I would like to suggest being able to run SD PC from a memory stick. Means you can just take the stick to the airfield and plug into their PC. This wd be especially useful abroad when internet connection is not easy (or if easy, such as via tethering your mobile, its very expensive and slow).

Any thoughts?

I can't see us implementing a solution with the complexity required such that some data is looked for on the card/stick and some is looked for on the machine, sorry.

Terrain data files are indeed compressed when they are downloaded, then unpacked before being saved to the hard drive. Portable devices don't have the power to uncompress the files in a timely manner or the memory to load them into RAM, so they stay on disk and need to be uncompressed.
