You do realize to get into Oxford as an American, It's not what you know but who you know, right?
If you want to be a nuke, M.I.T or Embry Riddle have great quantum programs, and are worlds easier to get into than Oxford.
Anyways, I give a +1 to the new planes, but exhaust flames would have to be a side project I think because we don't have night in the MA. Also, it would probably have to be an optional graphics enhancement, because most people wouldn't be able to run it on their system.
