About this mod
Topo Map changes the background of the game's world map into a relief map. Mountains and valleys are shaded, and seas, lakes and rivers are drawn in, so you can see at a glance where a route crosses the Alps or follows a coast. The roads and cities on top stay the same.
The relief is built from open height data (Viewfinder Panoramas) and OpenStreetMap contours with OpenTopoMap tools, all credited by the author. It covers the original SCS map only, so it doesn't line up with ProMods or other map mods.
The author lists 1.58, 1.59, 1.60 and 1.61. It needs about 300 MB of extra texture memory, which can slow down low-end PCs.
Features
- Shaded terrain relief on the world map
- Seas, lakes and rivers drawn in
- Optional mod for Convoy sessions
