Arguably too far beyond the practicality scale to be a worthwhile implementation for the majority of maps in the game, save for the Solomons and similarly ginourmous maps. Even then - unless your're flying up in the "direct-to" business jet flight levels of FL380 and higher - the visual difference would be negligible. Also, the way the game models visibility would have to be rebuilt. Not really worth the trouble.

Also, "more or less round"...? Lol.

The south pole is more or less cold...
