When MSTS was rather new a 3rd party program called DEMEX was released for the purpose of projecting DEM data into tiles of any route. It used the Goode-Homosoline projection, as did the game. In much later release there was an option to not use the G-H projection and instead use... something else. I did that on one very short route that I continue to build and experimentally did the same on a couple other investigation routes. On the later I found substantial relocations of terrain from one tile to another, sometimes several tiles away. I have no idea if there is any metadata anywhere to indicate that G-H is not being used, nor do I have any idea how many other routes, if any, are the same as what I described here.
