General Question Orbiter Scale

[edsupagood]

I was wondering what scale units are in Orbiter. If I was to set up the units in 3ds Max, what values should I use to mach Orbiter scale.

Meters. It's all in the documentation.

orbiter uses meters... but you should note that 3dsMax works best with "generic" units, as those directly correspond to meters when you export to .msh :thumbup:


metric system FTW!

So just leave default unit settings?

Meters are the SI unit for measuring distances, like seconds are the SI units for measuring time.

So it makes sense.

Anim&tor uses meters too, so it is quite convenient for that.
