What earth are you talking about?

Actually, the diameter is about 41.8 except that's not in km but in millions of feet or about 12,000 km.

As for the original post, and just repeating really, yeah, we sim sub captains sail on Planet Cylinder, one reason (apart from the save/load issue) the sunrise and sunset times for a given coordinate are messy. As a result of this peculiar planetary design, the longitude lines are parallell in every Euclidian sense of the word and the distances get wacky when you go north or south of Equator..

I would be VERY interested in having a look at work done to make a curved world surface, if only for the North Atlantic, and, one can dream, the arctic ocean.

Have you been able to see my screenshots ?

For the artic ocean, I can’t be of any help, but if you are interested in my works, no problem : just tell me what you want to know or see about.

I mean, that if Kriegsmarine grids are not correct, it is not interesting anymore for me.

I think that Photoshop open it, but I don't use Photoshop.
So I make it with PaintNet as .tga, and then convert it with another software.
If you are interested, will show you tonight.

I don't know. Because I made complete new one, have not examined in detail the original file. Well, I saw some shades that are not indexed in Terrain.cfg, but it's just a pixels here and there, in such a places that I will not go to the Machu Picchu cornfields to see what happen there.

Ha! That's what I get for typing before awaking. The correct word was not "diameter of about 40,000km " but "circumference of about 40,000km."
