The distance between two meridiens, in the game is constant while in reality it is latitude depended. For example the distance between two meridiens differing one degree longitude is 111 km in the equator and 0 at the poles. In the game meridiens are parallel lines of constant distance.
So what's the problem?
Wrong distances. Longer travel times. Fuel issues.
I think there is a mod that compensates the map/distance problem by "adding" fuel.
@Steamwake. You've really accepted Ubisoft's world view, haven't you!:rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:
