So I make it with PaintNet as .tga, and then convert it with another software.
If you are interested, will show you tonight.

Yes i am. You're thinking about teamviewer ?

Holy cow. I knew the world map was distorted, but I had no idea it was to that extent

This is one of the major problem affect game realism.The further you go north or south the more east-west distance are strentched.This make almost the long distance travel time inaccurate by a huge factor.

One way the navy plot were made is too strentch both north-south and east-wast as you move towards earth poles.This way the bearings getween objects are reserved but the distances can not be directly measured.Like these ones:

The way SH3 simulate the enviroment compromise both.Neither distances nor bearings are accurate.This makes plotting in champain file really difficult to resemble actually historical time the place.

One way I overcome the issue is make a few "jumps" alone the waypoints the compensate the distance strenches,but this is not a very good solution.Still wondering if it is possible to resolve this by modification alone.
