Possible useful info for those who are building to scale.

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 and run 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

    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

    1 unit = 1 lego unit or one 2x2 studs.

    @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
