Is anyone working on a C46 for pacific paratroop movies?

That aircraft was widely used in Burma and "The hump". Anyway, as always is up to the modders XD.

somebody's already done a nice 3D Max version, though i have no idea if it's compatible with IL2 conversion...

wonder if a modder here could get permission from 'that' author to 'nab' it? sort've doubt it as the price he's asking is $250.00 US dollars. lol... still, ya never know till ya ask. be good advertisement for his other work. lol.

Would be fun to shoot down

[Beowolff]

true...but trust me, it'd be fun to FLY as well. these planes handled beautifully... very authentic WW2 transport and widely used all over. really, should never have been left out of the original PF game.
