Caucuses map is currently only in 1.5. When they're finished doing the map update it will be available as a module for 2.5 along with Nevada, Normandy and the other maps they're developing. But don't hold your breath. Nasa could terra form mars before ED could update the caucuses map for 2.5
DCS Kickstarter Wags July 2014 "In this July 2014 update, the primary news is in regards to the restructured backer rewards. After a careful review of the older system under RRG, we found it financially unattainable." Wags October 2017 "the investment vs. generated revenue has been excellent for the World War II aircraft. In fact, the P-51D Mustang has twice the cost effectiveness of the A-10C Warthog."

Sorry, but I'm confused... what happened to the good old installers that we've all been using for the past... I dunno... 20 years? Command line installation? What year is it? I do apologize. I realize ED is new to the scene and hasn't released any games before and thus has to be cut some slack in terms of getting stuff to install properly. After all, the question "How do we get our alpha testers to install this on their machines so they can bug test for us?" has never come up in their brainstorming meetings. After a great deal of research, technology development, and design Might need a bit more "technology development" there, bud!

Seems kind of weird to me that the free map wouldn't automatically be upgraded and piggy back on to any big update. There is no free map in v2.x.

Anyone remember this from not so long ago.....still takes a few members of the public to fix the balls up Better late than never: The busiest their forum has ever been is.....
Most users ever online was 1,654, 12-08-2016 at 02:47 PM
So not really that shocking.
Nate
Obviously those 1,654 must have been reporting a serious bug....... Never would that amount of people be online on ED's forums if the life was good. Surely the release of Nevada and the screw up it was to download the map must have come close to that figure in terms of end user complaints? Even took a member of the public to set up a torrent so the end user's could download the map and avoid ED's own torrent system, Or has everyone forgotten what a screw up that map release was. No doubt it will take another member of the public to fix Ed's balls up when Normandy is released

So EVENTUALLY (after about 60Gb* of downloading and much gnashing of teeth) i have managed to get Normandy Installed. Using DOS commands of all things (what century are we in again??) But now I can't use it. Where is it? how do I use it? I am just exasperated that a major release can go so bad. It's just ludicrous.
Was this distribution method tested at all???
But thern again this is DCS and all things are subject to change (even if they don't work) LOL
Its just comical (if I really cared I could be quite angry at this debacle lol)
SD.
* when i first clicked the DCS world button it downloaded 44GB of data(which I thought was a bit strange) once that finished (after about 6hrs) I opened DCS world but no Normandy (or assets) were available. It turns out I then had to resort to using DOS commands (WOW) did I just wake up in 1980? So after I run both Dos commands twice because the first time they didn't work, the WWII assets appeared but still no Normandy (I still cant believe i'm writing "dos commands" in 2017). So I try again. No joy. So I give up and I go to bed. I wake up go to my PC start DCS world and LO and Behold Normandy is listed in my Modules. but how do I use it? where is it?
what a bloody farce. I am just about to give up on the whole bloody mess.

SD Here ED's consumers were thinking after more than a year, the next map\update would be an easy install.....or then again, the post above yours practically says it all

I came home yesterday evening and still the updater did not find any new updates to install, so I made these bat files to install it, must have taken the whole night to do it as only early in the morning it was finishing the last download to do it read this http://SimHQ.com/forum/ubbthreads.p...ap-and-assets-pack-installer#Post4359770I'll give it a go after I read my newspaper and browse the news, I hope everything works OK.

The Create Fast Mission function does not work yet. The Instant Action is currently only supporting WWII aircraft. However, any aircraft can be flown in a mission created in the ME.
