Questions about scale?

I have just purchased the RTS kit, finally and have just a quick question before I proceed with converting my models and etc for use with it.
In the RTS kit, is the scale still the same as in FPS? The reason I ask is because going through the demo, the world at least seemed much, much smaller.
Thoughts?

I think the scale change is only a property of the RTS SK's default mission, and not of the engine. You should be able to create a new mission/terrain with the normal 8 meter control points and have the noraml 2048 x 2048 world.

Yes, the world in the default mission that comes with the RTS SK is indeed smaller, if I understand things correctly. The terrain control points are set to be 5 meters apart, rather than the typical 8 meters apart. There are 256 control points so you get 1280 x 1280 meters of non-repeating landscape, instead of the normal 2048 x 2048 meters.I think the scale change is only a property of the RTS SK's default mission, and not of the engine.
