===The Cursor===
If you click on the ground you will place the cursor (Aircraft/ufo/Models/cursor.ac). The cursor is a 3D cross. The size of the cursor is 10 x 10 x 10 m. Each of the 6 arms is 5 meters long. The blue stripes mark 1m, each of the white and red stripes is 10cm long.
===ground material and elevation===
If you hold Ctrl + Alt while clicking on the ground, a pop-up box appears that shows the material and elevation at that location.
