Default Size of planes?

Whats are the pixel size of planes? Like how many pixels tall (don't really care about wide).

I should search shouldn't I.....

This is mainly for coop maps for making passageways.

I was curious about similar information, and I recall testing plane maneuverability, but I don't really recall the results. This test doesn't quite give the granularity your asking about, as all but whale fit into the third (?). I was wanting to know what planes could get through, pass through after a long time, safely turn and quickly navigate with relative safety.

The zip at media fire has the level, png for pixel measurement, and the Sketchup used for it. I'd send the export script I'm using for Sketchup to png, but it isn't complete yet.

That is AWESOME dude. I was debating making something similar to this, but was too lazy .

The funny thing is, your test map looks better than a lot of other maps

Its a cheap trick to make it look like that, and I fear those familiar with photoshop see this trick being as bad as lens flares >D

Probably just setting the layer style to be a pattern image.

Blending options are super easy mode. (The first article is 100% better because it says "Altitude" in it.) It is cheap. It is a trick. Many people can spot it and to them the quality of the image may be shot in their eyes. It's like lens flares minus ten percent "really, your using lens flares?"

Incidentally, importing an image of an explodet from the altitude press kit into your image editor can give you an accurate representation of how big an explodet would be on your map, relative to map objects.
