The Realistic Size

73.2k hopotumon  7.4 years ago

This is a clue how to build a plane with Realistic size. 2 units on Simpleplanes are 3,3 ft. So 1 unit on Simpleplanes is 1,65 ft or 49,5 cm. This is a simple mathematics.

    @GenrichTitov ok when he saw the size of the aircraft information visible size in units of feet. then when divided into 1 feet = 30 we get the size of 49.5 cm. may force more accurate in the xml.

    @ChiChiWerx It is true. The first thing to assess is the size of the machine used. while the fuselage length and wingspan maybe it was an easy task.

    Good thing to point out, but I don't think the actual scale is the problem here, the conversion is easy for anyone who's considered making a 1:1 replica. The bigger issue is the size of certain stock parts, especially the engines. Most of the larger engines (BFE150, large piston engine) have a diameter of 2 units, which makes them 3.3 ft wide. For the F-15 or other modern fighters, this is way too small. In order to make a realistic build, you either have to scale up the engines first or build using the correct proportions, then scale up using Fine Tuner.

    Also, in XML all positions are set in meters
