I was wondering... would it be possible to convert the OTTD graphics engine into the railroads graphics engine? I was just wondering, as I wouldn't do it because I think it would be copyright infringement... But it already has town buildings and has the over all look of open TTD, with industries and trains and such. You would probably have to model roads, trucks, buses, airports, and airplanes, but It might be possible.. What do you think?

I mean this engine: http://www.2kgames.com/railroads/railroads.html

But that engine is copyrighted so I don't know if anyone could do this (due to copyrights)... I have no idea if I could get anywhere trying to do this my self if we could use the graphics angine....

I don't know which railroads graphics engine you refer to, but I assume you're talking of some kind of 3D stuff.

Yes, it probably is possible. It certainly is also possible to 'only' draw new models / graphics for ALL vehicles. But it'd be a gross deviation from the TTD style which many people like in particular. But... go right ahead you might want to look at Ogre which is a HUGE dependency, though.
