This is all very exciting, but what timescale are we talking about ?
This reminds me a lot of orbiter, the only other professional grade freeware simulation, available on the net.
And it took 7 years of programming and refinement (one man coded the kernel of the simulation, physics, audio, graphics) plus tens and tens of third party developers, artists went ahead with add-ons ranging from realistic historical add-ons to purely sicence fiction add-ons.
And even now, orbiter has a lot of idiosyncrasies which make it only able to run in windows platform.
