Rick Fortens, are you are able to change this dimension, or you just relocated the land?
What happen then with navigation map, you must also rework it, because if navigation map is not equal to the terrain....
Another thing that I can think of is climate zones file, you must rework it, to not be that the game draw some desert over East USA coast for example.

No, I’m not able to change this dimension; I think it’s impossible. Yes, I just relocate the land. But, I have already reworked the navigation map because I have reworked the terrain. The both maps are the same : It’s one and only map (and for me, by the way, it’s a big problem: it should’nt be). I have already re-introduced the north sea in the nav map AND in the terrain and navigate It. It’s working. For the moment I’ve just done the North sea, as a test, and because it takes a lot of time.

But, of course, coordinates system remains the same. Kiel, for instance, is no longer at the same coordinates. The north sea is no longer named "AN" in the Kriegsmarin planquadrat system. In fact, only the town of Greenwich remains at the 0 longitude.

But the distances are now correct. There are about 800 km between Oslo and Helsinki and no longer 1700.

As you make me remarked, I forgot the climat zone, but I think it’s fixable also.

Here’s my new Wilhelmshaven bay terrain in the nav map in the game :

Thanks for the answer.
