Folks, I have now created 3 different versions of background map view mod.
1. Based on FLAT map data.
2. GLOBE projection map data, WITHOUT borders.
3. GLOBE projection map data, WITH borders.

The starting image with a resolution of 8192x8192 plus the mod, calibrated
roughly to SCS Vanilla map and containing map images with res. 4096x4096,
I have packed and sent to dOOmERdaZe. I will probably NOT do much more
now, so cross your fingers that he can do something useful of it all. You've seen
videos of the 2 first versions, but here's now the version YOU requested, the
one WITH borders.

Well, I said I calibrated the SCS Vanilla roughly! If you look at the British Islands,
they are a bit too far left and St.Petersburg is a tiny bit too far right, so I have
already scaled the damn background up a notch, so now it looks pretty good
here. But, as far as I see it, neither the FLAT nor the GLOBE approach will do
in the end. It will at least demand some image warping being done, I can assure
you! We'll see what dOOmERdaZe can do about it! :D
