I did...heard that was the licensing problem earlier and that they are fixing it at the moment. Guess Ill find out later if it works, but as of now it says Normandy 2.0 is still for sale, yet Normandy 1944 was updated with a 40gb update...not sure what that means.

Normandy 1944 gets updated for free if you own it. The entire new map but low res textures for the new areas.

The Normandy 2.0 upgrade gives you the high res textures in the new areas.

Yeah I see it now...heres London Bridge. I never got that far into Normandy, but pretty sure this is part of the new map.

The weird thing is that it doesnt state its Normandy 2.0...that would be a nice distinction.

I paid $20Cdn. for the upgrade and I own all the maps. I think I should have paid about $14Cdn. I'm not going to cry about a few dollars, but clarity in purchases is always appreciated.

 

Nice map though. 

Some of the planes, but all of the maps!

Is your Open Beta a standalone or Steam version?

My understanding is if you have the Normandy 1944 map it gets upgraded to Normandy 2 High Detail FOR ONLY THE 1944 AREA. But the full Normandy 2 map is larger and has more detailed areas. You still have to purchase the Normandy 2 map to get the full area in high detail. No changes are made to the Channel Map therefore it does not get upgraded as this time.

In otherwords all owners of Normandy:1944 are getting a free upgrade to Normandy 2.0 Light which gives you a key to Normandy 2 for the unlock and does not actually give you the full 2.0 map and detailed areas, only some of it is for the 1944. This is also what allows 1944 owners to play on 2.0 servers without paying for an upgrade they just won't see some of the pretty pretty stuff.
As per the Faq ....

" I already own DCS: Normandy 1944. What happens?
Excellent! Your existing DCS: Normandy 1944 map will be updated for free so that the whole area of the original map is in the same high-detail as in the DCS: Normandy 2.0, and you will benefit from updated airfields and a significantly increased total map area but at a lower level of detail.

You will still be able to play on your favourite servers or with friends even if they upgrade to DCS: Normandy 2.0 and you don’t, but your areas of high-detail are significantly smaller and may be missing world objects.

If you wish to, you may pay $14.99 USD to upgrade to DCS: Normandy 2.0 for all the benefits described above."

I think the new Lagacy Keys for 2.0 are setting off the "You already have a key for this product" warning.

Just bought Normandy 2 for $3.45!!!!
 
New to DCS, 4weeks in,  bought some props, Channel map and asset pack too. Turns out I amassed some miles and could use those to fund this. Bit of a result and for a change in my favour.
Now off to DL and see what's it all about!
Why would you mix miles and cash? Then you lose the miles on your purchase!

I think it said miles wouldn't be accrued for this transaction as already discounted, plus I didn't know about miles anyway and paying £3 for a decent map got me all hot and sweaty.

But what a glorious map!
