You'll need to provide a little more information.

I think you'd be better off modding IL-2 than FS2O.

Saw the whole thing in my head as I was falling asleep last night and posted impetuously. I realize that if the war had gone on for a couple of more months the  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Horten_Ho_229 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Horten_Ho_229) and her sister bomber would have won the world, but in an alternate timeline, the Allies could have kept up, given early enough intel. Both sides through their jet fighters would have jockeyed for the high ground('46-'47), coming to realize that Earth orbit was the goal. Rudimentary tracking satellites would have been launched to track V2 launches(now atomic - the heavy water experiments have born fruit), and they would have needed to be defended. The Germans were working on a rail system for orbital launch, the Allies would have had to match or answer it. Pushing the realm of the plausible I know but never underestimate the tenacity (or lethality) of the human mind. Anyway, just a thought.

Anyone can have an idea.

... Was there actually going to be something related to FreeSpace (modding) or is this just an idea about a world war in 1948?

I think the latter.

Ideas are a dime a dozen.
Make it a reality with your own two hands.

It's been thought of already:

This focuses on Japan though, not Germany.
