    As said before I am not expert of exoplasim , but according to my studies on the climatics, although I am more focused on terrain like environment, what doesn't convince me are the deserts and dryeness of the coastlines on equator level, which in my opinion are wrong and would be mitigated always by moisture of the sea even if no precipitation, and if the winds are then it would extend more inland too and if there are no major mountain blockers penetrate even more deep, sure doesn't mean it would be a lush forest maybe but not a necessarly a sandy desert, may be more of a savannah.

    Somlia and Peru both have near-equatorial deserts, though if i'm understanding Peter here the koppen map shown here isn't taken from exoplasim

    due to height and anyway the Somalian desertis east oriented so doen't get the equatorial current straight into land.

    Peter, send me the error you're getting and you're topography map
    I do not say is more reliable , I meant its a too much effort making it work and extracting data that can still be questionable and subject to error so that in my opinion can be better and faster extrapolated by applying some climatology knowledge and logic .
    Of course if you mess with Alien planets with different pressure , gravity , air composition , solar radiance then its all about more of a mess and hardly can be done manually but , even modern computers struggle to make serious predictions on climates that are a complex dynamic system.
