That is correct, unless you use -force_mods in the startup options line.

As a developer myself, I fully understand that no one wants to release any program before it's ready. To do so would jeopardize the reparation of the development team. COVID-19 has set back every team's estimated release dates quite a bit. COVID-19 barely affects us negatively, some of us had even ...

Yes, that's correct.

OK, so to get a clear picture of the discussion, I've decided to check out this so called universal background in detail. To make a fair comparison, instead of picking our background map, I pick the background map we based ours upon: the default SCS background map. I've underlayed the universal back...

So you have fixed your background then. So what is the actual problem remaining then?

I mean, it's probably easier for you to fix/botch the background so it fits our map than for use to break up and re-assemble our own map...

Have you even read anything in our posts? We say why rescaling Iceland is practically not an option either...

The "road_look.sii" entries are procedurally generated. It's a legacy system that was quit inflexible when it comes to road markings, and that's why it is abandoned for the new system that's based upon models, or "road templates". So it's basically an old system vs a new system.

You act as if rescaling Iceland would be something trivial. But it's far from that. The easiest part is to move the island to a correct position. Just renumbering all sectors involved should do the trick for the initial move. But that's where the problems start... You'll have to drag Iceland apart. ...

... but what I have a hard time accepting is, that you instead of doing changes to the map data, you tamper with the BG. Much easier, but not the best way, that's my opinion! (...) I think you can do better than "cheat", make it right instead! ... You are correct that this is the easier w...
