this one that was downloaded from a CAD page and converted to .skp has a more proportional greenland:spain ratio in globe representation (1.6:1 instead real 4:1) than the other gall peters globes i uploaded which i did with spirix_textured_sphere.rbz plugin and nasa's gall-peters maps.
when i create a globe with the UTM ("universal" transverse mercator) with the plugin, the scale between greenland and spain is almost correct 3.8:1 (4:1 real) and the same goes from africa:greenland ratio with 13.2:1 (14:1 real) however it still fail
on the other hand gall peters besides using elliptical distorted shape has a considerable disproportion in globe (30:1 ratio africa:greenland instead real 14:1) however in flat map keeps proportions while UTM not
