Hi!
I was thinking that in the early aviation chapter, there is a big gap in early north american airplanes in Transport Fever 2.
I also think that the Ford Trimotor is a good representative of an interwar airplane for an american scenario.
Its an aircraft that still has some existing models for reference, so there are good sources to create a model.
So if a skilled modder would like to pick up the idea, I would like to see it in the game.
Thank you in advance.
The airplane was built from 1926 to 1933, Had 3 Curtiss-Wright radial engines or 3 P&W Wasp engines.
It was used in airlines from all across the globe and in some air forces as a military transport.
It could carry 11 passengers and 3 crew in real life.
It produced a maximum speed of 212 km/h
Here I found a link to the aircraft manual if someone is interested in it.
