I use 96, HTC uses 72 by default.

It won't matter.

Four templates marked with 25 mile sector lines are provided in the ../HTC/aheditor/terrains/maps directory.  Determine which terrain size will accommodate your design, make a copy of that bitmap template, and give it the name you have chosen for your terrain.  Throughout this help file, we’ll use “myterr” as the terrain name.
from the help file.... but nope can't find them

bad install?


also if i "maxmize" the editor while working on a map the terrain goes all black.
