We checked several ways, the ATAG server map is life size 1 : 1.
EDIT: More info. Here's a test I did Jan 23rd on the server which bears it out (from the ATAG Forum):
Re: Map Scale
OK, here's what I got:
I changed the route slightly to give me better landmarks to aim at: the tip of the "English point" (near Dungeness) to the tip of the "French point" (near Wissant). The in-game map tools shows it to be exactly 26 miles point-to-point, which is in agreement, IMHO, with the 25 mile distance you provided for the slightly different start/stop points you selected via google maps.
Holding 200 mph at approx 500 feet altitude, my time was 7:25, my calculator says it should've been 7:48. Pretty darn close considering the slight course corrections, plus trim and boost corrections. For those interested, I took a Rotol with 100% fuel (can't be too stingy on gas here), boost was mainly 0 lbs, rpms set to 2500, radiator half closed.
Other than a little bit of flak near Wissant, no one bothered me in this otherwise "hot" combat zone with 13 109's and a 110 swanning about. LOL
I think I can tell Ribbs the map is 1:1 as far as our travel time based on cockpit instruments is concerned.
