you'r an optimist, but you have a point

it is possible the towns we see on the recent oleg map are just the wrong size on the printed map, and that the actual town size "in the game" is the correct historical size.

somehow i doubt it !

even if all the buildings are not modeled, the urban sprawl will probably correspond to map sizes seen in the recent oleg preview maps (otherwise it would be hard to do VFR navigation by the game maps compared to the "in game" world we fly around in).

The in game maps can be placeholders for now. I dont think there are too large towns after seeing olegs huge passion for details and precission

Maybe the towns are right size, but the rest of the land is smaller? I mean if map is not 1:1 scale, then towns would be reduced too much in size to a point it doesn´t resemble the original town. Or if you keep the original town map in small scale you would have small toy houses.

I believe Oleg has confirmed that the map is 1:1 scale. It is the shape of the towns that is wrong - showing evidence of post war expansion. They haven't just been scaled up.
