@Shiriru94

Right, total dislocated stuff I won't adjust for. My Promods BG has been adjusted for the bad choosen scale
of Iceland made by Promods, but that's all. The Adriatic coastal line and other dislocations I won't do. In all
my BGs, I try to do a BEST FIT of many different maps, created at different times, with different BGs, if any!

It will be damn fun to see what they will do when other maps than JRR map will surface,
New Zealand, Australia, Malaysia, Taiwan, Korea, South Africa, as they already have a
problem with following Red Sea map down the eastern coast of Africa!

It looks like we now also have a high quality extended background map for ATS as well!

@therobloxians1119

"high quality extended background map for ATS", laughing my ass off! Where's the satellite version?
I made that coverage and style years ago! I wonder if it got the correct map projection, doubtful.

@BenganJ

Well, I just subscribed to that steam workshop mod right now. Let me try using it with the map combo I have in ATS and see how the background looks. I'll report back soon.

@BenganJ

Suit yourself! I'll see how it looks anyway.

EDIT: I just tried using this background map. It looks great but there's no zoom. I think I'll stick to your colored background map!
