devs or some modders ? that does not matter
i think you won't be surprised if AVIA will keep their maps (Ethiopia, Afghanistan, Azerbaijan, Alabama, Corsica etc.) private for all "eternity" - what is 5-6 contractual years imho
and after that?
who knows?
i don't think many people would want to pay ($ 500-1000 per piece) for those maps
you know, if the flight model of Bf-109K has cost about 120K USD, then those maps cost about 500K+ USD
an average 3d modeller salary 20-30 USD/hour, a good DCS modeller/map maker salary is 2-3 times higher imho, because of the deeper and/or wider knowledge
yes, something like that
