| + | Terra Incognita crashes if you try to use two of them at the same time, it happens when they move the cache directory. So unlike global mapper, you cannot run two instances of terra incognita at the same time. | ||

| When you save large satellite texture in oziexplorer format, Terra Incognita automatically splits it up to smaller .MAP tile files. You can open these .map files with [[arma3:terrain:qgis-real-world-data|QGIS]] or [[arma3:terrain:real-world-data-global-mapper|Global Mapper]]. | When you save large satellite texture in oziexplorer format, Terra Incognita automatically splits it up to smaller .MAP tile files.

| - | There are many image sources to choose from but google maps seems to be the best. | + | There are many image sources to choose from but ArcGIS World Imagery is clearly the best. |
| - | Use 1m / pixel or 100m zoom level to achieve good results for arma3 satellite texture scale. | + | Use maps.google 100m zoom level (1m / pixel) or ArcGIS 17 (1m / pixel) zoom level to achieve good results for arma3 satellite texture scale. Note: ArcGIS zoom levels are actually 0.8m/px for 17 and 1.6m/px for 16, but when exporting satellite with global mapper you can choose the exact resolution for terrain builder use. |
| 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 150,000 resolution satellite images for days in row and no problems. | 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.

| + | Very rarely (and I do mean //very//) you get error dialog of: Exception Download: Unable to read data from the transport connection: The connection was closed. | ||
| + | |||
| + | Which then offers retry and cancel options. | ||
| + | |||
| + | If you hit retry you'll get new dialog of some generic C# (I think) error of "System.IO.IOException: <same error as above>" + few other function exception errors. There is OK button and clicking that allows you to resume the download. | ||
