any developer for that matter) announce there will be a bunch of posts of why didn't they do something else. I for one am delighted with cross channel detailed WW2 action and am really looking forward to it. The newsletter announcement is full of exciting stuff but there will always be people who simply want to turn it into a negative point.

Harlikwin Posted January 10, 2020 Share Posted January 10, 2020 A few more questions. Upgraded Kuz is only for the Supercarrier owners or will it be in the general game? And in terms of "testing" the Dynamic campaign in 2020, is that internally or will it be in open beta? As for the Syra and Falklands maps, are those actually on plan for this year or just an update that they are being worked on? New hotness: I7 9700k 4.8ghz, 32gb ddr4, 2080ti, :joystick: TM Warthog.

Too early to really say for sure on testing of the DC. But as with everything, we will test internally, then I am sure some form or another will come to OB. As for 3rd Party projects, you need to ask those teams... I cant really speak for them, Ugra is busy with Normandy for a bit, so its expected sometime after that.

AeriaGloria Posted January 10, 2020 Share Posted January 10, 2020 (edited) So it’s confirmed for the Kuz, It’s finally getting an update, but most of the money for the full module I would pay for is going to a Nimitz I’ll never use:cry::cry::cry_2::cry_2:Not sure I can do that. Even when on a crazy sale, that is going to be ALOT(assuming a price of 80) just to get an updated Kuz with working JBD and hold backs. I’m sure I’m not the only one who doesn’t fly the US naval planes. I won’t throw a fit, but I am disappointed. I would pay a smaller sum just for the Kuz update standalone Edited January 10, 2020 by AeriaGloria Black Shark Den Squadron Member: We are open to new recruits, click here to check us out or apply to join! https://blacksharkden.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blayas Posted January 10, 2020 Share Posted January 10, 2020 Really interesting are the improvements and optimizations that will be made in the engine, as performance related issues are one of the most recurring in dcs.

Exorcet Posted January 10, 2020 Share Posted January 10, 2020 Not available in SP if you don't own it, will be visible in MP if you don't own it. By not available, do you mean not usable in anyway, or just can't be placed? One of my concerns with asset packs and similar things is sharing missions through Users Files. If I have the pack and add the ship to my mission, will the mission require users to also buy the carrier pack? In any case this was a substantial newsletter with a lot to be excited about.

But we will see once it gets closer to release. Thanks, I see, that's a bit of downside for mission sharing. I guess you could get around it by making versions of a mission for people with/without the packs, though if even more optional assets are added later on that could get complicated very quickly.

pimp Posted January 10, 2020 Share Posted January 10, 2020 Normally after an early access release, the discount for the product is no longer available. So, for the Supercarrier, Hornet owners will still get a discount after the early access release.
