Just for info
In the big map iceland is a little displaced. If that's a known issue forget it. Just wanted to report if it bothers you.
I took a look at the .dds files but I know too little about how it works.

@Alpenwolf

Yes it's a known fact and is due to the fact that Promods depends on displaying UK and Ireland
in the 1:15 scale while I and SCS wants it to be displayed in 1:19 scale, just as all the rest of
maps!

@Dee85

How about here, in the FIRST post, where all the other background mods are too?
viewtopic.php?p=422#p422

There you scroll down to the following OBVIOUS section!
ATS:
And there you'll find as FIRST entry this text, CLEARLY describing that this is the one you want!
=====> Universal Satellite background mod v1.3.
=====> Map image projection is Lambert Conic Conformal.
=====> Zoom is built-in, so don't use any zoom mod!
=====> The BG is enlarged to include full North and Central America! Also, Canadian provinces,
=====> US states and Mexican states are all included on the background too.
A PIECE OF CAKE! MERRY CHRISTMAS!

I have been using the ETS2_LAMB_UNIV_EURASIA_COLOR_BG_MAP for the past game versions (I was still on 1.38), but don't see it anymore on the first post.

Was it discontinued? =(

@flep

Yes, it was replaced with the Ultimate BGs you'll find at the top of the first post.
They have a larger coverage than the Universal ones, including FULL Indonesia,
Australia and New Zeeland!

@BenganJ

Yeah, I see they are bigger now, which is great btw!
Was just wondering if there was still a "COLOR" version as I liked it, made easier to see the countries border. Sad.

Anyway, no biggie, thanks for replying!
