@MG Mike

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:

@MG Mike

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

Yeah, you're that spoiled one! :lol: 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

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

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?

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