Hello.
I understand your rant, or at least I think I do. Do you feel SF is dying from lack of new content? If I understood you correctly, you propose to pay some money to 3d modders, so they get an incentive to their work, BUT, that means the payer will direct the modder work telling him what plane to do. Is that the plan?
I think modders here are really scarce, and to make them work on a mod thay are not interested will need a good amount of money, far from one player can reunite, at least far from my wallet capability. Of course this is my opinion and I can be totally wrong.
Regarding TK and the source code, If he needs 5 to 10.000 $ to build a model how many money he will need for the source code? And If we get it, who knows what to do with it?
Sorry If I sound negative, but I feel SF is a DEAD game in the development part of it. We can get new planes, ships or objects, but thats it. It's done.
