I just updated to today's update 1 for DCS 2.1 and took the Bf-109 for a spin. Whereas I needed to always trim her fully nose-heavy to achieve level cruise flight, now I can leave the trim more or less neutral. Has this changed?

I have heard it so often, but just don't understand it: why do you need 45 or even 90FPS in the VR? I have both a screen and a CV1, and anything above 30 FPS appears smooth to me. I don't see any difference between a screen and VR in terms of needing twice more FPS in VR, these statements just puzzle me... That is as long as you turn this damn ASW off, with ASW it becomes unplayable once it drops below 45 FPS.

I want to join the thank you fest here. Like Yo-yo, I am also one of the lucky ones for whom the map runs nicely and without stutter. Not sure what the difference is to other users, but I am sure it'll get sorted out!

What is the difference between the DLC: Normandy and DCS: Europe 1944-45 forums? What kind of questions post where? Seem like duplicate forums to me...

Since I can't figure out where to post missions (in Normandy or Europe 1944-45 forums), let me point out that you can find user posted WWII missions here.

Sword Beach mission Mission can be played in SP or as simple PvP MP mission. Choose FW-190, Bf-109, P-51 or Spitfire slot. There are 5 slots per aircraft. The first slot of each type has 3 AI wingmen, the remaining have no AI wingmen. Enjoy! Bug reports and feedback will be appreciated. Situation: 1) Blue has launched an attempt to land tanks at sword beach. The ultimate goal is to take Caen. 2) Blue conducts B-17 air raids on a factory south of Caen. Both 1) and 2) play out in parallel, so choose your task. Red task: 1) Sink Allied landing ships. If this effort comes too late, eliminate the Allied tanks that have landed at sword beach. Local informants will mark tank locations for you if they are sighted. 2) Intercept allied bombers. Hint: the anticipated flight path of the allied bombers coincides with an Allied shipping lane across the channel. Use ships as navaids, but be careful, they are enemy vessels. Blue task: 1) Protect Allied landing ships and Allied tanks at sword beach. Eliminate Red panzers. Local informants will mark panzer locations for you if they are sighted. 2) Escort B-17 bombers. Recently improved version of the mission can be downloaded here.

The mirror in Spitfire is not working. No matter if mirror is on or off, just grey blur in the mirror!

same problem here. Many (instant action, custom mission editor, and online MP), but not all, missions lead to a crash after exiting the missions.

do I have to turn on the birds slider in the game settings to see the birds? I assume yes, but the reason I am asking is that I thought initially that that slider was for simulated bird impacts, not actual, graphically rendered birds flying around.

I updated my post (post#10 in this thread) with a much improved version. Among other things, it has now more slots for each aircraft, and a larger number of bombers.

air raid escort/interceptor mission Mission can be played in SP or as simple PvP MP mission. Choose FW-190, Bf-109, P-51 or Spitfire slot. There are 5 slots per aircraft. The first slot of each type has 3 AI wingmen, the remaining have no AI wingmen. Enjoy! Bug reports and feedback will be appreciated. Situation: Blue conducts B-17 air raids on a factory south of Caen. Red task: Intercept allied bombers. Hint: the anticipated flight path of the allied bombers coincides with a busy shipping lane across the channel. Use ships as visual navaids, but be careful, they are enemy vessels. Blue task: Escort B-17 bombers. Fliegeralarm Normandy v1-1.miz

Where do I select this WWII preset? I can't find it... Once selected, what does it do?:helpsmilie:

I use VR. Runs really nicely on my computer:thumbup:, I use the "VR preset" in the options.

If I do this it tells me it is copying many gigs of files from my current DCS 2.05 somewhere? Does this create another install, or what's happening?

please post Normandy missions here. We need good mission for 1944 Normandy:thumbup:

Have any of the alpha backers with current access to Normandy put any missions together, yet? If so, maybe you can share, would be nice to have a couple of nice missions ready for Fri's release...

great, thanks!

but backers got a separate install for Normandy, not an upgrade to v2.1 with Nevada and Normandy in a single executable, correct?

Ooh, that doesn't sound good, let's hope they will improve this. Any other VR users out there with similar or different experiences?

I hate you right now:D No seriously, keep the screenies, comments coming!

Yup, have my keys now too for Normandy and Asset pack:thumbup:

The more we ask ED to add the later the map will come out. I am more than willing to live with an incomplete asset pack if that means I can get my hands on the Normandy map sooner!

It seems to me that the joystick (I have a warthog) in the Huey does not allow you to cover the full range of cyclic deflections. What I mean is if I pull back on the joystick, then trim, and pull back again, I can get a larger backwards deflection of the cyclic in the chopper. Or another situation: I am trimmed for forward flight, and lose the engine and need to auto rotate, I can not pull the cyclic back enough to enter the flight regime for autorotation. What I have to do is pull the joystick back, then trim, then pull back some more. Is this how the real helicopter works? I would think not... is there a way to change the control settings such that the joystick gives you the full range of cyclic deflection without having to trim half-way?

How does the fall and winter version differ atm.? Is it the same?

Is this some kind of joke I don't get, or did you really figure out how to fix this, what is "60Mo"?
