Many valid points there. A full size map even if it is playable would be forced to limit what sections get populated to have any hope of being completed. The basic texture overlays for, rail, city, and roadway maps could be done in a reasonable amount of time though.
If a single large map is feasible, it could be kept in a central file server and checked out by different people to work on it as they had time.
Personally I want to see a single large map, even if it is not populated with objects, for when I fly just to familiarize myself with terrain (aka Flight Simming)
I am open to suggestions and thoughts on these things as well though, I just thought I would try this to start with. I still have a lot to learn, and until you get into texturing your map and placing objects recreating work from scratch is pretty quick.
