Oyster_KAI Posted December 18, 2019 Posted December 18, 2019 (edited) Yeah, I've tried the new DCS Normandy map, good performance and better textures........but It reminds me of incomplete Rheinland map (bobp)? Edited December 18, 2019 by Oyster_KAI
CanadaOne Posted December 18, 2019 Posted December 18, 2019 If anyone has any pics of the new textures I'd love to see them. I'm guessing there will be a Christmas sale and if it looks decent I'm getting it. I'm a slut for new maps.
Oyster_KAI Posted December 18, 2019 Posted December 18, 2019 The 3D crater and 3D ditch trench are impressive!! 1
Blooddawn1942 Posted December 19, 2019 Posted December 19, 2019 I've always been disappointed with the map and had my struggle with it. But now this is a whole different thing. Just cruised around for 20 Minutes in the Spitfire and KA-50 and I must admit that I'm impressed. But nevertheless it's really bad that we had to wait for years that they finally got the map in the shape it should have had from the very beginning. Doesn't matter now. Finally I can enjoy flying the DCS Warbirds in a more or less suitable environment. Btw... What happened to the DCS thread???

If you don't have the Normandy map yet this sure is a very good time ! IMHO the enhanced DCS Normandy map is now great and I hope BoN will come through on everything too.

ZachariasX Posted December 19, 2019 Posted December 19, 2019 (edited) Directly comparing a simulator plane probably broke some rules, hence the hidden threads. Edited December 19, 2019 by ZachariasX

It looked bad and ran worse. But if the update is good I'll grab it at the next sale. I'm not paying $77 for the map and the WWII Assets. Half that, yes.

The new update is 15GB.
simfan2015 Posted December 19, 2019 Posted December 19, 2019 The DCS map now also features speedtree tech like the Caucasus map ... help a lot regarding performance. Now I am really anticipating the BoN map even more ... DCS vs CLoD vs IL-2 BoN map areas will be interesting !

dburne Posted December 19, 2019 Posted December 19, 2019 Yeah I will have to revisit the Normandy map, been a while.

Turns out Steam is having a winter sale today, so I bought the DCS map and WWII assets. The map looks better than before, some of it is pretty nice and some is boring as cardboard. The B-17 is really nice, flew formation with it for a while and it was good fun and good eye candy. I'm sorry the other thread was summarily executed. I appreciate the help you offered in there.

LLv34_Flanker Posted December 20, 2019 Posted December 20, 2019 S! I fly both sims for their own merit. Both offer something called entertainment. Both have different approach. Forum warrioring goes on in both ? 1
Blooddawn1942 Posted December 20, 2019 Posted December 20, 2019 Anyone who is seriously into flightsimming is into both sims anyway these days. I'm super happy to have both and I support both. In regards to the associated forums, this one here is what makes the difference for me compared to this toxic and hostile and unfriendly ED Forum which I only use to keep myself up to date but never ever post there because.... You know. I appreciate it, that we are allowed to discuss DCS here on this forum and I never witnessed any aggressive advertising or "dcs is so much better then il-2" stuff. So it's sad that this friendly environment lost something with the closure of the DCS Thread. Just my thoughts. 2

1_Robert_ Posted December 20, 2019 Posted December 20, 2019 I thought we’d be the first to this theatre but it appears another competitor may get there ahead. Man I want the Battle series to get there someway and somehow. I realize it’s a challenge but if they can do it then maybe we.... 1
Stoopy Posted December 20, 2019 Posted December 20, 2019 (edited) Details please? I'm of the mind that it's not a competition... just more options. That being said, I'm sure many others here would enjoy hearing more about this. As it currently stands, it's not exactly "another" Pacific theater being done, since that implies one is actually being done or planned for this series, which last we heard it isn't. Other than a lingering yet vague desire, which ain't a plan. Edited December 20, 2019 by =[TIA]=Stoopy
LuftManu Posted December 20, 2019 Posted December 20, 2019 And? it doesn't matter who goes first but who makes it better. I am sure we will enjoy it when the time comes 2
Gambit21 Posted December 20, 2019 Posted December 20, 2019 It will be done well when these guys get to it - the end. 2 4 1

Jade_Monkey Posted December 21, 2019 Posted December 21, 2019 I'm so lost. Is this about that F86 Yalu River campaign?
DD_fruitbat Posted December 21, 2019 Posted December 21, 2019 Im guessing its the corsair, zero and Essex class carrier announced for the sim that can't be named anymore here, that may start with a D and end with the letter before T.
