Mr_sukebe Posted June 25, 2018 Posted June 25, 2018 I did think that we are expecting a Normandy and asset pack update in June. I’m assuming that means this Wed. Looking forward to that. Wonder if speedtrees are part of that? 7800x3d, 5080, 64GB, PCIE5 SSD - Oculus Pro - Moza (AB9), Virpil (Alpha, CM3, CM1 and CM2), WW (TOP and CP), TM (MFDs, Pendular Rudder), Tek Creations (F18 panel), Total Controls (Apache MFD), Jetseat

The textures now reflect the more dusty, lighter, sandy surfaces Removal of permanent structures from ALG airfields Concrete surfaces for the airfields of Evreux, Carpiquet, and Tangmere Shallow water zones along the coastal areas New stone bridges More structures like farm houses outside the detailed areas of the map Added more objects like windmills WWII Assets pack New units added: M12 gun motor carriage M30 cargo carrier M2A1/M3 halftrack StuG IV Sd.Kfz. 234/2 "Puma" Sd.Kfz. 7 artillery tractor Sd.Kfz. 251 Sd.Kfz. 2 Kettenkrad Horch staff car Barrage balloons LCVP Higgins boats UK soldier Weirdly 2 days before it was announced as "coming improvements" on the 8th.

I think I read somewhere that the current build might be going into general release this Wednesday.

saburo_cz Posted June 25, 2018 Posted June 25, 2018 I hope that Spitfire will be finished in incoming patch, means CW model, external fuel tanks and bombs. I do not expect any improvements in Normandy, but would be nice to be surprise with something new :) F6F P-51D | P-47D | F4U-1D | Mosquito FB Mk VI | Spitfire | Fw 190D | Fw 190A | Bf 109K | WWII Assets Pack Normandy 2 | The Channel | Sinai | Syria | PG | NTTR | South Atlantic F-4E | F-14A/B | F/A-18 | F-86 | F-16C | A-10C | FC-3 | CA | SC |
Lordfacker84 Posted June 26, 2018 Posted June 26, 2018 i'm sorry but is expected winter terrain textur for normandy map?
Reflected Posted June 26, 2018 Posted June 26, 2018 I'm hoping for the Spitfire goodies as well. But mainly hoping they finally fix the AI Search and engage task bug so that custom missions start working again.. Facebook Instagram YouTube Discord
71st_AH Rob Posted June 26, 2018 Posted June 26, 2018 i'm sorry but is expected winter terrain textur for normandy map? No. There was an official answer to this question from Nineline that the focus is on Summer of 44. It was also in the early discussion of the map after ED took over. Nineline did mention that it was a remote possibility in the distant futurer that this may be revisited and could get a fourth season. Of course this would also be a rich opportunity for one of our terrain modders to make a winter texture since the mission editor uses the spring texture from Jan to June and the fall from September onwards, should be able to slip a different texture in without upsetting too many.
Chelco Posted June 28, 2018 Posted June 28, 2018 Did anybody notice any improvement in performance, as promised in an earlier newsletter? Thanks, Real and Simulated Wars

Chelco Posted June 29, 2018 Posted June 29, 2018 Thanks! I did a couple of quick flights yesterday but didn't notice anything. I am going to try the Charnwood campaign to see if any improvement is noticeable. Cheers, Real and Simulated Wars
Art-J Posted June 29, 2018 Posted June 29, 2018 Well, I did notice great reduction of microstuttering, especially on the ground, but that was partially because of generally smoother performance of 2.5.1 & 2.5.2 compared to 2.5.0 and partially because of massive reduction of grass density (plus removal of all these idiotic stones) on airfield aprons. That, coupled with less psychedelic colour palette made Normandy a somewhat playable product for me again. For the same reasons average framerate also went a couple of fps up on the ground, but not really in the air. That being said, I'm afraid they won't get rid of stuttering completely unless they implement speedtree tech on this map too. It's still the most hardware intensive map of the whole bunch. i7 9700K @ stock speed, single GTX1070, 32 gigs of RAM, TH Warthog, MFG Crosswind, Win10.
Chelco Posted July 3, 2018 Posted July 3, 2018 Thanks! I checked one of the campaigns and no change is noticeable. Real and Simulated Wars
cordite Posted July 4, 2018 Posted July 4, 2018 Update mentioned in change log, but no mention of what. Anyone notice anything?

birkenmoped Posted July 4, 2018 Posted July 4, 2018 Were the textures overworked or am I just imagining it? Or is the sun just good in the sky? And were all these extras such as boxes, barrels, appliances, generators, etc. always present on certain airfields?

And were all these extras such as boxes, barrels, appliances, generators, etc. always present on certain airfields? Wasn't that the stuff done in the start of June patch? Fancy trying Star Citizen?

birkenmoped Posted July 5, 2018 Posted July 5, 2018 I already knew the new textures of the ALGs and new concrete runways, but I figured the textures would look a bit different again. Could be due to the year or time of day. And regarding the embellishments on some airfields .... I have probably never seen or visited. Sorry for that.
REDEYE_CVW-66 Posted July 5, 2018 Posted July 5, 2018 It seems they are improving it incrementally yes. I have never noticed those objects either.
