That might well be the case!!

I believe that the game developers never went as far as to take the curvature of the earth into account when they made the map and the 3d world environment. They basically just took the world map and made it flat.

Great job on what you are doing so far! The time end effort is impressive. I once tried to make workable depth maps by sounding the Deutsche Bucht and the Channel by using real naval charts from te Kriegsmarine to compare these with the in-game depths but that was such a massive undertaking I quit doing it. But you do inspire me with your work.

Best wishes,

There is a thread on the forum by a map collector who made several original maps available online for download:
