#1: Crop Edit Map Smaller for Pearl Harbor dogfight Author: CapnKillemall, Location: Dallas, TXPosted: Sun Aug 12, 2007 1:36 pm ---- I have been reading about map size affecting lag and performance, etc in multiplayer servers.
I want to crop the Pacific Fighters Hawaii map down to just the island of Oahu or maybe just half of the island to mazimize performance for a Pearl Harbor dogfight. Blogs, hint at the possibility of cropping the map, but I can't figure out how to do it in Full Mission Builder or any other method.. Anyone got any ideas? Help would be appreciated. It's a great map now .. it just has too much lag.

To the best of my knowledge there is no facility to 'crop' maps in IL-2 as they're built into the code of the software, unfortunately.
If you use the full mission builder you may of noticed that there's a number of 'online' maps that are sometimes used by folk that require or want less flying area (for want of a better phrase) to reduce potential lag/performance issues.
I might add that it's been quite some time since i mucked about with mission buidling and things may of changed but i don't believe there's a solution other than to look at the online maps and maybe use one that replicates what you need for Pearl...
