Problems with Normandy 2

[Bobstar]

Hi All, Firstly, Is anyone in the same position as me? I have found that N2 is completely unplayable in VR and not particularly good in 2D where I'm concerned. I fly quite happily in Syria, PG, Channel & N1 whilst in VR with no problems but, N2 is a disaster. Now, I'm not jumping on developers or ED, I completely understand how much work is envolved in producing such a map but, is this just the natural progression of map making, so much detail that my rig just can't handle the rendering? Secondly, now that N2 is unplayable for me, is there anyway I can revert back to N1? Or, has that been overwritten by my purchase of N2? And finally, this is a 'first world problem' but, something that would annoy me if I was to fly N2....No Brighton, Worthing and various other piers on the south cost?

N1 is replaced by N2 assets for all N1 owners, this is for MP compatibility and SP campaign makers.

Disabling the N2 "update" - means high res textures, airfields, railway tracks, etc. for areas outside the boundary of the original N1 map aren't drawn.

AFAIK the only way to retain the old version of the Normandy map, is to run an older version DCS i.e. Stable 2.8.1.34667

Thanks for that.

Please provide your system specs so we can understand more fully what your issues might be regarding Normandy2 fidelity and computer performance.

Also, are you running the MT version?

Thanks for the reply but, crises averted! I've sorted it thanks.
