It's completely possible, and I think the community needs to start taking stuff like this seriously, the game engine is by far the best flight sim I've ever seen, for one good reason: It's the only flight sim I've ever seen that feels like you're there, I don't know if it's the lighting, hi res ground textures, clouds, or what, but for some reason, it's the best one I know of.
Anyhow, this would probably take months for the average modder, the reason people laugh is because you would also need other modern aircraft to go with it, modern ships, modern scenery, modern weapons etc. Another way to look at it is this: When the devs first started making IL-2, they needed other aircraft to go with the first plane, WWII ships, WWII scenery, WWII weapons, etc. Anyhow, if anyone does actually pick up a modern request for once, and gets it to work, then whoever does that should expect a whole lot of "HOLY CRAP!" statements. Haha, now THAT'S an accomplishment that should drop some jaws, I'm assuming people would come to respect the serious skills...
And you thought the SR-71 was fast...
Hehe... Space shuttle... :mrgreen:
