World Background Maps

Okay mate, I'll have a look at it later, but what I can see directly is that
you have that very odd problem where the game engine shouldn't scale
down the Promods UK and Iceland. Right now I don't know what causes
this, so give me some time, mate!

EDIT: After having read your info.sii file, I want to ask you the following.
1. Could you drop the AfroMap_1.9 all the way down to the bottom of
Mod Manager, and also, why aren't you using the latest AfroMap_2.0?
2. I've heard bad things about that Murmansk mod. Is it REALLY needed?

Test and report back, I'll be back too when I have found out something new.

EDIT2: An ODD solution to an ODD problem would be that you could
change my ETS2_LAMB_SAT_BG_MAP_BORDERS_BLACK_PM mod to
the ETS2_LAMB_SAT_BG_MAP_BORDERS_BLACK_STD one. On that
SAT BG UK is in correct scale! :D

Hi,

aehm.... Afromap is at version 2.0 ..maybe the promods ferry connection was dedicaded to 1.9 ?!

And i changed my loadorder to the same from my main profile and ... tadaa ! now Great Britain is aligned like it it is meant to be.. still with Afro on top...

If murmansk is really needed, i don´t know. i think it doesn´t really change the city itself.. only the area around it..

What i have changed is Volga a little higher and i changed some of the small roadconnections like the most boring road and so on like in my main profile... unfortunately i still can´t say who is the guilty one. therefore i must make a new profile and experiment with the loadoraders of my maps, but sorry, i am not really in the mood for it. If some one else has the problem with a miss alligned Great Britain, i have the following order startet from left to right at the bottom up to the top:




with that order it looks okay:

Great, you made it yourself! Pity though that we don't know why!
I'm pretty busy myself right now, so let's leave it like this for now!
Thanks for the report, mate! :D

After many, many attempts to create a SAT BG including coverage of Japan, Australia and New Zealand,
I have had to settle right now for a coverage like the following image shows. The present goal is to at
least include Japan. Hunting for bigger map crashes right now the tool I'm using.

Looking great! :D Nice to see Japan there! With some file editing, I’ve gotten Project Japan to work with the base map, but from this, I can see that Project Japan is not really properly placed

[BenganJ]

Yeah, you're that spoiled one! I'm working my ass off here to make Japan
included in the SAT BG, but I haven't got their map to test with. Just kidding,
as I don't need it, as you say, it will probably have to be moved a bit to fit! :D

[PerrydPelle]

It’s very easy for Project Japan to work with the base map, I’ll explain tomorrow

[BenganJ]

It's probably just a matter of renaming the map folder and some more,
but as I said, I have no use for it as it's not located where I want it. :D
Have you rotated it almost 90 degrees too in Map Editor?

[PerrydPelle]

No, I did not

[BenganJ]

Almost finished registering the EURASIA SAT BG! :D This one includes Japan and
reaches further down in Africa, below Madagascar!
