* '''Note 1:''' The map process can be much faster on some PC's using '''--headless''' option, which does not display the maps as they are being created. However, on other PC's, this causes an error, and the process will not run. Remove the '''--headless''' option if you get such an error.

You could condense this into a small batch file that can be repeatedly used. Write:
  cd c:\Program Files\Atlas\bin\win32
  map --size=512 --atlas=c:\Program Files\Atlas\data\Atlas --fg-scenery=c:\Program Files\FlightGear\data\Scenery --palette=c:\Program Files\Atlas\data\AtlasPalette --glutfonts
 
Then save it as a .bat or .cmd file to your computer. If your computer turns off the screen / hard drive after a set time and don't want to change this permanently, download caffeine. Search for caffeine for windows on Google and select the first link.
