+streakeagle Posted September 4, 2016 Posted September 4, 2016 Had to come to and end sooner or later. Quote
exhausted Posted September 4, 2016 Posted September 4, 2016 (edited) I moved on years ago... it didn't do anything good for me. When I mentioned some of the early problems with it the dev got mad at me and told me I never shouldn't even be simming. I've simmed since 1994. Edited September 4, 2016 by exhausted 2 Quote
mono27 Posted September 4, 2016 Posted September 4, 2016 Sad news. I hope anyway YAP missions become freeware or payware from another legal site. It is a pitty to lose all that well deatiled missions. Quote
yubba Posted September 4, 2016 Posted September 4, 2016 I moved on years ago... it didn't do anything good for me. When I mentioned some of the early problems with it the dev got mad at me and told me I never shouldn't even be simming. I've simmed since 1994. I had alittle bit of that at skunkworks and here and there,, I told them don't get mad when you put out a mod that doesn't work,, and when someone like me comes along and fixes it ,,and let's people know how to do it..

+Sundowner Posted September 4, 2016 Posted September 4, 2016 All good things must come to an end, love it or hate it, the YAP team have given me and many others some of the best flight simming experiences ever. 2 Quote
+RAVEN Posted September 4, 2016 Posted September 4, 2016 I've enjoyed their stuff, mostly the AC I couldn't get anywhere else. All good things come to an end, then you just have to make them yourself. Nuff said. Quote
Do335 Posted September 4, 2016 Author Posted September 4, 2016 (edited) Anyone has Rising Sun phase 34? If yes could u check if the B29 has distance LODs? (LOD2, LOD3.. etc) Would appreciate the help... suppose it's mostly now or never so, if it provides distance LODs i'll get it. Edited September 4, 2016 by Do335 Quote
+strahi Posted September 4, 2016 Posted September 4, 2016 Anyone has Rising Sun phase 3? If yes could u check if the B29 has distance LODs?

Viggen Posted September 4, 2016 Posted September 4, 2016 Is there anything in particular from YAP that should get picked up before the site is shutdown? Quote
+Erik Posted September 4, 2016 Posted September 4, 2016 I do wish them the best of luck with whatever their lives lead them to. CA could offer to help retain the work but they are looking for a purchase it sounds like. Maybe someone here knows what the details of such a purchase would include? 1 Quote
Geary Posted September 4, 2016 Posted September 4, 2016 What a great body of work these guys produced. Hope they don't quit cold turkey. Love the real missions they re-created and especially the eye candy provided with the missions/mission sets. 1 Quote
+streakeagle Posted September 5, 2016 Posted September 5, 2016 I moved on years ago... it didn't do anything good for me. When I mentioned some of the early problems with it the dev got mad at me and told me I never shouldn't even be simming. I've simmed since 1994. 05 punished anyone who disagreed with him in any way. He also ripped off some of the modders who provided material to him. As I prefer to research and create my own historical missions to suite my preferences, my main use for YAP was the models, especially the aircraft carriers. No one else ever released a comparable Vietnam era CVAN-65 Enterprise. 1 Quote
+Coupi Posted September 5, 2016 Posted September 5, 2016 This morning I bought Rising Sun 4... Do you have any idea for other YAP Mods? Last year I purchased: - Rising Sun 1 - Carrier Pack 1 - YAP3 Set 3 Best regards Quote
+Sundowner Posted September 5, 2016 Posted September 5, 2016 Strait of Hormuz is pretty good too. 2 Quote
+Geezer Posted September 6, 2016 Posted September 6, 2016 my main use for YAP was the models, especially the aircraft carriers. Triggered by this thread, I picked up YAP4 and have been admiring the models. I've only skimmed the surface, but they look outstanding. Quote
Geary Posted September 6, 2016 Posted September 6, 2016 Triggered by this thread, I picked up YAP4 and have been admiring the models. I've only skimmed the surface, but they look outstanding. YAP4 ?? Quote
+Geezer Posted September 6, 2016 Posted September 6, 2016 YAP4 ?? The fourth release - Rising Sun 4 (?) I was wondering if the China map was hi-res, plus some of the models look really tasty. Quote
+Soulfreak Posted September 6, 2016 Posted September 6, 2016 Bobrock did a lot of models for YAP, most of them are available @ turbosquit.... Quote
Geary Posted September 6, 2016 Posted September 6, 2016 The fourth release - Rising Sun 4 (?) I was wondering if the China map was hi-res, plus some of the models look really tasty. You had me excited there for a bit. I thought I'd missed a YAP (Vietnam) set. Quote
Eole Posted September 6, 2016 Posted September 6, 2016 The fourth release - Rising Sun 4 (?) I was wondering if the China map was hi-res, plus some of the models look really tasty. All the tiles files (BMP & TGA format) are 512x512 sized but are looking good in game, pleasant surprise all the PSD for these files have been included in the package Another good thing this YAP last product is the only one intended to be used with SFP2 Thank you YAP for all the amazing stuff made all over the years.

Peugeot205 Posted September 6, 2016 Posted September 6, 2016 (edited) I own some of their missions sets , mainly due to the aircraft carriers, and the only thing I can say is that the level of quality of their work is simply amazing, and I wish them all the best. Edited September 6, 2016 by FRPignon Quote
charlielima Posted September 6, 2016 Posted September 6, 2016 (edited) I wish them well. perhaps an enterprising individual will peddle the individual files. I'd buy YAP3 for the T-28D if i didn't have to buy all 9 missions, that could be still worth it if i wasn't budgeting my sim time tho. perhaps i'll panic buy the helo pack with the H-34.
