Units in Vehicle Simulator?

Postby saken » Wed Sep 22, 2010 8:21 pm

Say I want to create a spaceship for Vehicle Simulator. What units should I use in 3ds Max if I wanted it to be 1000 meters/1 kilometers? Should I set the display units to meters or kilometers then? Or should I just use the default Genetic Units?

The display units can be what ever you are comfortable with, the system units need to be set to 1 unit = 1 meter.
