Good points, although I think the second point would reduce the quality.
To be sure that the FGmap is not the culprit, you can also try deleting and
then generate a fresh FGmap then set the fgmap file to read only in the OS.

- Have you tried changing your textures to .map files?
- Maybe you could render a low res version to generate the FGmap, then turn off
rebuild FGmap for the high res renders.
- Also batch rendering the scenes rather than doing it in the interface can
help.
- Then there is the bsp tuning. Try the bsp tuner off XSInet and see if it
helps.

Subject: Large FG image rendering problem

I am trying to render images in the 6000x6000 pixel and up range. I'm getting
memory issues around 5kx5k so I started rendering subregions and tiling them
together. The problem is, once I put them together, there is a subtle but
noticeable color shift at the seams. I'm assuming it's due to a FGmap issue. I
've tried "append", and "generate" on the FGmap usage. Does anyone know how to
work around this, or another way to render huge FG images?

Thanks.
