@id777

You are so wrong my friend, I don't hate Promods at all, on the contrary, I have the map
in one of my combos, but Promods development has done three mistakes, keeping the
UK area in the wrong scale, display wise in the game, and the relocation of Northern
Scandinavia was in the wrong direction plus now relocating Middle-East and Cyprus in
the wrong direction. I use the SCS specified map projection when creating my BGs and
what I can see is that I have a little to high scale factor in the horizontal direction, but
that happened when registering the BG towards the SCS map content. That will be the
ONLY adjustment I will make, nothing will be done to the Promods way of relocation.
I can also tell you, that in many areas of Promods map, I think they have done a VERY
good job, it looks tremendously gorgeous.

EDIT: Unless Promods can give me their map projection parameters to work with, then
I might do a special version.

First of all, Roextended and YKSRSK has NOTHING to do with your shifting problem and both are where are suposed to be. From all the maps you numerated above + Roextended + YKSRSK, Promods is the only one who is not in the right place.
Bengan has his own choosing rights, i told him i will support any decision and even the poll was my ideea. He tried to reason with your idols, but he talked in vain.
The fact you want "special treatment" to corect the mistakes of your GODS, on this forum, is convinced me even more about your faulty character i have seen the past 2 years, trashing my map but getting WET when Promods maded you 2 cities in Ukraine.
You are barking in wrong forum dude, and sience we dont have any common interest, i will help you to stay in the right one.

You can always read the whole story, as I have linked to all valid info on the subject!
No thank you Bengt, your abridged version. Was plenty of information for me. :rofl:

I agree with my best friend Bengan.
I have been using their maps for many years. I still recognize it as a great map, but he looked arrogant when he barked at the commenters.
It seems that the attitude of the Promods forum is often incorrect.

@paokkerkir

SCS aren't working far away from the center yet, so the distortion
from the map projection isn't big, therefore I think they just use
an old World View BG! It is still working for their map data!

EDIT: And mind you, Mandelsoft has added his "cheated" BG to it
on free hand!

I agree with all of SaMartok's (NL) remarks.
I'm disappointed with ScuL's answer.

I'm playing games for the first time without Promods.
Don't let me hate you!
