sirgzu Posted June 10, 2015 Share Posted June 10, 2015 Base radar shouldn't have a circular shape on the map, rather it should follow the same map projection function that is applied to the world map (presumably Mercator). For example it should be possible to cover most of North-America, Siberia and Northern Europe from a single base in Greenland. Airplanes and UFOs should also travel "faster" on the map when at higher latitudes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drages Posted June 10, 2015 Share Posted June 10, 2015 You are looking very realistic. More then it should be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Posted June 10, 2015 Share Posted June 10, 2015 The set-up in the game isn't realistic but it is far more understandable and visually pleasing to the average gamer than the correct mercator projection would be. The radar range circles in particular would look ridiculous once you started getting towards the poles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The end of the discussion was that there are far more people who don't care then there are who do. ...and the only reasonable and playable version that will not provoke complains from realistic-fans or smooth-gameplay-fans would be to have a real globe map like in the original game. This was discussed before too. Reason why it is not in here was engine limitations and amount of work, afaik. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Must have looked for it wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are others but these seem to be the main ones that I remember. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
