Hi there!
On your blog you list the changes made to Promods version 2.45 and specifically in the part of
"The Northern Rescale" you say the following:
Another major technical adjustment that has finally been integrated is the northern rescale. Changes in
the map projection by SCS a few game versions ago had particularly large effects at high latitudes, leaving
cities in the far north (i.e. Russia, Finland and Norway) displaced to the south. This meant that the cities
had to be moved northwards and several roads had to be extended.
Can you tell me where I can find the map projection parameters, that you say SCS changed to earlier? I'd like
to be able to use them too, but can't find them anywhere. I searched this forum too. Thank you very much in
advance!

I wonder why SCS changed the map projections.
Maybe for the future?

I wonder who's projection is geographically accurate, if promod's, SCS's, or none. Talking about globe projection.

Some say, I'm addicted to ETS2. But then I say. No, it's ProMods, it's a way of life.
