Is there a way i can make the map size bigger?

This this video might contain some info about it, if not, quote me and I'll respond.

Check out this thread if you haven't already: http://forum.mxsimulator.com/viewtopic.php?f=11&t=1134

Some of it is out of date, "texturelist" for example, but still a lot of good basic info.

You can change the size of your terrain with the terrain.hf file. This is from the above thread, with some edits to be more up to date:

eg.

'resolution' specifies the size of the terrain.png and shading.ppm you are using. The formula is 2^(n+1)+1. So 2^(10+1)+1=2049, hence standard tracks use 2049x2049 pixel terrains.

'scale' is in feet/pixel, so standard tracks are 1 feet/pixel.

The higher your scale, the larger your terrain will be, horizontally. The larger your maxaltitude, the higher your terrain will be, vertically.

is it at all possible to get 4096x4096 and upwards?

4097x4097, 8193x8193, yes. However due to the x4 , x16 or more of terrain data, it's very possible it'll lag. If you want a really big map, going for 2049x2049 and chaning the ft/px would be a better alternative I'd say.

4097 and 8193 didn't mark an end of what's possible, just felt meaningless to continue.

Just out of curiosity, would you just change the first value in the terrain.hf file to 11 to get 4097x4097? Or would it be a different value?

No it'd be 11, 12 for 8k
