The TileProxy Project Forum

I've been flying Tileproxy regularly for the last year and studied, experimented with and thought about this topic most of the time...I'd like to share some conclusions with all of you who are interested in the topic.A very difficult topic to do without lots of diagrams but here

please remove thread

Hi all,Perhaps someone has an idea why this is.When flying at 110 knots in a Cessna at 2500 ft over 0.60 p/m resolution I have a perfect sharp view.When flying with at 260 knots in a B737 at 17.500 ft over 4.75 p/m resolution within 1 minute the picture starts to become blurry bit by bit.Because I use 2 monitors for 1 wide outside view I cannot go down till very low resolutions ; then the underground does not appear sharp.These ares my ini settings when using the 4.75 p/m res:max_lod=13preload_min_lod=12preload_max_lod=13cache_bytes_limit=1000000000cache_tiles_limit=250000[service Example 1]cache_folder=C:\Program Files\Microsoft Games/cache.service1network_module=libnett…

Hello,Are these the settings that decide which service to use? :# The currently active service is configured here. Only ONE active source please.# The other source statements should be commented out.#source=Acme Globe Service#source=Service Example 1source=Service Example 3#source=Service Example 4...so in this case, is my TP going to use service 3, because it isnt commented out?I think id like to use service 1, (which is virtual earth, i think), but how do i know ??thanks for any help, Rich

Hi.I suspect there are no such tool today, But I find it could be quite useful.Im in the process of mapping of the entire southern part of Sweden where the lowest Zoomlevel will be 15. In some areas I go for level 16 and pherhaps even 17.Anyhow, Instead if having several thousands of small files in my cache I would like to convert them to .BGL files instead and push them into the sceenery library in FSX. It would be great if they could still work together with Tileproxy so if you fly outside this area it will continue to load as usual.I know very little of programming so I wont be able to finish such a project, but I can imagine there are fooks out there that know this b…

BEHOLD! ("AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!")Driver Signature Enforcement Overrider 1.3bhttp://www.ngohq.com/home.php?page=dseox64 users CELEBRATE!Now you don't have to suffer for wanting to use more than 3.5GB of RAM!

Hi all,Two days ago I installed TP.I first put the TP Photoreal World folder with the Cache folder on a seperate drive, but got errors saying that no servie1 cahce subfolders could be made.Then I un- and reinstalled TP and used the default paths ( unfortunately it now is the same drive as where Vista and FSX are installed. I installed a 500Gb only for the TP files ) .Now TP says it is ready for take off, but when starting up FSX I see error messages like :- Transfer #...problem- g325=28- Error was 28- Timeout was reachedI have tried to set the Rate to 0.5 , but no luck.Help is appriciated as I really would like to start flying with this great program.As I intend to do jet…

I have fs global x -fsgenesis-fs altitude installed/My question which of these programs will benefit tile proxy the most?Is it wise to leave all 3 installed,or choose which one is most beneficial.My thanks Don

Ok! I got it all working fantastico!! Chris...you're a Genius!! Thank you so much for making it truly as real as it gets!Couple of tips, if you're having problems (like i did) with getting it to work within Windows 7:IF IT DOESNT WANT TO LOAD AFTER INSTALL:1. When you're installing TP, and it asks you where you want to place the Cache folder and the Realworld folder, and you want to put it onto another drive -- JUST PUT IT ON THE ROOT OF THE DRIVE YOU SPECIFY!DONT MAKE A FOLDER FOR IT!!That was the big problem for me. Once i put it on the root...everything was greatBLURRY IMAGES:Make sure you clamp the framerate to something like 24, or 30 in FSX. DO NOT leave it on unlim…

Does anyone know a way to allways allow unsigned drivers, so I don't have to select this everytime I'm flying?

Guys,Whilst exploring Google's new Streel Level service, I found a picture of me stood outside of my office (causing considerable mirth amongst my colleagues, I might add).So it occurred to me that if they were using my image without my permission or a licence to do so, then I would be perfectly justified in using their images on the same basis.OK, they might argue that the image of me is a little blurred, but then, so are their sat pictures.So there you have it. My justification for using Google Earth with Tileproxy which allows me to counterclaim if they choose to litigate against me. All I need now is for someone to post a configuration file :( Please.PS - no offence t…

Just have to say that Tileproxy is awesome. Just wondering if night lighting will be added sometime down the road?

Hi all,Christian, I was wondering if , somehow, the idea of a ground cone , where only the default ( or addon ) ground textures show up, can be put in TileProxy.As I have 2 26" monitors for one wide view the zoon is automatically doubled compared to 1 monitor, even when using 0.3.So the 15 p/m textures are not sharp enough.Everyone that uses 2 or even 3 monitors for the outside view will experience the same. Also the 18 m/p high altitude layer of TP is by far not sharp enough or I would have to fly at 60.000 ( LOL ) Having the possibility to set it manually to 5 or 10 p/m would be very nice.It even would be nice if there was a feature of using more than one texturelayer…

Hi everyone,I seem to be having a problem getting up and running. My first problem is when I launch the program before starting FS9.This is what I get. Also I downloaded the preconfigured proxyuser.ini file from Ed Truthan's tutorial website.When I look at the different service providers I do not see Microsoft VE or Yahoo Maps. Just some other server looking addresses that I don't recognise.Do I have to manually go in and change the servers? I am confused.To save my potential helpers a lot of time I have during install placed the cached folder on a seperate drive AND have already made sure that they are linked by changing the address string in the proxyuser.ini file.Hopef…

I love this software.I'm a Developer (C++, MFC, MCSD, C#, ASP.NET, ). I'd like to help, but I don't want to do anything that would interfere with Christian's development path. I'd rather be instructed as an assistant in any way. Tidy some things up? Work out some lines of code? Porting?I already see that the bottleneck is the CPU speed, so maybe there's not that much software can do to that now. But if there are still plans maybe I could lend a hand.

Hi All,I've just downloaded the latest version of TP and need advise on configuring the .ini file for use with VE but I've noticed that the URL in edruthan's .ini file is different to that as displayed on firefoxes page info media tab. What should I do?TIADaz

Hi, guys, i just took the plunge and installed. I read Ed Ruthans install advice and followed the instructions to the letter. Before the install of tile proxy, I also disbaled driver signing in the boot menu.I installed the 2 cach files to a separate drive, , again, following Eds instructions carefully. I have 2 folders, one called TPCache and one called TileProxyCache. The tileProxyPhotorealworld folder is in the parent folder called TPCache. In the other folder ( TileProxyCache) there is now a folder called cache.service3.On starting my FSX, I got an error message saying " delete J:\TPCache|TilProxyPhotorealworld\0202\scenery\ptx1719 & 1819" I pressed ok, and FSX …

I reinstalled TP today to try and fix a freezing problem I had when FS2004 was loading. However, every time I've tried to reinstall it I notice that my scenery.cfg file doesn't get updated with the new TP entries.Is there a way to get them in there without manually typing them in one by one?

Hellow againi use aprox 500mgs per hour when flying on line,i am fairly limited as here in aust we pay foreach gig used.When i fly for 1 hour i check the usage then refly the same plan but find usage is almost the same,shouldnt the usage be a lot less as most of the tiles are already in the cache?.what can i be doing wrong?thanks in advance for any help DON

After being wowed by some youtube-based video demos for TP, I decided to try it on my ancient Athlon 64 computer and pathetic 1m DSL connection, both well below minimum specs. After downloading the program (45 minutes; yeah, feel *very* sorry for me), dutifully reading a popular online tutorial as well as Christian's documentation for installation, and messing around with the configuration file for a bit, TP finally told me I was 'ready for takeoff'. Well, let the slideshow begin! Imagine, then, my amazement, when I discovered it's really not that bad. Certainly the loading and processing times on my machine would be like watching grass grow for those running TP on the 'r…

Hello,As title, some parts of outer London are covered in sea texture, and now I just took a flight from Antalya and Istanbul and they are completely under water!Any ideas how to fix this?Thank you.

Hi all,I've just installed and setup tileproxy using the "A Tileproxy Quick Guide", however when I load FSX I keep getting the same error message pop up lots of times.I have included a screenshot.Thanks.

This is becoming a habit B) Please help,A month ago i lost a cache folder of the whole of uk and could not work out why.When i uninstall tp i usually walk away and leave it to it,today i needed to uninstall andnoticed it was deletng my Montana cache folder.I was uninstalling with the uninstaller in program Filesx86 microsoft games fsx, my cache folders areon a seperate drive well away from the Tile Proxy folder. Once it starts to uninstall it cannot be stopped only by turning off the computer,and i cannot complete the uninstall MY THANKS DON :( :( :( B)

im running windows XP 64 bit.i followed the installation of tileproxy as per the site tutorial, but i still can NOT get it to run.i am encountering this message..C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Games\Microsoft Flight Simulator X\Tileproxy>proxyuser.exeproxyUser: FSX \Device\HarddiskVolume1 ===> C:proxyUser: Connecting to the filterproxyUser: ERROR connecting to filter port: 0x80070002C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Games\Microsoft Flight Simulator X\Tileproxy>pausePress any key to continue . . .I have been on this two days, and all i see is something about disable driver signing...i have set driver signing on "ignore" in the computer properties...also disable …

As per title.When I look in settings it is ticked, but when flying unfortunately graphics look horrendous.Any suggestions?Thanks.
