Dont forget guys that this map was really pushing it.

Most of the big maps like Hawaii and Wake which are really big only have really small map files for the land areas that they cover, and the rest of the map is simply auto-tiled with water, who's parameters are defined in the load.ini.

This map is truely 825.6x601.6km, and there is no auto-tiling for extra water. This map is huge, if you compare with New Guinea, the total size of the necessary files to run the map is 60mb, and this one is around 265mb. I dont know how much of that gets loaded in your RAM, but all you can say is that in terms of file size its 4 times as big as the biggest of the Oleg maps. So I guess that a performance hit is to be expected on lower end machines.

So far with my machine, everything is smooth, although I have run into the occasional FMB crash while I was building it, I just figured it was the map tools which were unstable.

In the few test missions I have run with this map, things ran fairly smoothly, I didnt encounter any problems with moving waypoints.

But we will work together to make this map happen.
