Well, I can't explain why there's such a difference in size between SCS Vanilla UK
and Promods UK. As I said earlier the map parameters are in /def/climate.sii for
some odd reason and I can see that Promods alter a couple of those parameters,
but if I reset them to default SCS values, I can't see any difference. Any input on
this is welcome! The info from gmtavares in this post didn't explain it for me.

EDIT: Well, some more research and I get really sad! Promods team has changed
parameters related to background image display on many levels. Why am I not
surprised? :roll: They have changed in map_data.sii, which should be overwritten
by any zoom mod above, and also /def/climate.sii as I've mentioned before. What
I can't confirm right now is if they have included their own BG images too, but that
I wouldn't be surprised of! Anyone knows anything about this?

EDIT2: After even more research this is what I can show you. YES, Promods has it's
own BG images, and together with own map parameters, it probably explain the big
difference between SCS UK and Promods UK! Here's the two BG images for comparison.

EDIT3: I've now done some experiments and might give it a try to make a satellite
backgound for Promods that fits a lot better than what you've seen from me before.
It will take some time, but as always, you'll be informed here! :D

Here's an intermediate report regarding the effort to get this working for Promods,
before I now go to sleep. Good Night Folks! :D

[Tapir]

Good night Bengan,

BTW: UK is looking good now. :D :D

[ExtremorPL]

Very nice! :D Like I said before, only small improvements and everything should be fine!

That is one awesome looking background, props to you!
The black borders look great even on the green terrain. :D

Wow! so nearly there now mate :D :D :D

Folks, is this something you could accept! NOTE, it is ONLY for Promods combos WITHOUT
Middle East Addon, as far as I know now. There might have to be a special mod for that
combo as well! There might also be some more finetuning regarding the positioning and
scaling of the background, but no more change, I hope, of the images themselves! As usual
COMMENTS PLEASE!
