@3rik

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!

[3rik]

well you may have made a mistake but unless that post is lying, you arent using SCS projection.

red map is SCS
gray map is yours.
there are clear differences.

@3rik

As I said, read up on what I have researched, then we can discuss. End of our discussion, mate!

i know what you have researched, but i also see an image infront of me that shows that your map dosen't follow scs's map.
we can all agree that the standard for map projection should be SCS's map. not promods, not you, not anyone else.
