-32767 to 32767

How do we know which # represent which flight characteristic?

Do you have some 3D diagram we can view how each variation look like?

There are no definitive answers out there for this question.  This is not documented.

Looking at different kinds of aircraft types may give you a clue about general things however.  Look at helicopters, the Concorde, light aircraft, and jets as a contrast.  Find a Microsoft example near to your model and use that frame number.

It is believed that this aircraft frame type dictates among other things how airspeed corrections are handled.

Nope - not unless you go to the site Milton gave you.

This parameter is one of the undocumented parameters, so there is no "official update"  on this.

There must be other application to that.  Have you heard of aircraft-generator, you give them the dimension and they write the airfile back to you?
