What about now?

C-46 Commando?

 

[Tanelorn]

Sure. I'll be out of town for the next few days but it is definitely doable.

Three more USAAC planes to take on those pesky tripods that invaded the US -according to mr. Orson Welles- in October 1938.
Or did they?

Early P36, B17A and P35 in USAAC colours.

C-46 Commando?

Close enough?

 

[techumseh]

Almost. I think it was a bit rounder around the middle. The C-46 always looks a bit overweight to me - it has a sort of oval shape fuselage. Also, if you don't mind, USAAF markings. Thanks for this, I appreciate it.

That's why I asked.

General question: how are all these civ2 scenario graphics copyrighted? I'm planning of converting civ3 scenarios to Freeciv, and I'll maybe could use all these great art I can find here.

Another question: Is there tool to convert civ2 scenario file to simple text data? So I could possibly convert civ2 scenarios too.

 

[CurtSibling]

Good luck scenario building in Freeciv. Reading ancient Indus script is easier.

As for the copyright, most of the graphics here are also posted by those who made them.
So PM them direct for permission, I suppose.

 

[Fullerene]

Thanks for the answer.

Just a note I have to say that Freeciv seems to become bit more scenario friendly than what it was when I last time played it. At least someone has created few scenarios for it, including Spanish and Russian civil wars.

But, being lazy as I am, my plan is to programmatically convert Civ3 scenario txt data to Freeciv save file and then manually finish it, maybe adding some events too.

 

[CurtSibling]

Sounds interesting, hope it works out. TBH, I've never found Freeciv very enticing compared to CIV2.
Now with the advent of ToTPP, the only thing Freeciv has over ToT is having more than 7 civs.

That's obviously a C-46! They were very distinctive aircraft, and you've captured it well. Last picky point: are the wings a little large for the fuselage?

 

[Tanelorn]

It is obvious I didn't scale down the wings when I shortened the fuselage. $#@!
I am running a fever...

Nailed it! Many thanks.

Say, this is just a purely vanity request, as it's not for any project at the moment, so not a priority, but is there anyone who could, when they have a moment whip up a Danish Hawker Danecock/Danekok (both spellings seemed to be used) that they were flying at the time of the 1940 German invasion?
