I've been giving my long term project another go over the holidays. The problem now is that Surveyor in TRS2004 seems to be either crashing to the desktop or freezing rather often. Never had this happen before
In order to locate and place objects, I've been using images captured in Google Earth to create guides. The guides are planes from 1 to 4 km covered with a texture. In order to see the details, the textures need to have enough pixels which result in rather large files sizes: 49 MB is not uncommon. (4096x4096) Could this be causing the problems? Would several smaller guides covering the same area cause fewer problems.
