Hi, is Earth curvature fully modeled in the game so shipbodys below horizon, rising up? Radar coverage limited to horizon....?

Yes, indeed.

really? Cool....in stock version or only with RA mod?

In all of it. I don't really think you could call yourself a simulation and not have the curvature of the earth. It just affects so many things. How they model it, I have no idea.

Yep, try that in Flight Sim..

You can cruise around the north pole all you want in DW's world. The only reason you can't surface at the pole is the ice thickness but you can find thinner ice less than 10 miles away. Your navigation will get a little wonky that far north but you can still get there.

Another thing to try is create a basic mission, set yourself near a border, then drive off the map. It works, you can do it. There are no end of the world walls to hit.
