The dev time for the global map is likely resource management, and assets. There's already plugins in the interwebz that allow interfacing Google Earth Pro with DCS, though in early stages, a lot of things still didn't work 100% last time I checked on it, Photogrammetry of a lot of things being one of them. Once the Globe is done, wouldnt be surprised if the HQ Area's are put overtop of them, however, for things like historical maps (ww2, korea etc), keeping them separate would likely work better, you don't wanna fly a mission over Europe then magically pass through a barrier into modern Europe. Kind of a dumb question, but wouldn't that entail licensing as well as the technical hurdles? Big birds tend to be a little pricey, and I'd expect the people who put those up will want a slice for using the data they provide. 2
