June 12, 200619 yr Hi allOne of the things which impresses me each time I fly in real life is the actual size of the aircraft and how small you are in comparison to real jets.Somehow that sense of scale is missing for me in FS.ie human:aircraft scale.Not complaining :) buthas anyone found ways to simulate this?ThanksJay

June 12, 200619 yr >That would do it!;)>Doesn't answer my question though!>>JayFor me, I get a sense of scale whenever I look at the aircraft in Tower view, and watch it taxiing around. An airliner really looks big. Especially if you view it next to, say, a Cessna, or an airport truck.Even a Yak-38 (small fighter jet) looks big when I view it this way.Rhett Rhett 7800X3D ♣ 96 GB G.Skill Flare ♣ Gigabyte 4090 ♣ Crucial P5 Plus 2TB
June 13, 200619 yr Author Commercial Member I think a lot has to do with our view point perspectives. We are usually looking down at the aircraft from various views rather than looking up as in real life.
