The update pays special attention to the islands, each of which has its own airfield, ready for use in missions: Alderney Island is the northernmost of the Channel Islands. Guernsey Island is an important strategic point. Like Jersey, the island became part of the Atlantic Wall. Jersey Island is the largest of the Channel Islands, with an area of 116 km2. From July 1, 1940 to May 9, 1945, the island was occupied by Germany. The islands' challenging weather conditions and interesting locations can add variety to your missions. These additions not only visually enrich the game world but also provide a wealth of new flight opportunities and interesting missions—whether taking off from the limited runways of island airfields or operations around iconic fortifications steeped in history.

Alright, let's roll! As requested today, England. The DCS: Normandy 2.0 update will add new original objects and islands with airfields. Today we'll show you key objects of England and the islands, which have received significant detail. Each of these objects not only decorates the map but also serves as an important tactical and navigational landmark. Dover Castle is one of the most famous and largest castles in England. It has long been considered the "Key to England." Citadel Western Heights is a powerful fortification in Dover. The Citadel contained barracks, stores, and magazines arrayed around a large parade ground. It later housed a prison. Western Heights of Dover is a complex of defensive fortifications with a rich history. Royal Hospital Haslar is a historic naval hospital in Gosport. During World War II, the hospital established the country's first blood bank, treated casualties from the Normandy landings, and deployed clinicians to field hospitals in Europe and the Far East. It was also a key medical supplies center for the fleet. St. James Hospital is another important infrastructure facility and is popularly known as Jimmy's. HMP Winchester is a prison in Winchester. Its shape makes it easily recognizable from above.

Hi Is there any chance of creating a pre-invasion version of the map, without ALG? We've been answering this question for a while now: airfields are built into the map, and there's no tool for creating different versions. As soon as the engine adds this capability, we'll be able to make them switchable. @REDEYE_CVW-66 We're constantly improving airfields: in each update, we make subtle adjustments to avoid disrupting existing missions. You'll notice them gradually changing, just like in real life. In this update, we've fixed and improved the logic of some old airfields and added some new ones. And this is just the beginning: we have a lot of work planned for airfields ( @Fred901 provided a lot of useful material, and there is a lot of work to be done on it). So enjoy your flights—familiar places might even surprise you over time!

In this update, you will find carefully designed historical objects that will make every flight even more alive and immersive. Each object from majestic cathedrals to fortifications was modeled with reference to its real historical appearance to make your flights over France truly unique. This is history coming to life under the wing of your aircraft. Explore, plan operations and enjoy incredible detail! Architectural gems of Normandy and beyond: Abbaye de Jumieges - majestic ruins towering above the trees. Amiens Cathedral - A masterpiece of Gothic architecture, visible for many kilometers. Bayeux Cathedral - An architectural monument of the 11th-15th centuries, combining features of the Romanesque style and Norman Gothic. Bertangles Chateau - An exquisite French castle. A good place for a walk. Calais and Rouen landmarks: Calais Lighthouse — a 53-metre (178 ft) lighthouse on the coast. Calais Town Hall — a 72-metre (236 ft) bell tower Grand Theater de Calais — a magnificent Italian-style theater. At the time of its opening, it was the third largest in France and one of the few theaters with iron stage mechanics. Notre Dame Catholic Church at Calais — The church is large and has a fortress-like appearance. Arguably, it is the only church built in the English perpendicular style in all of France. Tour du Guet — is a 13th-century watchtower in Calais NotreDame de Rouen — A recognizable silhouette immortalized by Claude Monet. Rouen Prison - Historical prison of Rouen Evreux Cathedral - The cathedral is one of the most outstanding buildings in Evreux. The cathedral is a national monument

Hi, fighters! We have been steadily developing the Normandy 2 map for two years, and now it is time to announce a new major update - with a lot of new additions and improvements! We are proud to present a major update for DCS: Normandy 2, which will immerse you not only in the epicentre of great battles, but also in the rich historical heritage of Europe. Get ready for new tactical possibilities and incredible depth of visual embodiment! NEW SEASON: WINTER For the first time for the Normandy map! War knows no breaks, and now you will have to fight in harsh winter conditions. Snow-covered fields and airfields will create a completely new experience of piloting and navigation. Now you will be in conditions where you need to watch out for the enemy and for icing. Greenery is now hidden under a blanket of snow. A new atmosphere, new conditions for missions, it will be available soon. The Big Smoke and the "City of Light" under the snow Winter France Winter England

Hi We are currently actively working on Cold War Germany phase 2 and decided to find out your wishes in order to find original objects/locations that we can additionally include in the list and without which it is impossible to release phase 2. Your wishes for phase 1 were very valuable, hints from local residents, guys who served in the service were very informative. Based on them, we adjusted the list: airfields, hangar types and much more were added. The goal of this topic: to find objects that are most important for the map: they played a significant role in the Cold War, it can be a landmark for navigation (antennas, towers, etc.), quarries without which the territory does not look like itself, a warehouse or a base. Or maybe some landmark without which the city loses its appearance? The idea with the city of Mannheim and “Kalimandscharo” seemed interesting to us. If you previously wrote wishes, you can duplicate the link to the topic. Let me remind you that we are looking at the entire Wishlist section, and in this topic we want to collect what you think is necessary to release Phase 2, and based on the responses and likes we will determine what to do first.

Hi! We made helipads to give helicopter pilots the opportunity to feel not as guests on the map, but as if they were at home. This feature is not provided by the engine, so there are a lot of helipad icons on the map. We can convert helipads into regular places without parking places and add H icons on the map. What we see as a disadvantage: in the mission editor you will not be able to use "takeoff from parking hot" and "takeoff from ramp". You will only be able to use "takeoff from ground" What do you think about this?

We will check. If it is not fixed in this patch, yes, please write.

Hi fighters HotFix has been delayed, but it will be on your computers soon. We have received amazing feedback from you. We have tried to fix everything we saw and even more. If you created a topic in the bugs section and your problem was solved - write about it, because we read it. Check the ILS, RSBN for interference - everything should work. So let's look at the list: - RAM and video memory usage has been reduced - optimized traffic: the amount of harvester traffic is reduced, vehicle traffic is shifted to cities and airfields - fixed normals on road intersection textures - corrected errors in frequencies and beacon locations: Briest RSBN is set to terrain, added Mendig NDB 331.0 NMN, Tempelhof VOR/DME changed to VORTAC, added Kirn VORTAC 117.5 KIR ch 122, added Solling NDB 374.5 SOG - corrected errors in taxiways of the following airfields: Allstedt, Bitburg, Bremen, Hahn, Hannover, Merseburg, Neubrandenburg, Neuruppin, Peenemunde, Pferdsfeld, Ramstein, Schonefeld, Schweinfurt, Sembach, Spangdahlem, Stendal, Tegel, Tempelhof, Tutow. - Ramstein taxiway signage corrected - removed trees on helipads: H_GDR_34, H_FRG_46, H_FRG_51 - color correction of airfield ground textures: Bitburg, Buckeburg, Frankfurt, Finow, Giebelstadt, Gutersloh, Holzdorf, Ramstein, Sembach, Spangdahlem, Werneuchen - fixed bugs in models - disabled unused models and textures - increased height of tank bridge on ranges - added straight electric wires on poles along streetcar and railroad tracks - added marine passenger ship in the scenes of ports and traffic - corrected incorrect display of icons and names on the map - added markings of air defense points, radars and hospitals on the map - improved image quality for the main menu

Hi We had a hotfix ready for the next day after release on navigation aids, but its release is delayed. Also in DCS World the algorithm of RSBN operation has changed, we initially had channels assigned, but then we reworked them by analogy with Kavkaz: the beacon needs to specify the frequency 8XX, where XX is the RSBN channel. Now again there is work to clarify the operation of RSBN.

Hi Write how it will work after the update, because I see that it is assigned as you ask: in Schönefeld 1#25L and 2#25R in Tempelhof: 1#09R and 2#09L I indicated the main courses and numbers for these runways. 1# and 2# are the runway numbers. So in Schönefeld the first runway is 25L/07R with the main course 25L

Hi Try testing again. I see two runways in Headcorn: 1: 18-36 2: 09-27 The main directions for these runways are "18" and "09". It is unclear why the controller gives such a direction in calm weather. But everything is correct with the wind: With a wind of 286, the controller will give runway 09. On takeoff/landing, the wind should be headwind Please write the test results.

@MBot Thanks for the info, the shelters will be stronger.

A different type of shelter was installed on the western part of the airfield. This has now been fixed. Soon you will be able to start flying the A-10 in a shelter without getting wet in the rain. Developer's night screenshot: In the meantime, your squadron is being transferred to Sembach.

DCS: Cold War Germany is now available! YES! The line between peace and war is erased. Now your sky, your rules. DCS: COLDWaR is not just a map, but a living, breathing world of the era when the whole world was on the brink. Now it is a home for your flights. We tried to show everything in a month, but you still have something to see. We read your comments and saw those who wrote that they wanted Germany during the Cold War period as their next project, when no one knew about it yet. And we were happy, because we knew that this dream would come true. THANK YOU for watching, prompting and dreaming with us. Now we will enjoy and develop this map together. This project is for you!
