I remember reading one of the dev diaries about making the new map and saying it's flat.
"...Maybe, just maybe my eyes are finally failing me, but the illusion of 'curvature' is apparent if you install Beery's extended height mod. Pull it back as far as you can and check the horizon... Its slightly curved. If not an actual globe therefore a nice little touch to say you were not allowed to zoom out so far originally...."
This is an illusion caused by the camera zoom technique, fog, haze, horizon depiction.
