This is probably old news for long time players, but new players will benefit from this.
1 game building unit = 1.64 feet or 19.68 inches.
So, if you have a fuselage piece 1x1x1, it is 1.64 feet to a side.
Despite there being square blocks in game, I rarely, if ever, use them.
I have found it useful when trying to build things to scale.
A calculator is also needed, unless you can do all that stuff in your head.
1 unit is half a meter for metric people
.
Also the
rise
andrun
functions is calculated off the distance between the each side of the block. So that means that 1 unit of rise means that it'll have 1 unit of vertical distance between the top right corner and bottom left corner, and vise versa@WarHawk95

Seriously, thanks for the info, but I bet there are more people here that work in Imperial than Metric and while I do like the idea of being able to work in Metric, I reckon running too many mods might put more strain on my ancient PC than it can handle.
I'm currently running a 1st Gen i5 750 CPU.
Lynnfield I think the codename is.
Kinda tells how old my system is. lol
Nice. This will be helpful in the future.
1 unit = 1 lego unit or one 2x2 studs.
@Mickk download the "metric conversion" mod
@WarHawk95 Yay for metric. Thanks.
More info I just worked out. In panel size edit mode, 1 'click' (the noise the game makes when it reshapes the panel/wing) = 1.2 feet.
Before the question is asked, I'm using imperial measurements because that is what the game uses.
I'm in Australia and we use the metric systems here.
I sometimes get confused working out sizes because of it. lol
1 block = 0.5 meter
0.25 increment (fuselages) = 12.5 cm
