zero Posted May 27, 2017 Posted May 27, 2017 Shall this module be detected and install through normal manager? Does not show up. Normandy will not run.
razo+r Posted May 27, 2017 Posted May 27, 2017 install the Normandy and the assets pack via the command lines
zero Posted May 27, 2017 Author Posted May 27, 2017 install the Normandy and the assets pack via the command lines Normandy installed OK and key activated. Error message with WWII armour missing when trying to fly. Have tried the command with .\ and without .\ Is it a separate module, or must I reinstall? Is it possible to uninstall just the Normandy module? Will I be down to 8 activation?
razo+r Posted May 27, 2017 Posted May 27, 2017 do you own the assets pack? are you trying to join a server when this happens?
antagonist Posted May 27, 2017 Posted May 27, 2017 Nope, from what I've been told by Hiromachi, if you don't have the asset pack installed, you cannot use the Normandy map at this point, not even for test flight. That said, he only tested the P-51, so maybe it works with other planes... I'm installing ATM, I will test it myself sometime today.
zero Posted May 27, 2017 Author Posted May 27, 2017 OK. It is the extra stuff I paid for? (bundle). Guess it will show up in the module manager some day. Have the key ready for it.
razo+r Posted May 27, 2017 Posted May 27, 2017 as I said, you can force DCS to install the assets pack via the command console lshift + right click on the "bin" folder and enter the line: dcs_updater.exe install WWII-ARMOUR
zero Posted May 27, 2017 Author Posted May 27, 2017 as I said, you can force DCS to install the assets pack via the command console lshift + right click on the "bin" folder and enter the line: dcs_updater.exe install WWII-ARMOUR OK. will try it for tenth time. with and without .\ Doubt it will work. Anyway. Normally, with it show up in manager menu: modules or terrain or avail? Fed up with clicking around and refresh.
zero Posted May 27, 2017 Author Posted May 27, 2017 razo+r I did work tenth time. Downloading now. Still pessimistic. Always next hill to climb in this adventure. After hours you think you got it - but no cigar
Balzarog Posted May 27, 2017 Posted May 27, 2017 OK. will try it for tenth time. with and without .\ Doubt it will work. Anyway. Normally, with it show up in manager menu: modules or terrain or avail? Fed up with clicking around and refresh. You might need to type DCS instead of dcs. The asset pack will be WWII-ARMOUR.

antagonist Posted May 27, 2017 Posted May 27, 2017 Alright, apparently, the WW2 asset pack is required for the instant action missions Normandy ships with. Tested with the 109K module. So right now, if you only bought the map, you're boned. (And yes, I bought the bundle, that doesn't mean I agree with this if the choice was deliberate...if it wasn't and this is simply just another issue with the release being an alpha build, still not cool, but somewhat forgivable.)
antagonist Posted May 27, 2017 Posted May 27, 2017 Yeah, if you bought the bundle, you're golden. (Also, holy crap that fog eats FPS...)
