Your model is in the middle east and your typical model co-ordinates are (800 000, 2 600 000). In other words, your model is 800 km east of the origin and 2,600 km north of the origin.  NoiseMap will only allow you to have 7FF by 7FF (Expressed in Hexadecimal) tiles in a model, ie 2048 by 2048 tiles, expressed in decimal. Since the tiles are 500 m square by default, your furthest point can only be 1024 by 1024 km from the origin.

Your scheme, whilst large, only covers about 50 km by 50 km, so can easily be accommodated in NoiseMap.
All you need to do when creating the scheme is to set the origin to, say, (700 000, 2 500 000) and your problem will go away. Note that you cannot have negative co-ordinates (you cannot go west or south of the origin) so don't put the origin in the middle of your scheme, but well to the south and west of the scheme.

PS If you do need a larger model, you could set the tile size to something larger, say 1000 m in the 'remote server' version only. This can have other downsides, so only do it if you must.
