@Oczkobil

That BG is correct in all ways, Promods is the cause of that, so PLEASE.
use the special Promods adjusted BG instead.

Vince from Terramaps told me this for Australasia Map: it will fit on all of Bengan's world background maps!

@BenganJ

A question about your ultimate background map. Have you ever tried to make it look straight? On the right side of Kazakhstan on the background, everything is tilted. Is there a way to fix that or do we just have to keep it like that?

You could use Map Aligment: Always North.

@therobloxians1119

Oh dear, you don't really like to read, do you. The reason it looks like that is due to the map projection
used and specified by SCS. It is a conical projection called Lambert Conic Conformal and projects the
globe on a cone that cuts through it at 2 so called parallels. All this info is documented in this thread
for you to read, there is even links in the first post to more info. What Vinnie says is a way to get the
feeling of turning a globe instead of just moving a flat surface. Why not test it some time?

@BenganJ

I probably don't read the entire post since I don't have the patience to do it. Thanks for that explanation. I'll try giving this a test.

I have posted a video about all the different types of background maps. I hope this will be helpful to people. Just make sure to turn on the captions. Enjoy!
