+**Deleting Cache Files**
+This is recommended to do from windows explorer while terra incognita is not running, but you can also do this from map source -> clear cache.
+We don't have conclusive testing results if its a must to delete cache files regularly, but if you do not delete cache then terra incognita will move 10,000 files when such number is reached and you are about to start new download, this can cause huge slowdowns.
+If anyone wants to share their experiences with cache files please do.
+**OziExplorer as TIF**
+File -> Settings -> OziExplorer map (save): saving images as TIF makes it much quicker downloads, apparently as it does not spend time compressing the JPG its that much faster. But in the end part it slowed down, no idea why. **TIF IMAGES ARE HUGE, USE JPG INSTEAD.**
 **JPEG Quality**

 Use 1m / pixel or 100m zoom level to achieve good results for arma3 satellite texture scale.
-Unlike some other software *cough* universal maps downloader *cough* you wont get any problems with google banning your IP for 24hrs because you download too much. We have been downloading huge 75,000 resolution satellite images for days in row and no problems.

 QGIS layer -> add layers -> add raster layer, choose pcraster .map and select your terra incognita saved oziexplorer .map file. appears in QGIS main view OK.
+**ArcGIS** is world imagery and very good quality satellite texture source.
+ArcGIS zoom level 16 is 1.689036m/px and level 17 is 0.8445178m/px, unfortunately there is no nice round number of 1 or 2 meter per pixel scales in ArcGIS.
