Normandy is something I hope gets revisited later, the NTTR is like... Why? You don't really have trees there. But if it would improve FPS or AI logic cost somewhat, then why not, if it would even too improve the maintenance?

 

BUT... What is "speedtree" really as performance wise? If just having prettier random trees, then fine, but hopefully it has good impact to the performance too...

 

Speedtrees is probably expensive, so adding it would incur extra costs, If NTTR really doesnt need it, then I am ok with it not being added. Normandy is a 3rd Party map, so I imagine it would be up to them to swallow any extra costs. Now this is just me guessing, I really dont know. I just know that I hope we see some Hedgerows someday in Normandy (I have feature requested it), especially for WWII/CA action.

I really hope that at least in the 2-5 year period we can get a new update to maps that adds random generated foliage from rocks, bushes, small trees etc. So that flying low or targeting a ground units would be more beautiful and difficult.

But that would really require a new technologies than just draw such thing in a max 1500m distance, as ground vehicles should be blended in to terrain from further distance unless moving or casting shadow, having lights On etc.

 

But already IMHO the Normandy looks good because the alternative terrain altitude and trees.

 

It is just amazing to compare 1.2.x and 1.5.x series those things...

Both 1.5 and 2.2 are on my M.2 drive and I only have around 30gb of free space left. Which version should I remove for the update? I guess the update will copy some files from 2.2?

 

i think having both versions will speed the update process.

Yes, but if I understood him correctly, he has only a certain amount left that it not big enough to store 2.5 so he has to remove a version to even install 2.5 ;)

I'd remove 1.5 since the map has probably no reuse value for 2.5 while NTTR can probably be used for 2.5.

Just a guess, though...

Yep if you have to delete one install to update, then 1.5 will be the best candidate. The NTTR map (if installed) is huge, and Normandy is also exclusively a 2.* installation. All airframes are applicable to both versions, so that will account for the majority of reusable data.

 

Keep both if you can, but if you are stuck for space, then keep 2.2 and delete 1.5 would be my guess too.

I assume it's not possible to install 2.5 without the new Caucasus? To take advantage of both 2.2 and 1.5 with limited storage space, and deinstall 2.2 to make room for Caucasus later on?

For me 1.5 will stay for a while being an exclusive SP gamer. I want bug free missions and campaigns (haven't played Vergeev Group Ka-50 campaign yet, updated for 1.5 but I guess won't come to 2.5)

My guess; No, it's in the core of the game to include Caucasus.

I understand your concerns, I mostly play SP as well, though 3rd party Campaign creators have had the better part of january for all their 2.5 fixes, so I hope there won't be as many problems.

 

Most of the issues arisen from the 2.5 merge were placement issues with the new forests iirc.

But 1.5 will upgrade to 2.5 beta.

 

I'd delete the current 2.2 as it will not be used. Release 2.5 is a clean new install.

 

So I would delete 2.2.

Didn't know that 1.5 will become 2.5 beta. Doesn't matter, I will keep 1.5 (most likely 1.5.7, .8 is to bugy) and not update it. 2.5 release will, for what I know, copy a lot of information from 2.2 and maybe 1.5 (1.5.8 that I have now), will save data plan and download time.

if you have space keep 2.2 as 2.5 will copy from it and save a large download
