I hope you realise what you are actually doing here, in that making a mod and making a whole new sim from the ground up are like the difference between a sardine and a sperm whale. Financial issues spring to mind first, what game engine will you use? Creating a new engine is not an endeavour achievable through merely wanting it enough. If you use an existing engine, be prepared to sell your own Grandmother to pay for it.
As much as I admire your vision, UBI have made 5 sub sims and let's be honest, they didn't get any of them right and they are a major player in the game development industry. I'm not mocking you (although some definitely will), but I think you should really go away and do some serious homework on the level of expertise, financial backing, and talent to deliver everything you detail in your post. In the flight sim community I've seen people attempt the same thing and after 5-6 years of random, sporadic updates, those titles are still in development with no release date and a plethora of problems to deal with.
Like I said, I admire your vision, but forgive me for being skeptical.

You have all the right to be skeptical but you definably not read my thread carefully my friend i am in the business since the 3ds max version on DOS.
I have been teaching game design for 5 years my friend programmer have 12 years of experience in C++ and like i say the game engine that i mention in the thread you obviously didn't read at all say Unity 3D the full license is about 1500,00 gran so you are a cheap fellow saying my grand mother worth only 1500 gran hummm you should be affraid of her she is reputed to haunt mockers
If you have said that like 2 or 3 years ago i would have agree a 100 % with you but thing are evolving fast in the game industry and now it is possible.
And since i am experienced in the field i am not foolish enough to think it would be release this summer hum!
And i already mention in the thread that our decision is not taking yet another proof you are a selective reader.
We have already people interested who are experience in the field but like i say we are only gathering opinions from expert players to form our idea on the road to take.
Best regards Hans
