But I might start a company to start 1st-person radio-control dogfights. If it doesn't already exist. You can take a model ww2 fighter via remote control, using a wireless camera and a pc to change it to 1st person mode. Then you mount paintball guns on the planes with frozen paintballs so they will do real damage. At first I was thinking BB or air soft guns, but they wouldn't be able to shoot anything down.
nice idea but how do you keep up with the repair costs?

By not getting shot down, of course.

If you don't want to repair your model ww2 fighter, win the battle! And don't get hit.

But now on second thought, with 150 million pounds which is something like 250 million us dollars, I would actually just start air combat for real as a sport. I know there are people that go through the motions of it, but they don't actually shoot each other. No need for model airplanes, cameras and computers, I'll use real airplanes, and the only difference will be the canopies will use modern armor so the pilot will only be killed if they fail to bail out when they're shot down.

Just another extreme sport, but if some countries ban it, I'll buy an uninhabited Pacific Island and have the competitions there, and sell the rights to pay-per-view.

Have you ever read The Most Dangerous Game? I think maybe a situation like that is in order for your island, but with planes.

In reality, if I had that much money, the last thing I would be doing is trying to get some game published. But as long as we're dreaming, sure I guess I could toss a few bucks at 1C and see what they would do.
