When you see through the periscope you are not seeing a real world's ship, but a 3D model so, to be accurate, I prefer to measure the model I'm seeing.
If you open the Cimmaron GR2 file in the program "Granny Viewer" and activate the Measure Axes, you can see that the length of the ship model is "19.110605m".
In the "File List" tab below, you can see that the original file of developers was "NOL_T03.max" and was modeled with 3D Studio MAX 10 (3Ds 8) with system units of 0.1 units/meter.
So, I understand that the model length in the sim's (SH5) world is 191.106 meters.
My fighting with 3DS max and downloaded plugins is because I have version 2010 of 3DS max, but the plugins only work with v.8, so I will need to build a new plugin or modify and recompile the existing one. In the while, Granny Viewer may be a shortcut.
What do yo think about it?
(again, sorry for my insufficient English)
