Oh dear, you don't really like to read, do you. The reason it looks like that is due to the map projection
used and specified by SCS. It is a conical projection called Lambert Conic Conformal and projects the
globe on a cone that cuts through it at 2 so called parallels. All this info is documented in this thread
for you to read, there is even links in the first post to more info. What Vinnie says is a way to get the
feeling of turning a globe instead of just moving a flat surface. Why not test it some time?

I probably don't read the entire post since I don't have the patience to do it. Thanks for that explanation. I'll try giving this a test.

I have posted a video about all the different types of background maps. I hope this will be helpful to people. Just make sure to turn on the captions. Enjoy!

Sorry mate, it's a nice idea, but delete ALL the direct links to my BGs in the video description.
As soon as I update any or all of the BGs, I will receive millions of e-mail due to the links not
working anymore and do it fast. ALWAYS link to the ORIGINAL download site and people can get
the latest versions WITHOUT problems!

@BenganJ

I remember a while ago you talked about a universal background map for ATS. Are you currently working on it? How is the progress on it so far?

@therobloxians1119

A Universal one is already in place in first post. The image you show is the upcoming
Ultimate BGs for ATS, just like the Ultimate ones for ETS2. I'm still working on it, so
keep your fingers crossed!
