Recently I made the decision to upgrade to windows 10, why I don't know. I had tile proxy working in windows 7 just fine.

I tried to install it in windows 10 and followed this thread even though I don't have the Steam Edition of FSX

But it did not work. much to my dismay. any Ideas would be greatly appreciated. I know someones gonna say "go back to windows 7" 

• 1) Create a cache folder (better on another HDD or SSD) (me : D:\TileProxy\)
• 2) Install TP : Destination folder by default (shoul be the "steam\common\ ...")
• 3) When asking for "cache" an "photoreal" : type your folder in 1) (D:\TileProxy\)
• 4) Set the others options as you like
• 5) Windows 10 will show an error for the unsigned driver
• 6)  Run "Digital Signature Enforcement Overrider" (dseo13b.exe)
• 7) Select "Sign a system file" an next
• 8) Search for "tileproxy.sys" or paste "C:\Windows\System32\drivers\tileproxy.sys"
• 9) Reboot and do again 2) 3) 4) : no more signature error
• 10) Disable superfetch services (Windows key and R : "services.msc")

Now there is a problem with Windows UAC  : Usually to disable UAC you have to slide down the security in user account interface but there is another UAC hidden in Windows 10. For TP to work you have to edit the registry and disable LUA (0).

By doing this a lot of Windows 10 features as mail, market, internet explorer (edge) will not work anymore. You have to set back LUA to default (1) for using these features. So you have to switch between LUA Off and LUA On depends of what you would like to do.

I create a .REG registry key for do it faster (view link at the bottom)

• 11) To do this "manually" you have to lauch Regedit (Windows key and R : regedit) and go to this tree : [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System]right click on "EnableLUA" and set the value to 0 (set it to 1 if you want to enable it back)
• 12) In the "ProxyUser.ini" you have have to search for "cache_folder" and set your folder created in 1) (i have one set : view link at the bottom)
• 13) Now the great surprise is that your FSX SE does not work anymore (FSX has stopped working) , it is because of the SimConnect.MSI provided by TP is an old version. In Steam, right click on FSX / Properties and browse in tabs to find a "Verify Files Integrity" (Or something like this, mine is in french)
• OR
• You can install it manually by lauching SimConnect.MSI from this folder : H:\Steam\steamapps\common\FSX\SDK\Core Utilities Kit\SimConnect SDK\LegacyInterfaces\FSX-XPACK.

I followed both to the letter (though I'm starting to doubt this!!) and am getting the error that I have seen reported that is normally associated with driver signing ie:

proxyUser: Volume listing failed with error: 0x80070005
proxyUser: making sure SuperFetch service is not running...
proxyUser: Connecting to the filter
proxyUser: ERROR connecting to filter port: 0x80070002

To summarize:

• I've done the digital driver signing with dseo13b.exe, running it as administrator
• I've done the file permissions as instructed.
• I accepted all the defaults for the installation
• I replaced fsx.cfg
• Tileproxy.ini has been changed to reflect the new service settings
• I'm running in test mode
• UAC is off

Only thing is I've tried running sigverif which checks for driver signing and tileproxy.sys isn't even in the log it creates. Not sure if that's significant or a red herring but its beyond my expertise to know what to do next.

Any suggestions please?

But after working for hours to get it working again on my new Windows 10 machine, i've finally gotten to the place where grids with 'circles' in them appear on the terminal window. And, it notices when I go into fsx and out of it again. It says "simulation started!" . Everything seems to be fine. No error messages in the tileproxy window.

Except, in FSX, there are no changes. The game loads waaay too fast for it to be comprehending the tileproxy scenery. It's almost instant, it should take a few minutes at least. There's the ugly white default scenery everywhere. 

I've tried all three cache services, and the one that works is no. 1 (virtual earth). I've done all the disabling of driver signatures and everything. All of that is working fine.

How can I make FSX read the scenery that Tileproxy is producing? 

FSX - Steam Edition

Thank you!!

Are we dead or what?

The good news: TileProxy appears to run normally, all the way to the ovals, and the selected flight (Seattle) loads normally.

The bad news: Everything around the airport is black. And when I check the cache folder, it's empty.

Here are the specs:  -FS9.1   -Win10-64bit   -Tileproxy-Beta8-Nov16

My ProxyUser.ini is shown below. I've doubled-checked that the cache folder reference is correct (the folder is E:\Tileproxy cache)

I'd GREATLY appreciate any suggestions. Thanks!

Recenty I'm back to build my vfr flight system. but I need to modify some TileProxy source code . I remembered that it was packed together the release version but now i couldn't find it .

Could anyone share the Source Code to me ?

My e-mail address is

thanks.

In a nutshell I want to start easing myself back in, I always had Horizon VFR for the Uk as a preference and if I'm honest I didn't take a lot of interest in  Tile Proxy. However looking at some of the posts I've seen it looks far sharper than the Photo Scenery that was/is? available

My PC is old by today's standards, I7 2.6 OC to 3.8, 6gb RAM and 1GB GPU I suppose but my internet connection is fast (75mb/s).

I suppose what I'm looking for is any pointers on whats available now and will my UK2000 scenery and RevolutionX work with Tile Proxy, that was always the downside, everything was flat at lower levels

Any Advice will be gratefully received

Cheers

Paul

I have strange issue with TileProxy:

some tiles loads properly (as You can see on the lower side of the screen), but some parts loads as pixelated scenery (upper side of the screen). If necessary I can post example of 
my ".ini" file. Any ideas ? I will appreciate your help.

Cheers,

Greg

Now before you guys start saying see this thread or that thread i have scoured the net and AVSIM to find a solution and really not found one yet.

So I assume it must be my problem and not the program.

I have posted this topic in the hope that some of you very tecnical assured people( that know more than I know) could tell me when TP is loading the tiles what is it actually doing? Is it because it cannot find the tiles on my hard drive or is it due to slow upload from a website? I do not have any problem with any other scenery upload. Horizon Orbx etc.

If anyone out there could point me in the right direction I would be very grateful. I am almost at a point of ditching TP altoghter which I am reluctant/sad to do.

Many thanks for reading.

Michael.

There is that messages in the begining of Tileproxy launching that says :
proxyUser : could not get DOS name for volume 'Device\NamedPipe' : 0x... <the request is not supported.>

Could that message be the reason for the crash?

Maybe there is no other way but to go back to Windows 7.

- How does TileProxy compare? Is it worth running instead of the above?

- What is the best LOD to use in TP for optimum balance between quality and performance?

- On a flight of say 1 hour, how much disk space is used up by downloaded texture files, given above settings?

- Does one typically delete downloaded files after completion of a flight?

- Does TP use different LOD files depending on the altitude of the aircraft?

Thanks for anyone's advice.

Stuart

Thanks,

Stuart

Big improvement in performance by just placing "Tileproxy Photoreal World" and "cache.service " on a virtual RAM disk
