I just saw discussion is allowed here. But lets keep it short. No its not finished yet. I planed to keep it as a transparent file, that anybody can open up his favourite skins with photoshop and overlay it with dirt and rust. And yes, there maybe is a bit too much rust. Still finetuning. It maybe shouldnt look like that you will need a tetanus vaccination after a flight ;) If the interest exists, I think I will start an own thread for that to keep it clean here.

Did you ever think that the WW2 planes look too clean and not weathered enough? I am working on a transparent rust and dirt skin which can overlay any Bf-109 livery to make it look like this:

No exact date. Its 1944 nominal after D-Day but this map has also 3 seasons. So its a bit more flexible.

Just some experiments with lakes and ponds on starways textures. But its only cool on flat ground, because you can find the same texture on the mountains. A lake on a slope looks weird.

Which means both keys have the same order-ID and the guy, who wants to give away both, has to contact the support twice?

Hi guys. I have a question about the gifting system too but didnt want to start up a new thread for a maybe very banal question. And it fits to the thread name so I hope its ok. Every year my family is racking the brain about a present for my birthday. This time I thought the normany map bundle would be a nice hint for them. What needs to be considered if someone wants to transmit a entire bundle to someone as a gift? Has the bundle two keys which need to be transmitted seperatly or is it a single key which needs just a single transmission? And I already know that the gifting system works via the support team. Thanks

From Wags' live stream. Found this point of view very impressive

Yes it is. It will happen at Wags youtube channel. The channel is named after his full name Matt Wagner. Release is end of may.

I would love to see a Ta152 H or C. Its the most beautyful plane of WW2 that I know. Fw190G8 sounds also interesting for sure but I would prefer the Ta152 in any version. Maybe its a bit exotic. Many people are already grumpy about rare german planes but very common allied planes.

I can only list it out of my mind so it can be wrong. I never noted it somewhere, where exactly I took each file from. Barthek: -noise1 for spring, summer and autumn from version 5 or 6 -trees from version 5 -mountains from version 4 Starway -town, city, factory and runways Mustang: -roads -maybe riversides and coasts -"SmallShit_Grass" By me: -the very most fields and grass (not "SmallShit_Grass") -noise1 for winter with distantly related base from a very old mod by BЗOP I think the rest are adjusted vanilla files. But if you think you just can replace some files and everything will fit, you will be disappointed. All files need to be adjusted to make them match. Another thing is, that I dont think additional work for a 1.5.x texture mod is worth the time. Hopefully in a not so distant future DCS2.5 will be released and will make all present texture mods obsolete and if ED will have done a good job, what I think indeed, such mods wont be necessary any more. So you maybe better spent your time in a cockpit instead in photoshop :)

Dora, Dora, Dora :)

:D Its german. Sometimes languages mix up. KI means AI.

Of course there will be campaigns. Sooner or later there will be campaigns for any map and any plane in DCS but for sure not for any combination of map and plane. It will take a while after the arrival of the map but I assume the first campaign will be released later this year.

I just found this post in normandy screenshot thread. https://forums.eagle.ru/showpost.php?p=3075403&postcount=22 Why do these two screenshots look so different? Any ideas? It seems to be a different season but this does not explain the different lighting model.

The release of DCS1.5 was delayed for about 9 months so I guess its probable, that 2.5 will be released in autumn.

Steam ist meines Wissens nach nicht im Stande die Module zu verarbeiten, die noch im beta-Status sind. Korrigiert mich, wenn ich falsch liege aber ich glaube du musst warten, bis die beta-Phasen überstanden wurden oder aber du ziehst deine Module alle auf die ED-Seite und nutzt dann kein Steam mehr. Letzteres scheint mir sinnvoll zu sein. Sehe keinen Vorteil durch Steam.

New stuff. https://forums.eagle.ru/showpost.php?p=3074996&postcount=21 I think now its undeniable that normandy prepurchase starts today. And remember: get the bundle! BTW and I hope this will not violate any rules here but as I understood, only the bundle will be available for prepurchase. So 48 bucks now for bundle or 45 bucks for the map later. No hard decision.

Incoming!

Yes thats my basic problem with other texture packs too. They have simply awesome details that its even possible to mask the low object quality of the T3 vanilla caucasus map. Almost unbelievable that this is possible, if you see the vanilla textures and the outdated map format. But somehow the color and brightness fine tuning dont work if you compare it with aerial photos. I wished the big modders Mustang, Starway and Barthek would work together to find golden mean, somewhere between them.

Er hat nicht gesagt dass man die Karte für die KI-Einheiten kaufen muss sondern einen seperaten DLC. Und ohne diesen steht man tatsächlich etwas nackt da. Hier: https://forums.eagle.ru/showpost.php?p=3072987&postcount=1356

Kennst du das hier noch net? https://www.facebook.com/eagle.dynamics/videos/10158413498320341/

He meant fracturing the community between caucasus and NTTR.

Das ist mehr als deutlich. Gestern abend ging es schon im englischen Normandy-Forum drunter und drüber mitsamt einer Hand voll zeitweiliger Verbannungen.

Thanks. Somehow its fun to see some people are still interested in this :)
