im confused... so how do i actually install normandy map? I have dcs 2.0 and pre purchased normandy. Apparently you can update 2.0 (but thats not working) or am i right in thinking you can download a fresh version of 2.0 using the installer via the website and once done normandy should be there?

 

EDIT Tis working now... i just used the updater icon in start menu, eagle dynamics... took a few goes, but finally it has bitten!.. only getting 1mg per second.. 5 mins in 22 peers... so yes its slow!

looks like something funny.. it tells me that 2.0.5.3889.199 is up to date, but no terrain or purchased module for normandy available. :doh:

 

will keep trying, but dcs keeps telling me no internet connection or nothing new...

but if nothing else, it does show how big the community is, which has to be taken as a positive :)

Downloading! Super excited!

Got 2.1 but dont see in module menu any normandy to download :(

[mrsteel]

Use Utility or Command Line to install, Seems Module Manager is having some issues.

dcs_updater.exe install NORMANDY_terrain

 

Hopefully this'll fix your guy's problem.

I couldn't get it running, got some error messages about msvcp140.dll missing.

Googled and found out I had to install a Microsoft redistributable.

Installed that and tried again - the DCS process fired up but then died down again.

Ran the DXSETUP.exe and it installed some files - tried again...no luck :(

WILL EXPLORE FURTHER!

 

----------------------------UPDATE-----------------------

Went for running DCS_updater.exe as admin - didn't make any difference.

Tried running it with Microsoft compatible settings - got told that DCS_updater.exe

was incompatible.

NOTE: You might wanna DISREGARD this, I don't take MS troubleshooting too seriously.

AH MAN...JEEEEESUS...I MEAN...MAAAAAN

I checked the logfile in my saved games folder, it said something about not being able to load the Bell47 (a MOD!!!). So I removed the Bell47 from the mods/aircraft folder.

And I got in!

Will keep updating, this gonna be a looong night :)

 

 

---------------------UPDATE-------------------------------------

No Normandy map available under DLC. But maybe later ;)

---------------UPDATE 2---------------------------

Sent to me from rge75

 

There are threads about it ;-)

Either refresh the list or use the cmd line

dcs_updater.exe install NORMANDY_terrain in the DCS bin folder (run as administrator)

 

IT WORKS!!! IT'S INSTALLING RIGHT NOW!

Use following command line to download both packages.

 

DCS_updater.exe install NORMANDY_terrain WWII-ARMOUR

Good one, mr Jumbik-man!

Now as it is, this here Normandy map is rollin' in. I'd wager I can split the command to install the second package afterwards. Like this?

DCS_updater.exe install WWII-ARMOUR

yes you can, but doing both at the same time will seed longer ;)

LOL - you sure about that? Like doing two things separately opposed to doing them together...that don't mean nothing in regards to the uptime. I mean it shouldn't really matter.

Or maybe I'm dumb or sumtin? I've had a few beers by now :)

just to give you some food for though (and a couple of beers more), imagine, that transactional costs are non-zero...

[brp51d]

Little headsup for german liveries:

If you create a mission with the WWII preset from the editor, some countries get renamed.

 

Germany -> Third Reich. This affects all user skins. You have to edit all description.lua of german liveries:

countries = {"GER, NZG"}

 

Then you can use all your user skins with the WWII preset.

 

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