World Background Maps

[bogdac]

I will still use the Promods maps.I would be silly not to because they are good maps, but I have lost all of the respect and affection that I once held for them.

Yes, there's nothing wrong with their map, apart from what's wrong with almost all maps,
but it's the attitude with some people.

Well, i dont see good things for the near or far future. And this is a problem for all mapers outside Promods. SCS will cover West Balkans, Iberia and practicly almost all Europe. I think even North DLC will receive a brother soon. SCS lives from DLC's so soon they will have to expand somewhere. Russia all the way to Moscow? Who knows? They have all they need to connect it.
So what's left for Promods? Because they can do this math by themselfs, you know?
Ex-Europe! Asian part of Turkey, Middle East, Africa, atleast the north part and so on. Island i think will escape for now. So, in the near future we will see again a divided fan base between same territories, and we all know the fanboys will always demand us to die because "promods has also built that area!".

@Arayas

You were right as usual! Case closed!

Already seen it, they still don't use the map projection specified by SCS!

[3rik]

yea but promods is a lot more similar to scs's bg then your one. alligning this with SCS's background would fix every pm allignment issue...

edit: im gonna have to side with promods on this one. notice how the scs background would allign perfectly with PMME. the only remaining issues would be the ones in the north.

@3rik

Did I say that SCS uses their own map projection? They don't need that as they are still in the
area where the differences are small! Promods is NOT in northern Scandinavia and in Middle-
East! No more comments on this!

@benganj
i think there should be more comments on this.
this should be aligned with the SCS map.
if there are still allignment issues after that, then its the map modders fault. but right now you cannot blame promods for basing their projection off SCS's map instead of off yours.

@3rik

I'm not blaming anyone, I just say that SCS has specified a map projection and I use it!
Read up on all my research on this and you might learn something on the way!

EDIT: I can admit that I have blamed Promods for covering up their map data outside
their own BG, by what Mandelsoft himself calls "cheating", that's all!
