I got a large Plate from FC.... and I use it in various forms on my Thailand map... to represent Angkor wat and the old city at Toungoo in Burma ...and also as airstrips which are 300m.x 1500m. size

I can make it any size...but the size in kb. for each plate probably depends on the tga file used

if we make a plate for a straight section of river....say about 3 pixels wide by a km. long we could paint the river on that only half a pixel wide by doubling it in size before painting...and then halving it after...but to be effective would require the remaining area to be invisible or an alpha channel....doing that bumps up the size and means in needs to be saved as 32 bit

thoughts anyone??
