Map & Vehicle IDF Limit
There has been a lot of Confusion on the amount of add-on Maps & Vehicles that we can use in our game folders at the same time.
This is to do with a combined space problem in Insane between the Maps and Vehicles they have a shared IDF Limit.
After downloading maps and vehicles and putting them in your game folders you might find that some of your other maps or / and vehicles have disappeared from your in-game lists. Or when you are selecting a map you find that you have a white area where the map should be then you will find that this means that you are over the Limit that you’re allowed,
Your next step will to remove either some of the downloaded maps or vehicles idf’ files that you don’t use Remember the removed files do not have to be deleted
You can just move them into another folder somewhere else on your drive so that you can swap and change them at any time.
TIP: I found the limit to be around 50 to 60 of each depending on the file size (see also IDF Commander for a solution to add even more addons regardless of the IDF limit!)
1 add-on vehicle = 2 or 3 maps depending on the file size
Important
I advise you to keep all the standard Map’s & Vehicles that was installed with Insane
( Their file names can be found in my IDF Lists under the Standards section )
The main reason for this is
If you remove Standard Maps it will effect your generated / random maps
If any of the standard maps (or the automap folder located in the maps folder) are missing
the game will not function properly when map’s are Generated or Randomized.
The names of the Vehicles & Maps don’t always correspond to the idf file name

Remember that if you have not completed the Championship mode then some of the Standard
Map’s & Vehicle’s will be locked so you will need to type the codes below to unlock them.
Or use the Saved Game file = Player00.chp on the right.
If you are trying to use downloaded maps or Vehicles in single player mode you will need
