And I assume neither map will actually have London? We're supposed to play BoB without being able to play Blitz?

 

BoB without London is just the same as BoB without the proper plane set equals to no BoB at all.

 

I don't think you're supposed to play BoB on that map :smartass:

Thanks for all these improvements in DCS. I would like to know if you will have the option to synchronize with the real weather at any given time?

Every 10 min the climate engine consults the actual local weather to generate the actual weather in DCS.

 

Will the P47 have a sales package with the channel map and WWII assets?

No the Channel is a different area with high detailed zones in France and UK, wont be the same areas as the Normandy Map. ANd no merging.

 

 

It doesn't make sense to me because the Normandy coast lines are on the "English Channel"

 

Don't get me wrong, I am very happy to learn that the South-Est of England, the North-Est of France and the low countries have been created on a map to support WWII scenarios from the late 30s to 1945 and it looks fantastic !

Please, don't take it the wrong way, but I feel it would have made much more sense to merge both map from a customer point of view, again, to my opinion.

 

Anyway, the newsletter brings a lot of cool stuff to look forward, 2020 is going to be great for DCS World ! :)

Except it's not a different area, it's included in Normandy, it's just not filled in in detail.

 

Anyway, Normandy performs poorly so just as well to keep them separated. But this still feels like being sold the same thing over again.

 

And I assume neither map will actually have London? We're supposed to play BoB without being able to play Blitz?

 

Normandy was just updated, you should try the performance boosts.

 

It is a different area, and unlike the Normandy map, we are getting highly detailed areas in the UK.

 

BoB would be nice in the future when we have a plane set for it. But London wasn't seeing a ton of action in 44-45.

The Normandy map doesn't have detailed UK towns and ports, or even airfields. The Channel map is farther North, with detailed UK and France.

 

It will also work down the road if we get some BoB aircraft as well.

Hi Nineline,

 

I was wondering if we could get some clarification on the Hornet owner discount? Will it be larger or equal to the preorder discount? I assume these discounts would not stack? Basically I just wouldn't want to see Hornet owners buy it at a 30% discount on preorder and then find out Hornet owners get 40% later. I'm not explaining myself well and I doubt that would come up but it is a potential friction point.

Discounts dont stack, so the Hornet Owner Discount will come after release. Will not be available during pre-order/Early Access.

In that case should Hornet owners just buy it in preorder or wait for the release for the best discount? Frankly I don't care either way because I don't mind supporting ED, but you know you'll have torches and pitchforks if we don't know which discount is better ahead of time. Some people will preorder thinnking that will be the best discount and other will wait. Which ever way it turns out you'll have angry people in the forum...

Yes I know it is a different area, but c'mon.... it is the same two countries......

 

Wait I wanna go a further up north or south ? Gotta load another map

 

Environment and setting are the same

 

I mean, I think everyone would be happy with that, win-win... like Normandy 2.0 or something

 

anyway, everything else looks awesome... even more excited about 2.5.6

Everybody gotta be offended and take it personally now-a-days

I don't have the info on the Hornet Discount at this time, but I think it will be on par with Pre-Order. But there will be different bundle options by then as well. So really up to people what they want to do.

Don't see any mention about fixing or revamping combined arms issues including ground movement and logic.

 

Its already been worked on last year, targeting through buildings got love, the issue with FPS and long paths is fixed internally waiting for 2.5.6. Issues with destroyed bridges is fixed internally and still getting tuned. Pathfinding will need love for things like Dynamic Campaigns...

Sooooo.... I see a mention of possibly adding working search lights. Can I now petition for an AI Lancaster bomber and either an Me 410 or late model Bf 110 nightfighter? Please? Pretty please??
