I just wanted to say that I've been following this project since I first saw it this summer. It is an absolutely tremendous idea, Whiskey_Sierra_972, and I wish you all the best in your mission. This would be a HUGE benefit to the community, I believe, and one of the most important projects for the 'average Joe IL-2 player' since the various 3D improvements began years ago.
In the past I have added a handful of maps to my MA 5.3- but there are many others that I have either tried or dismissed just for the sake of having to add this and that or try to find a stray object somewhere. To have a plethora of great maps- and their corresponding required objects- together in a simplified, centralized system would be an extraordinary benefit to a LOT of folks, myself included. I hope that the talented map-makers have also seen the benefit of an organized 'map system' and have been supportive of your work.
Clearly this is a very large and time-consuming project- and I wanted to say a heartfelt 'thank you very much' for your efforts. I very much look forward to seeing what this looks like when you are finished- whenever that may be down the road. All the best!...Greg
