Top View Scale

I am sure there are others that have a hard time finding teeny weensy topview ships on the 2D map when maneuvering.
My last solution?
Take a coaster of say 50 by 7 meters and simply put a 1 in front of the measurements, which will give you a bigger berth aka the: "Blue Parking Spot"...
Then you can upscale the topview from 50x7 pixels to 150 by 17
without losing the original measurements.
this change doesn't seem to affect anything else in the game
and makes the darn thing visible.
It also allows for a little bit more detail in the top view.

Hmm, i think 0,91 is only for the sideviews!
For the topviews its 0,61, they are bigger then the sideviews.

I always thought it was 0.91 for both, no that it matters much for the side view.
I guess one could go into the top view files and compare the pixels to
the xml file measurements.
That should settle it Cool
