Empty Geoscape (i.e. desolate planet)

[Grimandevil]

I understand that xenonauts was meant to mimic the old UFO(or x-com), and is doing a fairly good job in it. But something really bothers me - empty globe. It almost looks like except for few 'nauts planes and ufos, humanity ceased to exist. We get occasional messages of shot down aircrafts or bombed warships, but never see them on globe, thus unable to defend or cooperate with them.

Plus it would be more likely, that other world military forces would actually try to fight the alien crafts. After all, at the beginning, Xenonauts division have almost standard (slightly modified) aircrafts and weaponry. Its almost hilarious, how u try fighting planet-wide alien threat with a handful of crafts and others dont even bother to help (well, funding, yeah..) rather than being shot to pieces.

Back in the days, there probably were too much limits for such performance, but not in 2015.

Maybe it is something to consider for Xenonauts2.

Also, maybe there is a mod for that?

There isn't a mod which can expand the game to the scope you desire. Nor is there the facility for doing so without re-coding the main .exe.
