Very nice! :D Finally SCS rescaled UK to 1:19 scale, maybe they are preparing for a new DLC/rebuild after Germany? :o Finally no f*** up with UK and background map mods!

[BenganJ]

Well, I don't know, that's why I'm asking! It looks to me in the videos,
as if they have done a re-scale, but does anyone know the status really?

No Rescale happened.

ProMods just shifted their background map a bit in relation to the SCS parameters. That's why you have the shift.

SCS wouldn't rebuild the UK in 1:19 without improving it AND letting us know.

If you use the SCS parameters, everything will line up.

If you use ProMods parameters for the ProMods version, it will lign up with ProMods.

That being saic, both SCS and ProMods UK are 1:15.

[ExtremorPL]

So they rescaled background map to 1:19

Thanks for that info, as I said here earlier, I have never heard of SCS
having done any re-scaling of UK, BUT there's a big differens in SIZE
between Promods version and SCS's version, NOT SHIFTING! Check out
the videos. What you say is that using original Promods values will also
give different scaling compared to SCS's values, correct? If that's the
case we will have to have different mods for the satellite background,
won't we?

[gmtavares]

The only thing that happens is, that the UI map projects is smaller in the SCS version, but this change in projection is hard-coded since they added the always facing north, etc. If PM was to enable it, the whole of Iceland would be off.
Furthermore, ProMods shifted as well because of fitting in the middle east and northern Norway correctly.

That being said, I do believe it means there is the need for 2 versions of the background map.

Okay, that's what I suspected and actually hate, but sort of nothing we can do
to remedy! Thanks again for taking time to inform!
