motoadve Posted December 18, 2019 Posted December 18, 2019 I read about it in IL2 forums. Normandy map and current DM is what keeps me out of DCS. Would be nice to have an updated map.
razo+r Posted December 18, 2019 Posted December 18, 2019 They updated the map just today, for the open beta version right now.

Sceptre Posted December 22, 2019 Posted December 22, 2019 been flying on the updated map for a few days now and still brings me as much pleasure as the first time I loaded it and saw the updated textures. This is a huge step towards a fully complete WW2 combat environment in DCS, something I have wished for a long time, so thank you RTX 2070 8GB | 32GB DDR4 2666 RAM | AMD Ryzen 5 3600 4.2Ghz | Asrock X570 | CH Fighterstick/Pro Throttle | TM MFDs | TrackIR 5
Wolf8312 Posted December 22, 2019 Posted December 22, 2019 Want to also express my appreciation! Its like a new experience now in VR, and performance with MS is incredible. The modules are just so fantastic to fly when it is smooth performance wise, and it is so incredible looking in VR and it captures Normandy and WW2 so perfectly. Hard to put into words what I actually feel when flying ineffable almost, but it justifies the expense of my whole setup each time I take off! I still find it hard to fly anything else, but when the wrinkles are ironed out, DCS WW2 will be unbeatable, because the core modules themselves are so above and beyond anything else on the market. Just seemingly little details that in truth make the difference between arcade and simulation, and make a huge difference in VR. Jetseat support is also a massive plus! ------------ 3080Ti, i5- 13600k 32GB VIVE index, VKB peddals, HOTAS VPC MONGOOSE, WARTHOG throttle, BKicker,
rhinofilms Posted December 23, 2019 Posted December 23, 2019 I also want to express my thanks. The map looks absolutely amazing and just for that I'm buying another module. So there.
