Yes I know, it's in the pipeline, but you guys keep so busy!

For Promods users, someone seems to have created a map projection that is correct.
The file structure isn't setup in the same way as the ones you have created though as it isn't working as expected with sinagrit's GPS mods but is otherwise perfect.

EDIT, found the directory of the steam mod and copied the colours from Sinagrit's map_data.sii into the mod and works.

No, that map projection is definitely NOT correct. It is made from a vector based
original and tampered with to hide all the dislocations different teams has made
through the years! BUT, what you see in the first post in this topic are BGs made
exactly from the SCS specification of the Lambert Conic Conformal map projection
used in ETS2 and ATS!

EDIT: Yes, Sinagrit supports a lot of BGs, but with my Ultimate BGs the risk of
ruining something is not possible!

@BenganJ

Yeah, I understand it's not "correct", and i do love your satellite BGs. I would rather have a map that doesn't have the UK, Iceland and PMME in the ocean though, at the end of the day its just another option :)

@BlazingCreeperx

No problem by me, it's totally your choice. But later when maps like South Africa,
New Zealand and the one already released, the JRR map Indonesian map, that
BG you found on Steam will not suit you well.

I've tried the Promods created background from Steam, and while it has relocated Iceland/Middle East, you cannot see Greenland with it, and this will cause issues with the other further away maps as Bengan says.

Yeah, i know. It says in the description that it's for promods based eurasia combo's and that's exactly what I and others may want

Im always crashing when I go to the closest zoom in maps. Does anyone know how to fix this?

@lesterpats

Which background map do you use? Are you running a BIG combo map?
