    Re: DCS: Normandy WW2

    A interesting detail about Normandy. From April, 8 DCS: W Newsletter.

    Development of the specially created "DCS: Normandy 1944" map for DCS World War II continues its development at a fast pace. Currently, the main effort is focused on airfields with different types of surfaces (a first for DCS World). For example: we are implementing SMT (Square Mesh Tracks) surfaces, which were widely used by the Allies for temporary airfields in Normandy following the landings. We are also developing the possibility to place airfields on the map using the Mission Editor (another first for DCS World).

    What are the chances we'll be getting a BoB scenario a few years down the line? Even if the map extends up to southern outskirts of london it would be viable. And with all the 3rd party devs supplying airplanes...

    Racoon (Normandy WW2 team) search info about base radio communications from allied and Germans, with procedures, pyrotechnics, lights, brevity code and more to build realistic aerial base operations on WW2.

    Re: DCS: Normandy WW2

    Racoon, from WW2 Normandy team, confirm ED has plans on improve trains on WW2 scenery. Add trains as objets on the editor and logistic system on a future

    http://forums.eagle.ru/showpost.php?...&postcount=433
    I do understand importance of a trains for WWII scenarios. We have all major railroads in the Normandy map now. Big problem is that trains in DCS aren't objects for mission makers. So we should create this feature for sure.

    http://forums.eagle.ru/showpost.php?...&postcount=437
    There are two features actually:
    - train as a object for missions;
    - train as a transportation unit for warehouse-airfield supply system.
    It takes time to make any of them.
    Not bad if ED can improve a truck logistic system to improve WW2 and others war sceneries.

    To be totally honest, that looks incredible!


    The 4 fuel storage tanks in the fisrt pic look very blown out though, just being super critical.

    Re: DCS: Normandy WW2

    Exciting! But is it me, or do those airfields seem to stand out as rather too bold. Real life airfields tend to start blending in with the surroundings once you get a little distance from them. I suppose an airfield that had only just been completed would stand out as more of a fresh scar on the landscape though.
    Not sure if these airfields are long established or just constructed.

    Happy landings,

    Talisman

    I got a i7 2,8 ghz 18 mb Ram and a gtx 680 with 1090 x something resolution. I fly in 2.0 Beta with no problems with pretty good settings, in 1,5 I have stutter if it is too dense with the same settings.
    I feel it run well consider my old rig.

    You've got a little more ram than I but that's about the same system I have. I can update it now problem though. Thanks LuseKofte

    Shame about the P-47. That was the main reason I invested in the Kickstarter

    Nice pic and thanks for the update.

    It's a little more than that, unfortunately, due to the fact that all of Republic aircraft's papers were pretty much destroyed when the company was sold. There's simply hardly any real information available to make the kind of FM that is possible with the Spitfire, for example, which has LOADS of those old test documents around.


    EDIT: Looks like some users on the boards have given the developers some promising leads for info, so that's encouraging!

    I have been following the developments at a distance. If I may ask, why would this data be so elusive seeing as though there are P-47's still flying today.
    Are the Republic's company docs completely mia?

    It's common for Axis aircraft to have a lack of 'acceptable' info, but on the allied side the documentary stuff was largely preserved.
