2.5 will be a new download and install, and NOT an update to open alpha/beta. "DCS World 2.5 will be released as a new download (NOT an update to an existing version). " Todays newsletter.

Is Epsom next in line for the effects treatment?:)

I do the P-51 first. For all I know, it might be the other way around. Feel free to test, all sounds great this way though in both A/C.

If you use the P-51 and overlap the Spit sound, giving the spit priority, both of them sound totally ace. Did not notice any problems with either.

Best Christmas gift I could hope for! Thank you Jafa!

It works well with 2.2

Jafa- God of sound: Is there any hope to see the Spitfire mod released before Xmas?

I have zero skills in anything related to scripts and wondered if anyone might give me a hand. I have made a mission for Normandy, where I have put in some ground targets, made briefings and generally populated the map. The mission is intended for use in either single player or coop. I am pleased with the result, air to ground wise, but I would like to have an option for spawning in enemy aircraft at random locations with the F10 menu (as I have seen in other missions) If anyone has the required skills and would like to help me, I can send over the miz file:) What I would like is an F10 option "Spawn enemy" aircraft that spawn 1 flight, either 109's or 190's (Random flight size between 1-4) altitude 5-15k feet, skill level between 'average' and 'high'- finger four formation- group close- CAP, at a random location, patrolling and then landing at Evreux. Pressing the option would then spawn another random flight, then another etc. maiking it possible to have several enemy flights at once. Any help would be greatly appreciated:)

Sounds good. Maybe show some footage panning around the AC in F2 view?

I too have been experiencing crashes related to ground attacks against targets defended by 30 mm flak lately. More than 3 occasions in the last week.

The Spitfire campaign was the same in the start. Thankfully Bunyap and Wags update these regularly, so you can expect improvements to both content and performance in due time.

The best mod I have tried. Agree that the guns/engine level in cockpit is a little off, other than that- terrific! Can't wait for the Spitfire!

Airfield population, including concrete runways where appropriate (Including Tangmere, Carpiquet, Evreux..) is WIP and underway. As are other graphical enhancements. I suggest going to the Offcial News section and scroll back a few newsletters for info.

It varies performance wise. For me and many others (I have a gtx 1080), there is a VERY significant performance INCREASE with 2.2, while others, presumably with older GPUs have reported a decrease.

No- there are no airfield names there.

What install path do you use? To the saved games folder or directly into the game like before? I noticed that people started changing it over, but I could not get sound mods working from the saved-games path.

The flak 88 IS visible:D It is just a tiny, placeholder explaion for now, but at least you can tell that you are taking fire. The new static- smoke that can be placed in missions now also look awesome. With it you can create a much more believable battlefied (with very low fps cost as well)

Bunyap mention that 88mm flakbrust were now implemented in 2.2, so we should "see and hear them" but I were not able to see the effect with 8 guns firing on a flight of B-17s. Have you guys seen it?

Btw- Bunyap- just mentioning it: in the mission where we can decrease object count for performance, sometimes ships dissappear, leaving the accompanying ballon flying off to great altitudes. I am sorry I don't have more specific info at this point, but something to keep in mind.

Flak bursts??? Yes!! I have a huge performance boost in 2.2 and along with these new features it is an excellent time to go back into it!

Can you point to the most recent where he said "In less than 2 months from now...". In relation to what FB post?

Not implemented yet as far as I know.

The water in Normandy 2.0 is not the same as seen here. THey have tweaked it condiserably since then. Hopefully the "New" water seen in these shots as well as in a lot of the SoH promos will come to Normandy soon.TM.
