Two tips:
1) NEVER make/save undergrowth changes at the same time as anything else. Save everything else first, and save it before you make any undergrowth changes. This is a huge source of crashing with the editor, even if you've got a lot of memory.
2) Save AND backup after every change you make i.e. you put in a ditch, save it, back it up, you put down some overgrowth, save it, back it up. I use a date/info system for my backups. Here's some examples:
08 07 09 san basics all done in very bottom fields ready for detail
30 06 09 san pre reduce ditch size
03 07 09 san pre mountain changes
Like most of us, I've had to learn the hard way too, often loosing hours and hours of work
This system has really helped me to minimise work loss.
I like the new sky btw, looks good, still some tweaking that could be done but you can do that towards the end. Map's looking great so far, keep it up! I can see some potential for Rhino's og field technique being used here too, which is cool
