I've been working on a new map that i will hopefully submit for use in SEA, but i was wondering is there a size limit like for MAs?
Can it be 512 miles big?

I hope there is no file size limit because this one is going to be ...

Keep it under 40 MB, and watch those poly counts and LODs if you want it accepted.

Croduh, I recommended this before and I will recommend it again. Build a working MA terrain before you attempt to make a SEA terrain.

Easycore, don't worry, i usually start working with 1024 textures and later resize them, so in the end the file size would be much smaller than 20 mbs, talk about 40 mbs;)

It will be fps wise, because cities are not large in that area.Nor will i add too much clutter.

Raptor, i have a few working ma terrains that are not submitted (well kinda working - no vspawns, sbs or such small things).

I have also made maps of this size and detail before, i pretty much know how stuff works( or at least i think so;) )

Typically TGs and custom airfields/v-bases/ports do not take up a lot of space.

If they have custom objects and textures they do...LOL (V/bases and Airfields that is)

Well, using objects available in the OE (Non-custom) will not do much to the file size of your terrain.

LOL yeah I know..but I'm thinking of a completely custom airfield,
