Modelers dont model the "engine structure" other than the polygons, all the programming for that is done by others, including internals etc. Also modeling the engine is the easiest of the bunch because its not actually visible in game so it can be low polygon count/quality.

So I believe he said there are many people involved in modeling planes, not just 1. A year is absurd.
I love that they are informing us on whats up, unfortunetly its probably bs.

I guess u missed the post by the guy who worked with MS amongst others stating that a year would not be unusual. MS spent a fair few months on one ac with no DM (huge chunk of the work), working weapons etc.
