a little teaser on the ED discord 'dcs-wwii-chat channel indicates that the Normandy map will receive an update to expand and include London and Paris

Or perhaps, they will completely overlap in space but  not in time.  ED has indicated a desire to see the Battle of Britain in the future.   Maybe the Channel Map will evolve to cover the time period

So basically the entire area of the channel map will be covered by the expanded normandy map, rendering the channel map even more pointless than it already was before. Or am I missing something here?

Yes, well ... that is very interesting direction in which it moves, this pricing policy. First we had LockOn the simulation with 8 flyable aircraft, everything else has been a part of this simulation. Then came DCS, FC3 & CA - perfect. DCS free, FC3, modules and CA - pay. Now when came Normandy we have asset pack.

If this continues we will soon be forced to buy individual tanks, missile systems, ships, and why should not then and airports, missiles, bombs...

And everything will be justified with if you want to - buy, If you don't - don't buy, and of course the possibility of choice. When I think how much money I gave :cry: and we still do not have a stable simulation, works only on two cores, eternal struggle with the FPS, stuttering and freezing. MP is constantly in trouble, dedicated server out of sight etc. Somewhere must be stopped. It seems that for all of us decision time - how to proceed.

 

Stop, this is simply Not true. If you cant comment respectfully on this, then dont at all.

Lots of AI units coming, is there a chance some of these will become flyable (109G/ 190A for example)

DCS 2 Open alpha early access is what you need, once normandy is out you download it in the module manager, if you dont have NTTR you will not need to have it also

 

 

DCS World 2.0 Early Access

 

"DCS World 2 requires DCS: Nevada Test and Training Range (NTTR) terrain module"

 

Are the operative words, here "terrain module", since Normandy will have its own terrain module?

 

Thanks,

2.0 or whatever number it will be when Normandy drops, will require either NTTR or Normandy, or you can have both.

Actually your require a Theatre to use the mission editor and fly with 2.0.X, but the only available yet has NTTR. When Normandy coming to beta, you can install NTTR, Normandy or both on future 2.1 version

I am sure they will change the wording once Normandy is released.

 

At the moment you need NTTR to use DCS 2.0 this will obviously change once Normandy is released

 

and yes, terrain module, plug and play through the module manager :)

Eh, so what's this? The map is going to be sold separately from the AI units? Where is the official link for this? I read the weekly news but haven't seen any mention of it.

2.1? what's that? Not 2.5 or 2.0?

-notice the pattern in the chronological list of releases you put there.

An increasing of Fidelity. Smaller details cost separately when those are higher fidelity. (Think new carriers)

 

-while I'm not happy about how long 2.5 seems to keep getting put off, many of the problems you listed are planned to be fixed or at least improved with 2.5.... which Is a free upgrade.

Using the 40 mm Bofors in the upcoming Viggen DC is on the table.

 

If you put WWII era flak into a campaign, which can't take place before the 70's, it's nobodies fault but your own.

Who are you to say that... I don't have any WWII pack. And i'm waiting for a while now for the right moment to jump in. If this guy brings his hypothetical WWII dynamic campaign i would buy all the ED DCS WWII modules right away and eat noodles the next month. And i know a "lot" of people who would do the same. (not the noodles doh)

 

Mbot's dynamic campaign if for the Viggen, and aircraft, which first went into use in the 70's. He said he was thinking about using the 40mm Bofors from the Assets Pack, which is a WWII era flak. The 40mm Bofors used after WWII had nothing to do with the WWII Bofors.

Ed are not just providing a map like Nevada, they are providing new toys for the playground and asking a small price for all to enjoy, this community reads like money is a major issue for us all when in reality everyone who plays DCS spend a fortune on their systems and hotas etc..

The main problem about them has your can "force" to 3D AI modellers and / or 3rd parties with like make 3D packs to the starvation and bankrupt.

 

If the only profitable modules has only maps and modules and your 3D AI work can be "denigrate" as not profitable, the 3rd parties can fired 3D AI modellers and not make any 3D AI model. Rising the prizes has not a option, part of the community can attack you by "abusive" prizes release them to the oblivion.

question

 

Is there any incentive (besides supporting an awesome studio) to buy the assets if I do not intend to build custom WW2 missions, but only wish to join other peoples missions online?

 

edit: can I join games online that have the assets if I do not buy in?
