The TileProxy Project Forum

I have just installed TileProxy and I am not getting any Black Tiles. But all the scenery, such as grass, roads, mountains etc are black. I have tried to follow the instructions regarding proxyuser.ini file, but no change. I am not very technically inclined, so any simple instructions would be great!FSXVISTA AMD 649800 GTSMarkH

Hi,recently I tried tileproxy. during the first installation attempt the installation locked; I forced the installation program to close with task manager, restarted the machine and tried to install it again. This time it worked. I uninstalled tileproxy in the same day but since then, svchost randomly crashes, when it happens I can't close any window and can't turn off pc, I have to reset the machine through the front button. Can you think of any reason this problem may be related to tileproxy?My pc is an intel e8400, 4gb ram, 9800gtx+, windows xp 32 sp3Let me now if you need of any other info.Thank you

Welcome back everybody. So now people are no longer alone with their Tileproxy problembut can seek help in this forums.But please excuse when I don't add my 2 cents to every thread. I've got a life too, you know.ChristianPS:Burn the hacker! Burn him :(

First of all, thanks for a fantastic program. I have it working on one computer using FS2004, and it works great. I have been enjoying it very much.Bouyed by my success on my FS2004 machine, I decided to try and install it on my FS2002 machine. My sons and I fly together on the two machines using FSHost.The specs for it are: Compaq Pentium 4 1.50 GHz 1.50 GHz 512 MB of RAM 1 GB of Virtual RAM SAMSUNG SV1021H 34GB HD ATI Radeon X1300/X1550 Graphics Card Omega 2.8.442 video drivers 5 GPS WIFI connection Windows XP Service Pack 3 FS2002 After installing it, I copied over the same tileproxy.ini file I used on my FS2004 setup. However, while FS2002 is loading, I get the fol…

My family and I used to live down on the Gulf Coast of Texas, but decided to move further inland in the aftermath of Hurricane Rita. Hurricane Ike and another hurricane in between confirmed that our decision may have been a good one. With Tileproxy now working on my FS 2004 computer, I made a flight from KBPT to Galveston Island, with Tileproxy turned on. I thought that maybe enough time had passed that the images would be post-hurricane; but they (as well as those on Goggle Earth) are pre-hurricane; giving a picture of the way things used to be.This is a stretch of the coastal highway (Hwy 87?) between Sabine Pass and High Island, Texas. This stretch of highway was close…

Hi people.I have just read some posts about Tileproxy and I

Hi all,I've just installed Tileproxy and tried it at Hawaii. It's a very nice program and works very well....its just awesome. But then i tried it in Alps at Sion (Switzerland) and here what i get, even after one hour loading....=> The two at high altitude are at 20000 feet....Anyone could tell me why ? :( Here is the proxyuser.ini file....is it well configured to get the highest graphics please ? :( [TileProxy]master_enable=Onlogfile="C:\logfile.txt"diskless_mode=Offoffline_mode=Nomax_lod=17preload_min_lod=9preload_max_lod=17max_contexts=512water_mask=Onwater_blending=Onblend_distance=500.0blend_exponent=1.0alpha_min=0.2678alpha_max=0.7365water_rgb=#000D1Awater_smo…

When i use service1 V EARTH i get a thick grey lline with a emblam on it mostly when i get close to a country's border,then tile proxy packs in and has to be restartedas long as i keep away from the borders things run clear and crisp,i havent seen any reports in the forum of anyone else getting the same thing ,does anybody have an explanation why ,seemingly i am the only one getting this my thanks Don

I've been using TileProxy for a while now and was wondering if it is possible for geographical areas that have very low LOD tiles available when using certain services, to display the default texture tiles? For example Northern Ontario just has low res crummy textures now when using TileProxy. I use Ground Environment X, and it would be nice for the default FSX textures which GEX replaces, to be shown in areas that have very low resolution or LOD coverage. Thanks

Hi AllReally getting to grips with Tileproxy now and have tonight made an interesting discovery.Was running FS9 at 1280X 1024 and getting blurry tiles if I went much above 65 kts TAS.Dropped resolution to 1152 X 864 and am flying along above 100kts with perfectly crisp textures and clearly better texture loading times.Worth trying this on your rig if your having problems with texture loading and blurries.System:AMX 5000 dual core7900 GS Nvidia graphics2 Gigs DDR2 RAMHope this helps somebody. Can I ask for some feedback if anyone benefits.Cheers, IAN

I had TP Beta 8 running just fine on Windows XP...took a break for a week. Next time I started TP, my system crashed...recovered from a serious error. I reinstalled FSX, and TP, and now I get the filter port error. Any ideas? I have been through the forum, and have tried everything I could find related to this error and Windows XP. Curious thing is, I had not changed anything on FSX or TP between the time it worked and the time it crashed my system. Any help would be much appreciated!

Hi ChristianI just want to thank you for all the hard work you've put into this project. I was unsuccessful at making Tileproxy work in Windows XP (the 0 accesses problem), but I was able to use the advice given on this forum to configure it to work in Windows 7 beta. I'm grateful to yourself and the other forum members for this. I can understand why people say 'once you've used Tileproxy, it's hard to go back! It really transforms FSX into something much better - you can now explore the world instead of exploring MS generated terrain.I hope that access to map servers will continue to be possible despite the recent loss of a prominant server.Thanks again,Mike

HiI've been using Tileproxy with FS9 for about 3 months now. Today I decided to cleanup world folder and all I have got is black tiles ever since.I have around 1.3 gigabytes in service cache 1 and didn't delete any of these.Can anyone tell me what has gone wrong?Thanks, IAN

Just wanted to jump in and say or give my gratitude to mr. Buchner.Been fiddling with flight sims and anything that resembled flight sim since 1990 and my first 286 machine.Im a computer programer although studied hardware. Never ever something like this impresed me so much. Probably not so much in technical sense than the end result.Its just incredible, im sure many and many had the same idea, but noone had time, will, commitment, knowledge, urge, enthusiasm , devotion,passion and love for flight to do this.I congratulate you dear sir, you made my first decade in 21st century complete.wish you all best Thanks to all forum members too, i would never get the tileproxy to w…

Hi!I'd like to try out the 30 cm

So, I've scammed the net for some HOWTO's but cant realy understand them or find themI want to add another mapping service to my tileproxythey should get their data from (complete demo url) http://ts3.webatlas.no/?x1=568704&y1=7...amp;s=1&l=1ts1 - ts2 - ts3 etcAnyone know how to set this up.. Mapping service for norway is realy hard to find! :)Edit 2: looks like they get their maps from http://zett.gisline.no/gltmp/demo/dw0fry55...4_grunnkart.jpg ??In advanced.. thanx!Have a great dayThis is what I got so far[service0]module_config="conn=20|rate=10.0|verbose=0|server=http://ts3.webatlas.no|path=/?x1=%&y1=%&z=128&s=1&l=1|quad=xy|balance=0123|userage…

I could need some help with the %l, %x and %y variables as they result in way to high values causing TileProxy to load textures that are outside of the ortophoto coverage area. All textures in FS2004 gets blue.In ProxyUser.ini I have set up the tile path ...raster/%l/%x/%y.jpg|...This result in URLs like ...raster/13/4234/1719.jpg...The correct values should have been in the area of ...raster/13/610/632.jpg...13 is the zoomlevel and x and y values double when zooming in one step.Is there any way I can modify my URL so it will be correct or is the map service I'm using not compatible with TileProxy?

Hi all,Service 1 is working fine but I don't seem to have any success with services 3 or 4.Wherever I seem to go I get either low res tiles or none at all.Any thoughts as to why this might be?Thanks, IAN

Ok, now that it works, and it works perfect without any tweak more what I had before (SP2 known tweaks), it's absolutly fantastic !I have less blurries then with normal photoreal scene !!I had a fly on the example3 server, with the florida keys settings, over South Brittany coast...Thanks to the author for this fantastic tool.A little question : If I only select a departure airport without any destination, as I did before, the photoreal zone finishes after a while and ground and sea come back to be the standard FSX look. (I can see perfectly the limit on the sea).Is there a way to extend this area before flying, will it stay like that and that's all, or if I'm patient, w…

Hello,I've just installed tileproxy on my system.I use FSX SP2, with UTX europe/canada USA, GEX and FEX (I hope that there is no compatibility issue).My system :Asus M4A79 deluxe, phenom 2 940, 4gb ram DDR2 1066, Geforce GTX 260/2 (core 216, 55nm). Windows XP pro SP3I followed very carrefuly the quick start-up guide and chose to place TPcache and "TileProxy Photoreal World" in a different place then my OS drive.FSX is on my D drive , TP cache is on D:\TPcache and "TileProxy Photoreal World" is in D:\TPworld.I checked that the cache folders were OK in the proxyuser.ini (D:\TPcache\cache.service1...etc).I chose my source and of course I saved.I restarted the PCI started ti…

Hi guys, I tried using the search function but didn't come up with anything. I wanted to know if it's possible to turn off the FSX generic scenery in order to just run tileproxy over the top of it. I know that the airports will not be detailed and runways may not be in the same place but is this possible and if so how would you do it?

Sample: They are progressive, so give them plenty of time to load all levels:http://www.mainecustomdesign.com/redflag/04_17b_09/http://www.mainecustomdesign.com/redflag/04_19b_09/Comparison Shots:http://www.mainecustomdesign.com/redflag/west/Page, AZ - http://www.mainecustomdesign.com/redflag/04_17_09/Thank you Christian! Right now I have TP loading up the same area ... only this time:min_level=8max_level=17level_mapping=17,17,17,17,17,17,17,17,17,171/2 an hour now, and there are 6 stars in the first circle- Darrin

HelloUsed to use Tileproxy with no issues and it was amazing.Now upgraded my PC to one that can handle FSX and find tileproxy 8 doesnt work for me.I have read manual at length.When loading I get preloads but no hits for tiles at all, no tiles are loaded into any cache and of course scene I get is just bare terrain.I am trying to load areas like San Francisco, and I am not using ACME of course lolAny suggestions would be welcome(btw this is Sunstriker changed name some time back )best regardsRich

I'm know this has probably been answered but it is 2:53am and after trying to figure all of this stuff out before my baby starts crying again, I've finally given in. I'm using yahoo maps, and according to flight simx from what I see on the ground, it is nothing like the actual maps I look at on yahoo! It does not even look like i'm in the right state! Am I doing something wrong? Or do they just occasionally not match to the simulator? I was just trying to fly over my hometown which I know like the back of my hand, and I'm seeing nothing familiar. So if anyone can answer this, I'd appreciate it! :)Thanks, Now it's time for sleep. . .I hate when I get deeply involved with c…

firstly, thank you so much for an absolute superb piece of software!is it possible to use wikimapia as a service in tileproxy? cheers, chris.
