Right. Plus you will see a lot of screens and trailers about the same time.

Working hard... even burning sometimes.
Still have a lot of things to do!

Racoon, from WW2 Normandy team, confirm ED has plans on improve trains on WW2 scenery. Add trains as objets on the editor and logistic system on a future

http://forums.eagle.ru/showpost.php?p=2864004&postcount=433
I do understand importance of a trains for WWII scenarios. We have all major railroads in the Normandy map now. Big problem is that trains in DCS aren't objects for mission makers. So we should create this feature for sure.


http://forums.eagle.ru/showpost.php?p=2864169&postcount=437

There are two features actually:
- train as a object for missions;
- train as a transportation unit for warehouse-airfield supply system.
It takes time to make any of them.

Not bad if can improve a truck logistic system to improve WW2 and others war sceneries.

Normandy info and WW2 Assets Pack (Free to WW2 Kickstarter Normandy map owners)

The DCS: Normandy 1944 Map and DCS: World War II Assets Pack will be available for download by late April 2017.

More details coming this weekend in the Newsletter!

The DCS: Normandy 1944 Map is centred on the World War II battlefield of Normandy, France and is specifically created to depict the period after the D-Day landings and the establishment of several allied airfields in Normandy to support the beachhead breakout in late June 1944. The map measures 267 x 348 kilometres and includes airfields in both Normandy and southern England. The map includes the famous D-Day landing beaches and the “Atlantic Wall”, rolling bocage fields of Normandy, large cities like Caen and Rouen, ports of Cherbourg and Le Havre, and 30 airfields. The map also includes multiple seasons and more detail and accuracy than any previous DCS World map by utilizing new map technologies.
A vital aspect of creating an authentic World War II battlefield is to populate it with matching artificial intelligence (AI) World War II assets. The DCS: World War II Assets Pack provides numerous World War II air, land and sea assets to populate the Normandy and other DCS World maps with.

Upon release in late April 2017, the DCS: Normandy 1944 Map and DCS: World War II Assets Pack bundle will be sold for $59.99, and the stand-alone DCS: Normandy 1944 Map for $44.99 and the stand-alone DCS: World War II Assets pack for $29.99.
