Firstly: If you wish to install Normandy you must download DCS 2.0; this version of DCS is in alpha and is more prone to bugs and crashes however it allows you to have fun with newer features such as the new "Global Lighting" system. It also is a requirement for Normandy, which will NEVER be released on 1.5 (The version most are currently running). I recommend that you visit this link: https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/ ... rld/alpha/ , and download 2.0 if you do not already have it. (Side Note: If I were you I would download DCS 2.0 EVEN if I do not have Normandy or Nevada as the Caucasian Map that you regularly fly will eventually be moved to 2.0 in the distant future anyway.)
Secondly: YOU MUST BUY DCS Normandy and The Asset Pack is recommended: you may not be able to get on certain servers without the latter. Here is a Link to the bundle pack containing both: https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/ ... ck_bundle/
These Modules are Steam Incompatible
Installation
1:
Once you have downloaded DCS 2.0, run the application at least once to set up all of the appropriate folders.
(It may tell you that you do not have any terrains the first few times you run the program: ignore this)
2:
After you have run DCS 2.0 for the first time you must navigate to your DCS 2.0 folder
It should look something like this:
...\DCS(2.0)\DCS World 2 OpenAlpha

Then navigate to " bin ."
your folder address should look similar to this:
...\DCS(2.0)\DCS World 2 OpenAlpha\bin
4:
Right click on "DCS_updater.exe" and create a shortcut.
(If you do not see the ".exe" extension, that may be due to the fact your computer is set up to hide known extensions, here is a tutorial on how to change that for Windows XP - 8: https://www.howtohaven.com/system/show- ... orer.shtml
Windows 10 version of that tutorial: http://www.thewindowsclub.com/show-file ... in-windows)
