How stable is everyone finding the Normandy alpha release?

Is anyone having any major problems?

I just wanted to check on this before I commit to a major download with Australia's blindingly slow download speeds.

Or would it be better to wait a couple more weeks for the release version?

Cheers, Scream.

 

Ive been very impressed. I have had an issue where it crashes when exiting a mission, but only in VR and im suspecting something driver-wise because the crashing dll is an nvidia one. Outside of that, I've had maybe 2 bugs occur in 4 days of use, both resolved by restarting. I've also reported all my problems that I've had so most likely they will be fixed soon.

How are things running in VR? Are the visual improvements (lighting, etc) also quite noticeable with VR?

No problems here. There are some small issues with the new lightning, but I had no crashes or major bugs yet.

 

Barrage balloons ? Are they present ?

Oh ya, VR is absolutely beautiful, framerates are better, spotting targets seems to be easier. Overall VR is amazing.

Does that mean the closed alpha testers haven't seen it yet?

The damage model is a seperate project and not linked to the Normandy map itself. They have state that it is underway- and that is all we know. They have never said that it will be released with the Normandy map. Await seperate news on this as the have something more solid.

Hi Vander,

 

Great to hear that you intend to do some missions again. I really enjoyed your RoF missions!

 

I tried to make some shots of the objects around an airfield, hopefully this gives an idea:

 

 

Thanks a lot, those are some nice screenshots! :thumbup:

 

It would help if you could go into the mission editor and see which of the objects can be placed (under static objects), but I hope I can find that out soon by myself! :)

Can someone print screen a cockpit of the F-5E in Normandy? I want to see how you got the new lighting. Thank you!

Can some shed some light on how this marked area looks in the map?

I am fully aware that this area is not "developed" with cities and roads etc and that is is low detail. I am just wondering if it has some fields or forests or if it is just a green blanket.

 

I want to make a campaign of a Spitfire pilot before the invasion, so I'd like to know if the area is viable to fly over for planning purposes.

 

Screenshots apprieciated off course:)

It's ugly. Here's the edge of the detailed map.

Truly superior pilots are those that use their superior judgment to avoid those situations where they might have to use their superior skills.

 

If you ever find yourself in a fair fight, your tactics suck!

I have checked the static objects, but for now the only things wwii related objects seem to be the ground vehicles (part of the assets pack maybe?).

 

The structures that I can choose from look too modern to me (but I don't have much experience with the editor, let alone the objects).

 

I cannot find the ones that I showed in my pictures.

 

All WiP, I'd say :)

Thanks for the effort! Hope this changes or we can't have any (static) ground target objectives! :)
