SimpleWarships Scale Comparison: A realistically-scaled destroyer hull compared to the USS Tiny ingame

This demonstration is nothing more than an example of just what kind of scaling you will expect to deal with in SimpleWarships. I actually never planned to take this photo, as I was just testing some new stability edits to the buoyancy code(since ships used to not be stable enough to hold an even keel at speed), but I figured I might as well.

I always knew that SimplePlanes had a much smaller scale than reality, but this puts it in perspective. I sailed a 100-110m destroyer hull(similar to the length of a typical WW2 Fletcher-class destroyer, perhaps a tad shorter) built using SimpleWarships parts right up alongside the stock USS Tiny south-southwest of the South Runway. This should also make anyone who feels bad about not being able to land on the USS Tiny feel a little bit better about themselves.

    @JMicah4 its looking like it will no longer be a mod for this game but rather its own separate game entirely. I cannot say anything else right now.

    @arcues Lol not rip, work actually restarted on SW early this morning to put in some new systems, and tests have been promising so far. Not dead yet!

    @HellFireKoder Yeah, I noticed that. Its really irritating. Also, because the devs added the ability to move parts with MMB, trying to spin the camera while having a part highlighted has a 25% chance of moving it.

    @XVIindustries I made a mod for that, Limitless Editor, although it may cause spinning the camera while editing values if you use 0.6 (because I don't have a proper, reliable way to tell if the mouse is on GUI), it allows you to zoom out as far as you need.

    @UnstableOrbit have you edited the zoom in the builder? Cause if not I don't see how you would be able to eisily build something Bismarck size without getting extremely annoyed, then again, it's nice to see the progress you've made :) and I really like the look of your mod,
