No, that wouldn't help.

The problem isn't "what's in the image", but what's the overall size of the image. Just having a couple of lines drawn would still produce a huge memory file size at the size the 3000 yard 1600x image is drawn. I forget what the pixel width transferred into inches would be, but it's more related to feet in picture size than inches. It's just a huge "honking" image!!

The bearing tool image is that particular size to provide an accurate measurement when compared to the nav map ruler. At 1600x screen resolution the bearing tool has to be large to be correctly measured. Cutting down the images overall size will help, but changing the content within the image won't.

As far as your "order" of mod activation is concerned, I don't see a problem. Maybe, the 3000 yard bearing tool should be activated last, but other than that your order should be fine.

I'm still leaning towards the lack of system resources being used properly with a system on the edge of being too average to render the images correctly.
