World Background Maps

@BenganJ
Thank you for your hard work.
In my combo map, Europe is perfect. I am also moved to see Japan behind the earth! However, the EAA road has collapsed. Many straight roads are scattered in the horizontal direction.

You are right, clear F1, i ´ve seen it also in EAA. But I can live with it. ;)

@clear F1 or @Tapir

That was odd! Can you show me by posting an image here with that chaos on?

@bogdac & @clear F1

I heard during the night, that the relocation of Japan from the standalone version
to the addon version is done to 1/3. :D

Here you can have a look:

Another one:

@Tapir

Thank you, I'll have a look at it! :D

You are always welcome, my friend ;)

I can, in the midst of the EAA chaos, report that I posted on the Promods forum this:

@Scul

If I force the inbuilt re-scale of UK area, the whole of Promods UK and Ireland will fit nicely to the SCS original
Map View background image and to reality, if compared to Google Maps. The only odd things left is the Faroe
Islands and Iceland, which is located totally wrong. Would it be that hard to just tick in Map Editor the flag that
makes the game engine re-scale the UK area and then also move Faroe Islands and Iceland to it's correct location?
They are both islands without connection to other areas roadwise, so the move ought to be quite easy to do.

and got an answer promptly like this from penguinaz, developer of parts of Promods:

That's something I am thinking of doing.
However our bug tracker is based on coordinates so moving Iceland could cause annoyances unless all bugs are fixed first

It would probably not be done tomorrow, but at least it's on their list! :D

Now I noticed Bengan comment and became late. Thank you for your image.
I am in the same state.

@clear F1 & @Tapir

I've seen that phenomena earlier on one of dOOmERdaZe's EAA BG's.
We'll see what I can come up with to fix it! Thank you guys. :D

@clear F1 & @Tapir and all others

I think I know why you get that phenomena! As you can see, that line in the second
picture is aligned to the very south of UK, just a tiny bit south of Plymouth. It is one
limit for SCS's in-built scaling of the UK area. I'll do some tests and will be back! :D

Thank you for your never-ending work. There is no hurry.
