In a side view it looks like this:

All FS ships are 100% to scale to each other. The 747 is as close as I could get it (should be within 1%)

That plane looks too small, remembering that (from the fs1 intro cutscene) the cockpits, at least the apollo ones, were quite large. I would say that jet is about 30-50% smaller then it should be. Humans take up only about 60% of the apollo cockpit from what i've seen,
Fun while it lasted.

Then bitter.

The cruiser is about half the size of a cruise ship.
[22:29] <sigtau> Hello, #hard-light?  I'm trying to tell a girl she looks really good for someone who doesn't exercise.  How do I word that non-offensively?

The 747 is 70.6 meters long... the Fenris is 253 meters long

The Fenris should be roughly 3.5X the length of the 747

Looks okay to me

The 747 is 70.6 meters long... the Fenris is 253 meters long

The 747 should be roughly 1/3 the length of the Fenris

Looks okay to me

looking at the very smal cabin of the plane compared to the fighter cockpits, it seems a little small

Any way to do the same FS fighters / bombers and compare them with modern fighters / bombers?  (For the sake of comparing cockpit sizes.)

YA..the problem is not in FS warships - the problem is that the fighters are too big or have cokcpits that are too large.

Actually, the cockpits for everything but the Athena look pretty close to me.

Look at the fighter cockpits compared to that of the 747.
