Folks, the YAP´s Rising Sun is fantastic FOR SFP1... For SFP2 a lot of editing needs to make the terrains to work well - but is possible. As for the ships, I don´t know how to do. The planes are simply fantastic (the P-38s are better than IL-2´s ones). The RS are mainly based on pre-made single missions, wich is useless due SFP2 structure. I just recieved a message from YAP about the pending RS-phase 4. Read it:
"Rising Sun cost a fortune and did not make it back. We are committed to finish it because we are dumb and determined. So if we make enough money on our next venture, we will complete it. Our terrain man just reappeared and that was an impediment. As far as airplanes, it is very model heavy. LOTS of aircraft. We have almost all the ships now. But LOTS of airplanes. If you think a Ventura is cool, we might throw one in. I cannot tell yo which ones because I cannot find the list but LOTS. Thanks for being ONE of the few who recognized that IL-2, with a better game engine and great skills and a big budget, still cannot tell the story of the war in the Pacific like I cannot tell about Stalingrad. Terrains I can tell you off the top of my head: China Japan Philippines Iwo Jima Okinawa We have versions but they do not reflect the actual character of the foliage or ground color."
I know about some issues between some members of this Community and John Shelton, it´s not my business. If put this aside, it´s highly recomended. Cheers!
