call me an optimist if you want to - but I can see an early alpha release as soon as 1st quarter 2018, a beta ready by late 2018 and ta-ta-ta a Normandy Map no later than by late 2019 ! This is earlier than I expected, which was early 2020.

Although those screenshots aren't that impressive, it's nice to actually sense the map hasn't been totally forgotten about. Even if those screenshots, and I'm not saying they are, are from two years ago.

That's rough indeed. Even after reading your comments about it being not so impressive I wasn't quite expecting that. But I was wondering whether it was even actively looked after at all, so it's already something to see it acknowledged. It's just a pain to think about what the release date might be for that. 2020 is not really something I'd rule out yet at this point...

if it follows the Nevada map schedule my estimate of late 2019 is optimistic, the Nevada map to me, is nothing more that a demo with blurry terrain around some detailed areas. Lots of potential yes, but far from being realized.

by the way - the DCS WW2 kickstart is over 3 years old, started in May 2013.

I really like the arrangement of the Objects. Specially of the buildings. Looks realistic. But the textures, as usual, very whashed out.

I'm pretty sure I've seen colour photographs and video from WW2.
What was shown on the kickstarter page looks far better than what's in that first screenshot.

I am sure if you fly over Normandy today, the terrain colors look very much the same as they did in 1945.

Take a peek/pick !

26 pages of awesomeness and beauty (talking about land, here, obviously biggrin )

Plenty to look at. Though buildings and cities have evolved, the whole area retains its original look from 1939-1945. Gorgeous place, if you ask me.

Greetings from France !

Has anyone seen an image of this proposed Normandy map?

If not, why the secrecy?


There was only 16 squadrons of RAF fighters that used 100 octane during the BoB.
The Fw190A could not fly with the outer cannon removed.
There was no Fw190A-8s flying with the JGs in 1945.

Because the Kickstarter was 3 years ago and it's still 112 years away from an alpha release, 118 years from beta and ~infinity from ever being finished and ED also need to ensure that everyone that contributed has completely forgotten that they're actually owed something in return.
