@Pazdi

And in what way doesn't it work? I want to know which versions of the maps you use,
so the only way you can get help is to describe the problem and POST your latest game
log.

BTW, I recommend you run EAA as a standalone map instead, it looks so awful to see the
whole of South America in the water of the Atlantic Ocean!

@Pazdi

No, how could there be, as at the EAA place there's ONLY the ANTLANTIC OCEAN.
Run EAA as a STANDALONE map and then use my satellite BG, which you can find
here in the STANDALONE part of the first post in this topic! Load order you'll find

Just asked DOWL what about New Zealand and Australia... His answer in Steam Workshop (source: https://steamcommunity.com/workshop/fil ... 5673486943):
Australia and New Zealand won't be added to this BG as they're not in Afroeurasia and they are outside the 'usable' area of the projection, in the southern hemisphere distances are greatly distorted. New Zealand would be impossible anyway since it isn't in the greatest possible extent of the map projection: https://trello-attachments.s3.amazonaws ... 5/huge.png
Do they use an other projection method than you so you can projecz New Zealand and PM not?
Maps: PM+ME 2.56, Red Sea 1.3.1, Greenland 0.20, Balkans 5.1, MedExp 1.3, Malta 1.0, MKR 1.4.2, RM 2.4.2 + SZM 2.4.2 - SibirMap 2.1.2, TGS 2.0 + Aral 2.0 - SR 10.5, Volga 1.2, RoEx 3.1 + AzGe, Caucasus 1.0a, SE-Isl. 1.10, Asia 1.1, Rhodes 1.0

@Pazdi: Nope, that map background is working correctly. The creators of the EAA map put it there on purpose. Its actually supposed to be a standalone map, not an addon to Europe (Since the EAA Map is South America). Now do what BenganJ said and download the background map for EAA as a standalone map.

So, I had a break from ETS2 for a while, I wass sure I wouldn't play it again until SCS refurbished eastern europe..that was until I tried the latest Roextended which pulled me back in :D
The question is: With Roex 3.1 and PM 2.56 + ME I find Iceland and Faroe Islands in the ocean when using the "Ultimate SCS style background mod v1.2.", is this just as it is, or have I done something wrong, load order is roughly:
1. Background map
2. Roex RC's
3. Roex
4. Promods ME
5. Promods

Just a FYI: I can live with missalignement, just want to know if I have done something wrong ?

As Bengan has told us many times, there are no plans to improve it. This is because the position of Iceland and Faroe Island, which he has indicated, is correct.

@clear F1: I didn't ask for an "improvement" , I asked if it was normal or if I had my load order wrong..
