Yeah, I like trains.

By the way: about the 3 Ugra map: Normandy 2.x is the only map which does not have/uses procedural surfacedatail objects.
(you know guys: this is the new "smallsh*t" stuff what (can) install small trees, bushes, shrubs, flowers, stones, rocks, mushrooms, branches, and other diverse small 3D objects on the surface "above graas": visible only in short range and cannot be adjustable the visibility range currently - not to be confused with the grass visibility range what got tweaking slider in the options menu/windows)


Normandy 2.x .sd5 is empty, has no splatlayer-placement-protocol (yet), however on the old Normandy 1.x map .sd2 "planted" 4 different size of stones and 2 types of branches on the surface (amongst the sparse blades of grass). 
So, it would be good to remedy this shortcoming and see some surfacedetail objects update on the Normandy 2.0 map (and on the Caucasus and Modern-Marianas maps as well: and a new surfacedetail-visibility-range slider in the Options what is the duty of ED next to a new map-object-ref-model GLASS material+shader  )

Hi fighters

War leaves scars not only on the battlefields but also on the streets of great cities. We’ve added new ruin objects in London and Paris that will make your flights over the cities even more atmospheric.

Get ready for new challenges in DCS: Normandy 2.0! We added German radar points and air defense positions. The radars were laid out based on historical data, maps and reports including materials kindly provided by our community.

Get ready to take off! 
… and check your flight plans so you don’t become a target yourself.

You must be sick of hearing that the Normandy map is looking fantastic! Yes! The map is fantastic!

This update keeps getting better and better!

Fantastic job Urga!

this looks very cool. Quick question though:  are these ruined objects Dynamic in nature, i.e. they appear after a bomb explosion?  Or they are static 'theme' that'll always just be there?  

Or are they based on the mission editor trigger (there's some triggers for damaged scenery something)?

This is great, now looks more like WWII London,  what about ruins in Caen?

Make a small zone at areas in Caen and use the destroy objects on mission start on hose zones. You can also use explosions instead and have different levels of destruction in the zones.
