Are airports in IF the same size virtually as those in real life?

1

Hello,

So, weird question. I watch a lot of travel videos, and one video blogger was traveling by plane. They mentioned they traveled through Charlette (CLT…I had to look it up to be fair). It was mentioned that when the plane left the jetway, it was taxing to the runway for 30 minutes, before arriving at the runway itself. Are the maps and airports in IF drawn to scale in the same size virtually (like in the case of CLT’s airport size) where you are traveling for as long of a time through the airport, or are they more condensed? It seemed like an interesting question to ask, since so much development and realism goes into this virtual environment. I can almost work out the answer, but I play in other virtual world environments which can be equally huge so I didn’t want to make an assumption. :slightly_smiling_face:

Yes, all the airport layouts are drawn using real-world satellite image as reference, so they should be in the same size.
