Terrain Sizes bigger than 512x512... Are they absolutly necessary?

Blitz3D Forums/Blitz3D Programming/Terrain Sizes bigger than 512x512... Are they absolutly necessary?

That's what I was thinking too, But Im' currently designing a terrain editor and I've noticed that some of the other terrain editors have the option to the user to allow them to make terrains larger than 256x256. I also agree that a terrain of 256x256 seems to fit the bill pretty dam good! However though would you recommend that I make the same option available in my terrain editor to other users that may want a larger terrain size, And if so... What should be the maxium size I should set it at?

Thank's again guys for your replies on this as this will help me decide on what to put this at in the terrain editor!
