Where is the link to download ATS satellite for North and Central America mod? I can't find the right mod for that. Can someone post me the right mod link please?

@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!

@flep

Nope, sorry about the COLOR version! The guy who used my SCS style version and colored it,
didn't have time when the Ultimate BGs was released.

Would like to start by saying a big THANK YOU to all the developers and mappers around here. The community is really what makes the game.

A quick query/feedback: Wondering if it's possible to adjust the zoom levels or colours of the background maps. The job market map is far too zoomed out.
