The TileProxy Project Forum

I havent used TP in a while so I thought that I would give it a go again. But when I do the sim loads but I get this message:TileAPI_ObtainTile: Excessive TileAPI tile count (overscan:0.000000, tilewidth=8, tileheight=8, level=10, w=1, h=2147481630, w*h=2147481630)qmid=15, offset=-5.000000, drop=0, increase=0C:Program FilesMicrosoft GamesMicrosoft Flight Simulator XTileproxy>pausePress any key to continue . . .And all i get is black scenery.I have tried reinstalling but no luck and my config seems fine and has worked before.Any help appreciated and thanks for this great program!

I am stuck on Tileproxy. In spite of it's difficulties (mainly because of my system and ISP connection speed) and the fact that I have to fly slowly (limiting me to the helos) and more often than not I have to pause the Sim quite often for it to catch up with the textures downloading -- I can't fly without it. The default textures are just cartoonish!TP takes me to the place! Anywhere in the world - places that I will probably never go to - or places that I have been to but will never go again.Austria - what a magnificant beautiful country. I was there briefly just before Christmas in 1979. Now I can see what it would have looked like in SummerThank you Christianhttp://fo…

HiIhave just completed a flight and the cache folder seems to be full,in order to build a library of my flights to use offline do i now have to rename this folder so a new cache folder can be created for the next flight,is this the way it works?I AM 77 years old and this wonderfull program alows me to jump into my aircraft and explore the world for free,it makes retirement so much more exiting MY THANKS CHRIS DON

How do i get areas i want? like metro areas and such... is there a way to get while i sleep or anything... new userThanks in advance...also great program Steve

when using tileproxy and starting in klas airport, mccarran intl, it seems as though half of the airport is cut in half along with the strip which seems to show through with default scenery instead. i have gex and utx all installed, but not active as tileproxy is running instead. any ideas on why this would be happening? anyone else experience the same thing?

TP works okay for me in fsx, but not in fs9. When I load tp for fs9 it loads and reads ready for takeoff. As the simulation loads I get "0" hits. I get preloaded tiles, but no hits or access. Can anyone tell me whats wrong?

Here's a wide pic of TileProxy and Megascenery, where they meet at the edge of Vegas. In the top left I have inserted a mini screenie of the big screenie so you can see the demarcation line. Tileproxy is the darker, to the north.Christian, it would appear that the only real difference between Megascenery and Tile proxy (from Y) is the lighting (and the sea in other shots). Megascenery is way brighter making it look better. Is there a way for your little program to lighten the tiles as it processes them?

Another question for you, Christian, please....What exactly does cleaning up the world Folder do? What does it delete and what does it leave? What's it's purpose, specifically?What does it do compared with using "Manage Service Caches"?I'm thinking that managing the caches clears out the pertinent folders completely... as opposed to the "Clean Up World Folder" doing what?Appreciate if you (or any other user/addicts :) ) could help me get my head around this.Thanks!

Can anyone tell me why TP shuts down before all scenery is loaded leaving FSX to cope with what is saved.I am flying from Inverness airport using VE. I am not loading 30cm scenery only everything down to 60cm.BernVista, SP2, DX10

I am trying to get this program to work with FS9 without success.I have installed Tileproxy in my FS9 directory on my C drive. butwhen I start the program the following is reported :TileProxy Directory is C:FS 910TileProxy, Tileproxy will operate on drive C:System error 1060 has occurred.The specified service does not exist as an installed service.Load failed with error: 0x80070420An instance of the service is already running.Attach failed with error: 0x801f0012An instance already exists with this name on the volume specified.proxyUser: will operate on drive C:proxyUser: DeviceHarddiskVolume1 ===> C:proxyUser: Setting processor affinity mask to 2proxyUser: Configuratio…

Entering the code manually resolves it but it does pause FSX and opens up this window...By spybaz

Hi Ed Truthan has done a magnificent job with his website where he gives good info on how to get TP running - including an INI file for the major map providers. Unfortunately, we haven't seen Ed for a little while - so people are now downloading his INI file which is a bit out of date.The map version numbers need to be updated on his INI file - as well as the web address for GoogleBarry

This program is my new addiction!So my two questions of the day are:1) How far out from the aircraft does this program look to download satellite imagery for. (i.e. if I pause or hover how far out(what radius) will the satellite terrain be mapped?2) My system can handle LOD 17, where available, but I am wondering what determines the drawing of these LOD levels...Is it altitude?Time on station hovering?Answers would be really appreciated without flamage of the author. I don't know, that is why I am asking. It is how one learns in life :)Thanks again for this program!!

Hi againDoes anyone know how one can continue with a flight from the coordinates on where the last flight was quit ?When quitting a flight I can look up the exact coordinates where I stopped - so far so good. But when I insert these coordinates in the .flt file that I have saved, the next time I chose that flight it starts again at the airport just where I began the previous flight and ignores the new coordinates that I had given as the entrypoint.What am I overlooking?There are preconfigured .flt-fligths that start "in the air" at a given set of coordinates, so it is obviously possible - but how?Why do I want to do that anyway? To avoid that I have to fly all the way ag…

I am trying to use Manage Service Cache program in TP. I have 1.1 GB of tiles in 61277 individual jpg's in Service 3. I have clicked on the areas that show, and have moved the resolution level, the size and number of tiles change, and the areas get smaller, etc.I click on an area, zoom in is activated. I click it and either nothing happens, or I get a blue screen.Obviously, I am missing something here. Please clue the clueless person in?Thanks,Gary P.

I started TileProxy, received TP Ready message in DOS box.Started FSX and went to start-up airfeld. TP appeared to start doing stuff but FSX got to about 6% and then errord with "Failed to Read File".Can anyone advise what might be the problem?Regards,Stuart

Just Registered here to say....Thanks for this it is awesome. Worked 'out of the box' with the pre-configured ProxyUser.ini from:http://www.edtruthan.com/tileproxy/ProxyUser.zip. Thanks for this too! I am struggling to get it to work with any of the other "Service Examples", besides the default [service Example 3], though.I tried lowering the simultaneous connections to '5' on our 'G' friend (Svc Ex2) but all I get is failures...On trying Svc Ex4 (no need to ask) I get same bunch of failures but not as frequently (Svc ex2 was total and constant failure). It eventually works but load times ar soo sloow and the images are just a pixlated mess.'source=Service Example 1' reac…

Let me just start with a huge thank you to Christian Buchner for this amazing project!!!!!!And also Ed Truthan for the INI file and also great advice!!!Yesterday I came back to the tileproxy project after almost giving up on using it it as I could never get it to work right.It looked so amazing I just had to try again, so I did. I downloaded the latest version and again had a problem but then found one important piece of advise which I had glossed over every time I tried to use this program and that was to go into the main FS9 folder and delete all the left over tileproxy files that had been left after installation.Now I can tell you that everything is working an absolute…

FSX and TP have been getting along quite famously.Grabbed the latest, March 2nd?, TP and installed it.Downloaded Ed's ini file.Started TP.... loaded from 200 - 500 tiles per second. minute? Anyway. Started FSX and it loaded as one would expect. At 100% FSX opened to an all black screen.Tried again from scratch same result.Advice? Suggestions?

I have now used TP successfully flying from various airports using Y. Thanks to the assistance from several people in this forum. THANKS.However, most of the airports have only the runways and 3D FSX buildings around them, except at Dillingham Hawaii. It still has autogen trees and other buildings. See first jpg.Once airborne and heading inland, the autogen trees fade away, and the service takes over. See second jpg.I also noticed that a few 3D structures appear amongst the online service photo-terrain. Can I eliminate them somehow?Does TP eliminate the need for UTX, GEX, Megascenery, and others? Or are they complimentary to each other. The user manual mentioned mesh…

I have uninstalled and reinstalled TP beta 7 three times. I haven't gotten any cached tiles, but I get nearly 700-800 tiles per second, 100k+ preloaded, and 100k+ hits, etc., and have used GE and Yah as sources the 2nd and 3rd installs - but TP has lots of black tiles, shows airport buildings and runways correctly at HNL, COU, SLC, Grand Canyon, and Hana, but land areas are usually black, but this last install I saw green rectangles, plus other colored ones. Weird.I LOVE the way it works at Dillingham, and hope I can get it to work most places.Suggestions please.Gary p.Dell XPS 720, Intel Duo Quad 2.67 MHz, 4 GB Ram, dual nVidia 8800 GT 512's SLI, dual 500 GB WD HDD with…

Using FP Beta 7, and the ini file provided on AVSIM, my first flight using FileProxy was from Dillingham in Hawaii - worked like a charm. Had FSX scenery included. Except no tiles cached, although I had cache turned on in the ini. Have used both G and Y services.Moved location to Hana Maui - the airport was the only piece that wasn't dark - it even had buildings - no other scenery at all - water was Ok, and far away islands were OK, but not Maui - could see the outlines of the mountains though. No files cached.Moved to the Grand Canyon - same result as Hana. No files cached.Moved to Columbia Missouri - same result as Hana and GC. No files cached. See attached Word do…

Me again . . .After about 20 hours of searching for the reason why tileproxy isn't willing to work properly for me - I need some advice.Starting Tileproxy, everything seems to be fine: "ready for take off"As I start FSX the "Diamonds" begin to fill rapidly. Using G****le as service 2, I'm getting a message that I have to fill in some letters and click okay, then loading is resumed correctly.What I don't understand is that except "preloaded 91.675" and "messages 471" (numbers only examples) everything else stays at 0.0 ??That doesn't change from then on . . .Starting my flight, the landscape is indeed photoreal made by Tileproxy.Close around the starting point of the flig…

Hi, I noticed, via Filemon, that during startup Tileproxy is looking in all possible places for a file called "simconnect.cfg".I did a search and there is no such file anywhere on my computer to be found.So, what's this file about?? Is it needed for functioning properly?I reinstalled Tileproxy and reinstalled it . . . no such file has been created so far.Any information is welcomedGreetings Karsten

This morning I noticed that I was not getting good textures in an area that I would expect to - Oahu with Yahoo. When the TP DOS box indicated that all the resolutions had been downloaded, the textures looked good - but after a while they looked blurry. I could then see from the TP DOS box that there were LOD textures missing - but TP did not appear to be trying to fetch these ( no blinking of lights on my ADSL modem) . Or is it that TP can't get them from the server for some reason?Just CuriousBarry
