Is the distance in game to scale to real life?

I.e. is a mile in the game shorter or longer than in real life?

    @Lahoski107 The islands are a little close together for realistic airliner flights. You just finish climbing out to 10000, and then it's time to start descending for the ILS to Yeager.

    @PlaneFlightX Thank you, I was just curious about such because, when flying at 500 mph, the distance between made it seem like the mile was super short.

    Unit is in metric, so 1 meter in-game is one meter irl.

    For example, the latitude and longitude display numbers. These numbers are the number of meters you are from 0,0.

    The same idea applies to any other measurements, such as altitude, speed, etc. (Altitude and speed are in imperial, I think).

    Yes, the distance in-game is to scale in real life.
