deleting items from the static.ini will only cause problems...they data for each item is still loaded....the static.ini is just a list

I have not tried it since I am not really working upon maps nowadays...but I think my suggestion to have a seperate install of il2 with only the necessary stuff to be the answer
...no need for effects mods...planes.....maps which are not being worked upon.... a really trim setup
