Hello CA! I thought i would share this little tidbit I stumbled across late at night (couldnt sleep haha) If you have a terrain lets say for example Desert4 if you extract the Desert.cat files and place all the files in the desert4 folder (being careful not overwrite any of the custom files in the desert4 folder) and then slash out the .cat file statement in the terrain.ini file this can DRASTICALLY reduce load times and potential crashes. I believe this is due to the fact that the game engine doesn't have to unpack the compressed CAT file to find the missing pieces stored within it. Ive tried this with multiple terrains all the to same great effect (CubaOTC and Iran-Iraq etc) The second thing ive discovered is that the File name callouts in the terrain.ini folder for example NationsFile=DESERT4_NATIONS.INI etc ARE in fact CASE SENSITIVE now using Windows 10, this wasn't the case before using Windows 8.1 and this has helped avoid issues with nations and flying CAS missions in seemingly random areas of terrains haha. If any of this is old info I apologize but this has kinda been a light bulb moment for me and has alleviated a lot of frustrating issues.
