Creating scenarios with Maps from PC1

Hi all,
I tried the feature to import Maps from Panzer Corps 1 into the scenario editor to port and recreate those maps in the new PC2. The map was imported in PC2 without any error and all the tiles seem to be correct. Well done you Devs
BUT: Whatever map I tried each and every was rotated clockwise by 90° in the editor!! It's File.Import and choosing a map xxxx.pzscn in one of the old PC folders. But then it's imported automatically without any means to customize the map.
Question: Did someone stumble about the same problem and could please the Devs acknowledge that the tool is wad and tell me what I've done wrong ....
Thanks to the Devs for a brilliant game.
Nils

Yes, the PzC 1 scenarios can be easily imported into the PzC 2 editor. It is not an error, the maps are rotated; i think it has something to do a difference in the hexes between both versions and 2D to 3D if i am not mistaken.
The conversion is only the terrain and unit placement, not triggers, individual unit settings, objectives,... though.

Maybe it's only me, but I'm not very fond of playing a lopsided map. If I load a big map of Germany I don't want to have the Ruhr in the North, Hamburg in the East and the Polish border in the South .... Could please one of the Devs have a look at this scenario import feature?

In Panzercorps 2 the hexes run perpendicular to those in Panzercorps 1 as this better for isometric type displays.

This is an old post, I know, but has anything been done (can anything be done?) about the orientation of imported maps? Like others, a 90 degree turn is too disconcerting for me. The imported maps look great but...

sadly not. i started redoing maps. first import them, then open 2 editors and correct the orientation by hand. takes time, but as off now the only way.
