uhm.. why would you think that doing this on Kickstarter would need balls?!!
and I wasn't talking about you all, I was talking about those of you willing to try something. the rest of you, just stay in your couches and enjoy your life
besides, this not something as fantastic as you are implying it to be. maybe you've noticed that I wasn't talking about hiring someone to do us a whole game from the scratch. we don't have enough numbers to gather enough money for that.
but we might be enough, and gather enough, to persuade some developer already having a combat flight game engine to add a real simulation part/mod to their game.
as you said, it's actually all about the money.. if we can gather enough (and that doesn't mean millions, a few hundreds of thousands would be enough), we might even ask for a big pink flying pig, and they'll still do it
