First off since this is my first post,.. Hello subsim community. Secondly, I applaud the efforts you guys have put into SH4 in particular in order to make it a more playable/enjoyable/realistic experience. All this is really cool to see!
Before I get to my question a little background. I'm not really new to the SH series. A long long time ago I bought the original MS-dos SH and thoroughly LOVED it. I didn't follow the series closely after that as I'm not very interested in the Atlantic side of things. So I didn't get any other titles till I saw SH4 which I jumped on IMMEDIATELY! This was sometime during early 2008. Some of it felt like and reminded me of the original BUT it was so buggy and quirky that I quickly lost interest. Last week I was going thru some of my old titles and ran across SH4 again so I thought I'd give it another try. Well this time has been a bit different since I've figured a few things out on how to get mods into my 1.4 version. This is a credit to all the work/love you guys have put into making SH4 as good as it can be. So once again, Thank You!
Now, my big thing is realistic environments and I've got a couple of mods that address some things in this regard (that look great for what they do btw),. BUT,. I've yet to see a (literally) HUGE environmental issue addressed. (forgive me if I just haven't found it yet) Has anyone else noticed the gargantuan size of the prehistoric palm trees that line the channel in/out of Pearl Harbor? Or is it just that those buildings/towns are scale models to throw off the enemy somehow? Or,. (here's the important one) does anyone care?
My hope is that now that I've pointed it out, it'll bother enough other people so that someone will do something about it.
I know that there are many more important aspects that deserve priority, but this is one of those issues that speaks to polish/realism and I want SH4 to be as realistic as possible. Reply's requested. Anyone else?
