VIVID NORMANDY 2.0 by Barthek

Can I ask..will this pass IC online? I did have it working but now it doesn't lol........and I can't go back to that lime green mess

[Barthek]

Legends say that if you want to pass IC, you need to go directly to multiplayer after launching DCS. Haven't tried it myself tho.

Because of the recent GTM: Normandy Textures I started "rediscovering" the Warbirds.  So thanks again!

I only play on this map by setting time to summer since your great texture mod... There's a lot of awesome work from talented people in "mod" section, but the only two that are permanently activated on my DCS since availables are Barthek's Normandy and Caucasus texture sets.

What up Barthek: You still thinking about doing spring and autumn for this one? Just asking since 1; would love to have the 'whole set'. 2: You usually kick out season variants together with your main releases.

Hello Barthek, me again
Was wondering if you are able to retexture the grass fields.  Specifically the roughmets, I suppose.  For some reason the runway and taxiways don't match the surrounding grass at all, it's extremely shiny and bounces light like it's green ice

Hi Barthek.

 

Would you consider making a Low Terrain Textures version of this mod?

 

I need to fly with Low Terrain Textures to be able to use Syria with my limited computer ( aged and 16G Slow DDR3 RAM ) but this wonderful mod only works withe the High Textures Terrain option.

 

I understand if this is a lot of work only for a limited audience but if you dont mind asking me for that.

 

Thanks.

I wonder if UGRA would integrate these textures into the map as a default.  They're just so good

[REDEYE_CVW-66]

I just hope he gives the same treatment to the Channel at some point. While that map now is very nice in terms of details and objects, I think the colours are off and could use a Barthek workover. This Normandy repaint together with the 2.7 clouds is totally magnificent.

How is it possible that with so little you have done something so wonderful!!!! You improved the map of Normandy so much that it became my favorite. Thank you very very much. You are a genious. Please do the same with the Channel map. This was my favorite map until your magic hands touched the map of Normandy.

[Barthek]

Sadly, I don't own the Channel map. And I am currently working on the Caucasus makeover. Thank you for your positive comments, guys!

If you are a VR user I wouldn’t bother. Others may have different views, for me it’s unplayable.

Great Mod 

[Marez]

Is this mod compatible with the new normandy map update? I don't want to install the latest update for fear that your mod won't work.

Yep, it's all working fine.

Thanks Barthek for your great work!!

Even after the appreciated Normandy Map updates in DCS 2.7.4.9632 Open Beta - 21.07.2021   I appreciate the Barthek mod more.

On a positive Note Urga Media could quickly adopt Bartheks GTM: Normandy and have much less work in creating a Normandy FALL map!

 

• DCS Default DCS Normandy - Like Early Summer - fresh new greener grass 
• GMT Normandy - Like Late Fall - Everything is a little darker

The darker shades is only part of it. The Barthek version breaks up the agricultural fields much more with different types and shades, and creates a more believable 'european palette' and texture. His first Channel repaint 'vivid Channel' goes a long way towards doing the same for that map. For some reason, the map creators have an idea that western Europe is predominantly a light green palette broken by the occasional wheat field, when it is indeed looks more like a 'chess board' of various crops and random field shapes. It does not take long to prove this point. Watch some youtube vids (both historical combat footage and modern- including google earth) and it is easy to see. For some reason few people seem to care about this, but for me map repaints is the only way.

[YSIAD_RIP]

@REDEYE_CVW-66   % agree!

 

I have added to the NORMANDY "Wish List"

[DB 605]

Thanks a lot for this great mod, brings old normandy on new level! So much more fun to fly there now.

[Quekel]

Just flew IL2 Cliffs of dover, and reminded me of Bartheks Mod! Looks the best, even better then IL2 Bodenplatte

[kablamoman]

Just tried this out and it's almost painful (knowing they won't pass IC) how much more authentic the textures look with the mod.

I really hope someone considers rolling this work into an official update.

Good morning! Sorry for the question, is this Mod also compatible in MP?
