In Normandy 2, it should be called, RAF Lashenden.

Edit: To be clear, I agree with you and DD Fenrir.

It's great to see Normandy 2 receiving updates. I really hope that the optimization sees a big performance improvement. London and Paris look great but at the moment this map by far has the worst performing fps for me, particularly over these city regions.

I wonder if they have flattend RAF Deanland runway bump, bug reported 18 months ago.

Beautiful updates to the map,  thank you, also much better performance.

Just a small tiny detail French flag should not be waving in June 1944,as France was still under Nazi regime.

I'm disappointed that the optimization doesn't appear to have improved performance at all for me. I'm only getting a stuttering 20 odd - 30 odd fps when flying low (in VR), particularly over London and Paris. By comparison, using the same settings, I get a nice smooth 60fps flying low over the Syria map and it looks great and is very enjoyable to fly on. I really hope they can make further optimization improvements to the Normandy map.

Hi, I'm finding exactly the same for me. In fact I've noticed more stuttering etc when looking at various angles especially heading East along the south coast looking North. This is on an nVme drive too

Not related specifically to the performance issues with the Normandy map, but your point about stuttering when looking in a certain direction might be related to lighting. I was flying low over the Sinai map the other day with a low sun at sunset and I noticed when looking left at the buildings illuminated in a red/orange light by the sun, I was experiencing stuttering, but when I looked right at the buildings that were not illuminated, there was no stuttering. I'm guessing it's something to do with the extra GPU load needed to calculate the light and shadows on ground objects. I haven't had time to test this yet on other maps and other lighting conditions, but anyway that's another issue. Just thought I'd mention it as an aside.

This is any time of day at the same angle. Definitely worse performance for me over all
