VIVID NORMANDY 2.0 by Barthek


Recommended Posts

Because of the recent GTM: Normandy Textures I started "rediscovering" the Warbirds.  So thanks again!

Hello Barthek, me again 🙂
Was wondering if you are able to retexture the grass fields.  Specifically the roughmets, I suppose.  For some reason the runway and taxiways don't match the surrounding grass at all, it's extremely shiny and bounces light like it's green ice

Hi Barthek.

 

Would you consider making a Low Terrain Textures version of this mod?

 

I need to fly with Low Terrain Textures to be able to use Syria with my limited computer ( aged and 16G Slow DDR3 RAM ) but this wonderful mod only works withe the High Textures Terrain option.

 

I understand if this is a lot of work only for a limited audience but if you dont mind asking me for that.

 

Thanks.

I wonder if UGRA would integrate these textures into the map as a default.  They're just so good

How is it possible that with so little you have done something so wonderful!!!! You improved the map of Normandy so much that it became my favorite. Thank you very very much. You are a genious. Please do the same with the Channel map. This was my favorite map until your magic hands touched the map of Normandy.

Sadly, I don't own the Channel map. And I am currently working on the Caucasus makeover. Thank you for your positive comments, guys! 🙂

If you are a VR user I wouldn’t bother. Others may have different views, for me it’s unplayable.

Is this mod compatible with the new normandy map update? I don't want to install the latest update for fear that your mod won't work.

 

Yep, it's all working fine.

Even after the appreciated Normandy Map updates in DCS 2.7.4.9632 Open Beta - 21.07.2021   I appreciate the Barthek mod more.

On a positive Note Urga Media could quickly adopt Bartheks GTM: Normandy and have much less work in creating a Normandy FALL map!

  • GMT Normandy - Like Late Fall - Everything is a little darker

The darker shades is only part of it. The Barthek version breaks up the agricultural fields much more with different types and shades, and creates a more believable 'european palette' and texture. His first Channel repaint 'vivid Channel' goes a long way towards doing the same for that map. For some reason, the map creators have an idea that western Europe is predominantly a light green palette broken by the occasional wheat field, when it is indeed looks more like a 'chess board' of various crops and random field shapes. It does not take long to prove this point. Watch some youtube vids (both historical combat footage and modern- including google earth) and it is easy to see. For some reason few people seem to care about this, but for me map repaints is the only way.

Just tried this out and it's almost painful (knowing they won't pass IC) how much more authentic the textures look with the mod.

I really hope someone considers rolling this work into an official update.

exactly, You cannot "unseen" the comparison screens now...
