Hi all, here are a few units I made that I haven't seen available for Civ3 yet:
Air Force One (VC-25), Marine One (HMX VH-60 Blackhawk), Boeing 757, Boeing C32 (U.S. military version of the 757), and the Boeing E4B ("doomsday plane").
Mostly they are eye-candy for the American civ. I like to use them as VIP transports with high defense and high movement on regicide games. So they are aircraft that are free to move around; in fact I usually turn off re-base to make it more realistic. The AI doesn't use them (obviously).
The original models were included in the Bryce software (or one of the other modeling programs I tried), so I can't claim credit for the models; though I did modify them quite a bit and recolor them. Also these are my first Civ models (as I made these I was learning how to use the software) so don't expect perfection in these
They only have default animations (due to my lack of animating skills), though you could probably use a generic explosion flic for the death animation. It isn't very noticeable on the planes, but the rotors don't rotate on Marine One which is a bit disappointing. No sounds, INI files, or other content in included with these; just the default flic.
The 757 is intended to be used for any civ and has team specific civ colors that are tested in-game and work; though not all colors look good on it. None of the other units have civ colors.
Air Force One definitely turned out the best and looks good in-game. The E4B turned out a bit smaller than I would have liked, so when it is next to AF1 it looks a bit odd but otherwise fine.
You are on your own for installing these and I don't regularly check these forums so please don't ask me for help. You are welcome to use these in any personal or public mods, all I ask is a brief mention in the mod readme as a contributor.
Enjoy!
