Indeed. Although I was hoping to see units on variables for altitude, velocity. (Maybe that's documented elsewhere?)

In terms of scale, there is the concept of the tile size, which is set to 0x01000000, and everything uses the same coordinate units, so it’s possible to extrapolate this to give some sense of scale.

You can see the configuration variables here:

I’ll probably add more scaling information as I do the deep dives.

And now I post that I see that I have failed to link to this file from the left nav, which won’t have helped! So I’ll sort that out…
