Okay guys so this is a lot more simple than the math stated above. You can calculate EXACT map size based on resolution size.
When you import a map or even make a map using the landscape tools it starts everything at X 100 Y 100 Z 100 and then offsets the landscape by half the size of the landscape(usually, sometimes the whole landscape) If you’re not sure if its the whole landscape add any object to the scene and position it at X 0 Y 0 Z 0 and if its right on the edge of the landscape, then the entire landscape is offset which then its easy and you just look at the X and Y position to figure out how large the landscape is.
Other than that, here is a simple breakdown that calculates the map size
Landscape Scaling = Resolution * 100 @ 100%. (Example: 8129 * 100 = 812900 @ 100%)
812900 uu = 812900 cm = 8129 Meters = 8.129 Kilometers @ 100%
X= 100% Y = 100% @ 8129 Resolution - Landscape Size is X = 812900 Y = 812900
Z = 512 @ 100%
Z = 2048, Then Z must be 400%
Z = 512 * 4 = 2048
Z * 4 = 400%
So a Landscape with resolution at 8129 and a height of 2048 will be
Final result in uu is
Everything is in Centimeters, so to have everything converted into Kilomters or Meters you need to do a little math.
1 Meter is 100 Centimeters
So 812900 Centimeters(uu) = 8129 Meters
8129 Meters = 8.129 Kilometers.
Simple.
As said in here, if I want a 15Km (9.32 miles) map, I make a Greyscale 15,000 pixels squere map in Photoshop? or whats the size of the document I should do in order to make a map of that size (15 Mk)?
Sorry to bring up this OLD post, just wanted to be sure.
