SH3 features a map plus the terrain of the whole world.

My question is can you cirucumnavigate the SH3 world!:hmm:

I believe it has been done by a few intrepid souls. I think it can be done now in the long-range boats without the infinite fuel cheat, via the judicious use of milch cows and/or refueling ships, as GWX 2.1 bumped up all sub ranges to compensate for the distorted Mercator projection.

maybe the game doesn't know about the Earth is a sphere.. So maybe you will see a wall when you reach the border of your navigation map on SH3, or maybe not...

just try! check illimited fuel and ahead flank!

I tried this once on SH2.
I went all the way to the eastern edge of the map and waited and my boat disappeared from the map, so I was waiting to come out on the western edge, but suddently I had a CTD and have no idea why.
:hmm: But know that you mentioned it
I'll try it on SH3
