    Can one of you guys, both, or anyone for that matter comment on the FSX slider positions for Tileproxy? Here is something to start the conversation. I don't want to waste any pc crunching power nor lose any resolution from TP. I'm also interested in where the Frame Rate Limit is set and the Scenery objects complexity slider is in the Display Tab. Thanks. RayM

    Hi I am brand new to Tileproxy. I got Tileproxy and FltsimX to work together the scenery and operation work just fine. My only problemis the sound and keyboard don't work while Tileproxy is on. If I turn Tileproxy off everything works. Am I the only one with this problem?. Is there something in the .ini files that I have to add or Change? I hope someone has some ideas as I really like the improved sceneryThanks JLV

    Just a quick one - despite me activating world_LOD8 in the scenery library, the first oval in my window does not fill. What would cause this? I have min preload set to 9 as per Christian's instructions in the manual, and level mapping set from 10 -17 I have looked and looked at my settings but cant see why. Any ideas ? Cheers,Mark

  7. As i now have 2 computers running FSX, can I save some time in re downloading all scenery in my favourite flying areas by simply copying the contents of the 0202 folder in the photorealworld folder in my old install to the new one? Same applies to the whole of my cache folder. I just wondered if there were any install specific issues that would give problems with this...Thx, Mark

  8. I get this error message after about 30 or 40 minutes of flying: "output size of write extended bmp looks fishy"What can I do to keep from getting this error?I get this no matter where I am flying. It has happened in SE USA along the coast and NW USA in Idaho. Montana area.

  9. I wont bore you all too much with my tales of woe, but just built a new main rig for FSX. I set it up and installed tileproxy, and the first time I ran it, it was awesome, i was getting 1500 tiles accesses a second and perfect results at high speeds. I made 2 small test flights. Then I noticed that performance was getting worse., to the point where the textures would snap into high definition. After several days fiddling around, I decided that I would re install both FSX and tile proxy, which I have done. FSX is running pretty good , freshly installed, no add ons. So I have installed tile proxy. It appears to work, all the ovals fill, I get downloading activity, but acce…

    For all of you who, like me, prefer the TP scenery low in the scenery library, but installed it after all other addon scenery I have a solution to move the TP scenery in 2 minutes down to the place where you want it.1 First download Scenery Manager 2004.2 Install it en point it to the default FSX directory3 Now copy your scenery.cfg file from C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\FSX ( this is the place where it is in Windows 7 . With Vista/XP you have to look it up yourself ) to the default FSX folder 4 Open Scm20045 With Shift and the Downwards Arrow you can select all TP scenery 6 Drag it as high as you can7 You will see the whole scenery going up ( which means down in the scene…

    Hi all,I just started to use TileProxy for a month now and working perfect.Last week I did a complete new install of FSX on Windows 7 64 Bit.Everything is working ok.I got a second PC next to it running XP. I installed Squawkbox and ASX on this one and it connect perfectly via SimConnect to my FSX Machine.Now I was wondering: Is it possible to install TileProxy on a second machine, since you can/need to share the FSX main folders over the network anyway. Also I can imagine that it takes of some load off the hardrive access.Could anybody tell me if this is possible?Thanks!!Br. Wessel

    Hi Guys, just been setting up my new PC and finally got FSX installed and now Tile Proxy. Its working, and working brilliantly, the performance is simply awesome. However, I have a small issue. I am getting an error message repeating, saying something like: Tile proxy precreate unsolicited access to tilproxy photorealworld\0202\texture\003003222223232osu.BMP by device hard disk volume 1\windows\system\search protocol host.exe" in between the oval screens. It does not appear when the sim is paused, only when tile proxy is working.anyone know what is going on and why? it does not seem to have an adverse effect on the programme.Cheers,Mark

    I got an email with an advertisement from Abucus for "USA Extreme Landscapes " and it made me think about how great Tileproxy is, but how the topo under it was horrible ... some textures 'slide' and 'stretch' right off the edges of say the Grand Canyon for example because the topo isn't as accurate as TP is .... Although I'm sure that something like USA Extreme Landscapes probably would correct the topo, but would TP be able to work with it? Would TileProxy lay the tiles down on top of the new topographical 'upgrade so to speak? Here's a link to the product: http://www.abacuspub.com/catalog/s717frame.htm although I can't complain ... here are a few screenshots that show r…

  16. Good Morning everyoneI suppose the question has been put previously but I did not find a comment on it.When I read the tutorials of TP I find the recommandation to disable the antivirus and firewall of the PC. Knowing the number of attacks coming up everyday I find this rather akward and wonder If I would not seriously expose my PC to unwanted dangers and troubles.A serious and precise answer on this matter and the decision to take use properly TP would be most welcomed.looking forward to your advices.ClaudeParis-France

  17. Hi Guys, as the last thread got somewhat bogged down in discussions as to wether it was actually possible, I have decided to open this new thread as I have had some very interesting information from Christian Buchner on the subject. It seems that the tweak does indeed have an effect still. It also seems that this effect could be tweaked by the useage of the affinity mask value, to spread the processing load on the most appropriate core thus ensuring the maximum performance. I would like some input from those who know about what they see as the best settings, IE which core to allocate for what, in the light of what Christian has to say on the subject, which I have quoted b…

    Hi everyone. I have been in and out of using TP...and want to start using it again...maybe even get it it set up correctly, this time...:-).But, I have not been able to successfully dl and unzip the beta 8 at sourceforge. The download seems to go well, but unzipping hangs. I use the task manager to end the unzipping process, which then forces me to restart explorer.exe. It's all very frustrating.Anyway, to begin at the beginning, has anyone had problems with the download? I've even disabled my firewall and virus protector...without any difference. ThanksSherm

    Hello allI first would like to apologise if this issue has already been discussed but I could not find any similar topic.Greatly excited by some screenshots of Tileproxy water blending feature, I tried to give it a try on my rig : FS X SP2, E8500, 4 GB, ATI 4870.But attached is what I get : very cubic shores, no blending.On ground all is fine (detail, loading times, rendering) but the inland water rendering : always this blocky look.Which proxyuser.ini line shall I edit ?Thanks in advance for your supportEDIT : just to be more specific : I tried with a fresh new install of FS X patched with SP2. Launched it a first time to build the scenery library, then installed TP.

    Apologies for the over excitemet, and I know this is a technical help and not a screenshot forum, but I just had to share this. I have just just had a taste of TileProxy at its best. Just look at the following shots taken over the Colorado rockies, at about 150kts. I had no blurries, all just perfect. It really does not get much better than that does it!!!!!Christian, you are a genius Sir!! After all the frustraing days of trying to get it right, I am so happy!!!I will post my .cfg & .ini files for anyone who wants....Cheers, Mark
