Map Builder Tool

Hello,
So in BoK, 3rd party mods will start to be implemented, ok, that's a nice feature.
Now, what about the map builder tool?
As we know from experience with il2-46 and it's "basic" map builder, the map building is one hell of a task.
Addig the fact that BoX use another way of creating maps, much precise but also much time consuming, a map, even a small one (150/150km) will take several months to complete,
more than a year, even for a "crew" of dedicated people.
The lack of maps is one big factor in BoX series, so why don't open the possibility for people to create maps, using like an "official" map builder tool, even if limited to a small area (like 50/50 for example) .
This way people will be able to learn how to use it, and if the quality is up to Box standards, and the area is linked with BoX actual theatres (or even future) the map-builder-guy could receive the acces to the "unlimited" tool, allowing to create much larger maps.
There are people here that comes from il2-46 that created very good quality maps, that also really do like to do it. Those people could deliver quality work, free of charge for 1cgs, it's like a win-win situation (in my opinion at least).
Don't know the cost of implementing such a tool in the actual game, so don't know if it's really doable, but if yes, savings in man-hours could be done at 1cgs, guys could concentrate more on the engine-devloppement or planes creation (for example or whatever is needed).

So what do you think of it?
