Real Weather has planned in a future, but actually has centred on clouds and storms.

 

Hey,

 

I was talking about how the advertisement in the newsletter is wrong, they say that Hoggit Multi Player servers have real world weather.

Newsletter quote "The persistent sessions save after a server restart and they include real-world weather and numerous other features."

In fact that weather on those MP servers is completely wrong from the real-world.

Now again I know ED can't do anything about it,

I just think its something that needs to be pointed out since info in that advert is false. And I hope Hoggit, and other servers that claim they have real-world weather but actually don't, can fix that.

Ok. I will buy the map and will test modern fighters. Beauvais-Tille seems to be able to handle Viper or Mud Hen.

Aren't newsletters supposed to have some news in them?

[cordite]

I agree with the guy a few posts above:

This newsletter was probably planned  to be about the beta update.

Yep, years ago I thought the same. But recognize that there is a group of people who consume newsletters only. They are not following events elsewhere, so for many people it will be 'news'.

No its about how much more detail has gone into the map since the original announcement. Ugra listened and added many new airfields and other POIs.

There is new information on Normandy 2 as well not everyone knows about every Community Server around.

Sure?

Meanwile some landing strips has not planned to use with moder fighters, others has airbase has modern fighters capables. And dont see any problem to take off from a grass airport.

 

The most remarkable thing about those videos are the colours of the textures. It all looks so much more realistic than how the Normandy map looks like now. I wonder why the textures/colours changed.

Rough times, be happy you still got the food man.

Seriously though, some newsletters are really nice, such as the first one in January each year, some are less meaty, it is what it is.

Make no mistake: The proof is in the pudding! I am still so impressed at times, my girl catch me going "Ooooh! Aaah" behind the VR glasses. Pure pleasure"

Nah, the vid was recorded in April 2017, half a year before the map relase. That's just how this internal build looked like back then.

[Hotdognz]

So does this statement mean we can fly from the updated Normandy 1944 into Normandy 2 on a server as a single map ??

The release of the new Normandy 2 map will also be a huge and free improvement to the Normandy 1944 map. This will allow all Normandy 1944 map owners to have all of the Normandy 2 map airfields at no extra cost. Having the same 69 airfields on both maps will allow players to share the sky in online campaigns and online missions. Ugra Media has done everything possible to remove any borders between the two maps.

From the Oct 7th newsletter it said that if you own the Channel and Normandy map the upgrade will be $9.99.

No mention of this in the current newsletter. Just the $14.99 price. So is this still the case?

 

 

I thought I had "Altersheimer's" already, but apparently, that's not the case. My thoughts exactly. Wouldn't complain about having to pay 15 bucks though for such an substantial upgrade.

Oh, by the way, while we're at it: May we perhaps finally expect a fix to that long standing kneeboard issue on Syria (don't even know if Normandy is affeceted as well BTW, would go for that as well if that was the case) with that slightly increased price even though it's not related to Syria at all?

Dear All,

to make it clear for everyone. The price policy will remain the same as we announced it in October:

Цитата

 

How much will it cost?

DCS: Normandy 2 will be available as a complete map for $59.99 USD with 20% off while in Early Access. If you have either DCS: Normandy 1944 or DCS: The Channel maps, you can purchase Normandy 2 for $14.99 USD. If you own both, you can purchase DCS: Normandy 2 for only $9.99 USD.

 

It was my personal mistake in March 2023 newsletter. 

 

[wowbagger]

Thanks for the clarification. The map looks like a great addition to WWII flying!

Thank you for clarification, Mrs. Perederko. By far the most honest comment, I´ve read in this forum for years ...

N2 and N'1944 will be separate maps SP but compatible online - working as single map MP.

Grazie. But in old Normandia 1.0 no airport compatibile in jet fighter. Impossibile take off in grass airport.

I fly jets on the Normandy 1944 map.

Carpiquet, Evreux, Conches and Tangmere all have asphalt/concrete runways.

Normandy is my favorite map and my "home" since two years, flying both jets and props. Jets from the four above and props from the grass fields in the south.

 

[Dragon1-1]

Most Russian jets should be able to fly off grass, and the Viggen too. It was an important design parameter in both cases, since the actual runways could very well be obliterated by a nuclear strike in case the Cold War went hot.

Viggen couldn't operate from grass fields in real life (I know this first hand:). L-39 can according the real manual, and maybe the F-5E.
