Hi there.

There´re some news about the issue regarding the scale. At first, please keep in mind UK is mapped in a different scale than the rest of europe by default as well, so this shouldn´t prevent compatibility with Promods. It´s just a question of cooperation and decisions. And btw: 1:19 is quite not realistic. It´s just default scale of SCS, Promods, TSM or MHA. SimKA follows the comments here and made a poll, if SR should be rescaled or not:

He told frankly what a rescale (or better: cut back) means:
SR Team wrote:It turns out that for the further compatibility ProMods (adequate interface with Turkey), on the map just have to leave Yeisk, Krasnodar, Novorossiysk, Anapa, Temryuk, Rostov and Stavropol, as it is the only city that somehow accommodates himself scale of 1 to 19 and a standard substrate, and the distance between the them to fall slightly and removing any settlements. From Hadyzhensk, Tuapse, Sochi, Maikop and all regional settlements, all the settlements, as well as the Karachayevo-Cherkessia will have to be abandoned.
As a result, we obtain a map of 7 cities, but for a full support ProMods, but about all the forest roads and so, alas, will have to forget. (google translation)
He also let the community decite (a very fair and helpful gesture) by voting if to do so or not. Until now the vast majority has given a clear statement about this topic: no, do not do this!
I studied the comments (of course, only by google translation) a bit, it seems very clear: the russians do not want to see "Mother Russia" cut back just for getting a Promods addon between RusMap and Turkey. From my view this position is quite understandable.
So far it´s the current state about this topic. In my humble opinion, SR has very good and growing potential and the current scale should be kept since it make you feel the russian wideness. Of course, this map has still some errors and issues, but that´s the same with other maps as well. Also the southern area would have been gone with a rescale. What a waste of time and good work. So right now I enjoy to combine this map with Promods and Rusmap as long as I can.
Best regards
