World Background Maps

Hi Arayas, thanks for the reply! :D i will try to investigate on it then.

I personally create my background maps with original data from google using QGIS and google maps (either customized from google maps styler or just google satellite like I did for my latest ProjectJapan Background Map).

It always depends on what projection you are creating the content (like SCS used some Lambert Conformal Conic projection, while ProjectJapan uses flat mercator like) so that QGIS can be used to change the projection and it will load the data onto it. Then you can export it in different ways, I personally work tile by tile (Worlds Combined for example was scale 1:5000000 with 120 dpi for 16K texture while Japan was I think 1:1000000 with 145 dpi for 16K) putting the graphics of each tile next to like a mosaic in paint.net.

in QGIS you can use many different sources aside google, OSM, Naver, Yandex and many many many ... more

For some adjustments (like the Worlds Combined) of course it was more than that, but you know. You could also use G Projection by NASA, but to be honest: I tried it and was not so satisfied by it.

Hello Together,
I would like to ask if someone knows how or what needs to be edited to use the BG map in convoy and to still see your friends on the map.

Good day everyone! :) my name's Diego, DC for the ETS2 community. I'm part of the FSG map team, which is building the 1:1 scale project FSG map, which will contains France, Swiss, Germany roads in a 1:1 scale. Project is very challenging, but we are working hard on this. I'm writing here because i've read with very interest this thread, and i would like to do something similar for our map, giving to players a Google Earth "lookalike" UI map, which helps people to understand better where they drive.
One little question for the start: is there a tutorial somewhere in this thread/forum which give me a hint how to build it? Or just kept private (which is fine anyway)? i would like to give at the community a very nice touch with this beautiful UI backgrounds.
Thank you in advance,
have a nice sunday everyone!

Hello, can i know what projection that you use to make the background map editor for FSG 1:1 scale? LCC or Mercator(google map projection)? If you give the information, i will try to make the ui bg map for you.

this is my bg ui map for indonesia scale 1:1

on the ultimate satelite background map icelands road map does not appear over iceland but instead in the middle of the ocean as of 1.44 for me at least is any one else having this problem?

Hello everyone. Can you kindly tell me, which background should I use for the Promods + EAA Mapa combo, among those available on the front page?
Thank you very much, sorry for my English and my confusion.

What (zoom)parameters do I need to adjust to make Bengan's ATS_LAMB_NAM_CAM_SAT_BG_v1.4 work with Pacific Map?

I use Vinnie Terranova´s Fullscreeen mod.
(Put this above Bengan´s map mod)

Edit: thought you mean Caribic map.
