The TileProxy Project Forum

Hello,I've installed Tile Proxy for the first time in a long time. I've been using GEX and UTX for awhile but with the advances in Tile Proxy I wanted to try using it as well. Installation went fine and I'm using the proxyuser.ini file from the tutorial that is stickied here in this forum. My problem I'm having is that no high resolution tiles are loading. Everything I'm seeing is blurry unless I pause the sim and let it catch up...then after flying for a few seconds it's blurry again. My tiles per second are in the 800-1000 range while loading the flight. As soon as I start flying the tiles per second are 24-28. I don't know what is causing this dramatic drop in t…

This is what I get:How do I fix this?I have installed it in the default folders except for the cache which is in my D: drive and not my C: drive.

I still love this program and am able to enjoy the downloaded area's no problem. It is only when I start the driver to add other area's then I start FSX, it will get already stuck (i.e. not respond)at the setupscreen where I can change airports, aircraft etc. Once I managed to get the flight to load but the loading indicator would not move after 30% and the batch window would not show any files being dowloaded but the message "the aircraft has moved position".Any ideas,Thanks,Paolo

TP has been working marvelously for me - however, I have been building quite a sizable cache (well over 2GB now) and yet it doesnt seem like FSX uses the cache. What I mean by that is if I fly through the same area in different flight simulator sessions, it seems like TileProxy just calls the tiles off the server like I've never been there before. I would think that having a cache would mean textures for an area you have been through before or have frequented would load right away, like default FSX textures. So how does that work?

HiAfter all this buzz i finally tryied out TP few days ago. Well I have to say it's awesome! Thank you so much for this great software. I used to build some photo sceneries with FSET but it's takes so much time..Anyway I've heard some people are asking for autogen recognition (like forests on the dark green areas). There is a program called agenT wich does this thing so adding quick autogen on massive areas isn't really a problem (in my experience you can cover 100km2 area in like 20 minutes including forests AND towns/farms etc)The real problem is the difference in color between some tiles/zones. I dont know at all if anything can be done here. I guess some color correct…

Its been awhile since I've used Tileproxy. Reasons being, I was getting too frustrated with the "vegetable soup" textures the minute you get excited by how awesome everything looks.Since I last used TP, I've gotten a quadcore Q6600 clocked to 4.0ghz and a 9800GX2 video card. Before I think about spending alot of time again setting everything up with TP, I have a question:Do you guys/gals think I'm still going to have continuous problems with blurried tiles?

Christian, I think you have forgotten the BGL covering the western part of the Tampa Bay, Florida, area. More specifically, I'm missing the 2522 file in the 0302 folder.

Certainly the depiction of thermals in the sim seems to go when using TP - don't know if the actual sim thermals go though. Would like someday to fly gliders in the sim with TP.Barry

I am posting this here in this forum - rather than the general FSx or Screenshots forum - because mostly the participants in this forum are already TP enthusiasts.Try this.In default FSx, go to airport FAYP and do a circular flight around the immediate area and land at FACT (Capetown International airport)- about 20 minutes.Then download and install the mesh addon files for South Africa to be found in the SCENERY section of AVSIM files. ( there are 5 files) . Then do the same flight in TP using using Service Provider 2.The difference is mind blowing!! - the addon mesh and the TP textures are what this Sim is really all about for me. It is a bit unfortunate that you have t…

Power assisted glider http://www.johnnycarr.com/swiftlite_PAS.html available here http://library.avsim.net/esearch.php?CatID=fsxac&DLID=117716 This is the PERFECT a/c for using with Tileproxy. I have been flying the Hangglider and the Piper Cub in TP (also the Cessna 172) - but the first 2 aren't particularly challenging to fly. This little beauty is another matter.Barry

My FSx/TP installation is working really nicely.However , one thing that seems to be setting it back is that I can't seem to get the same clarity of ground textures in the Sim as what I can see in the browserFor example, in the browser, you can zoom right in (equivalent to flying low??) and see high res textures clearly (where they are available). But in the Sim, flying low makes everything look worse - and to me, it seems that you need to fly around 3500 feet to get a nice representation.I have tried a number of different level re-mapping schemes in the INI file - but not achieving what I am looking for. It also seems that many times, the clarity of the textures closest …

Hi allWhat a wonderfull program tileproxy is I question please,After reflying over a area for the second time,is there a way to refly it without it using a heap of my server memory.I thought using the "work offline "achieved this but found i was wrong because it still consumed a fare amount of server memory .apprieciate your thoughts and help.DONPS BEST THING SINCE SLICED BREAD

Hi Christian,May I add my congratulations to those of others for what you have been able to achieve with this latest version (Beta 7 Mar 21) of TileProxy. It is a truly remarkable product and, for me, this release is, once again , opening up wide new vistas of enjoyment in both FS9 and FSX. A huge thank you from me! :)I have a fairly slow broadband connection but, having carefully read the manual and Ed Truthan's very helpful contributions, I have configured everything quite successfully. As long as I remain patient, build up the cache and fly nothing faster than a Cessna 172 the visual results are quite staggering around my home area south of Edinburgh. I have encountere…

I've got a problem, could you help me?Around the plane the picture is granular. not everywhere, because landscapes in the far away are clear.what should I change to solve it?I attached a JPG to see exactly what's it.

After flying a few segments with TileProxy :9 (Beta 7 on #4) around Salt Lake City and northwards this past week, I tried a return to the regular FSX with GEX and UTX and all the bells, but no way I'm hooked on Tile Proxy, even got road traffic working.Oh well, :)AllenE6600-quad 2.44G RAM with switch for 3GATI HD3970 512-MegsVista32-Sp1 / FSX-SP1Broadband

Hi all,so i'm getting an install error (see 186643.jpg) while installing tileproxy beta 7. I have selected ignore and the installation continues without any problems. when i run tileproxy (after the configuration) i get the screen in 186644.jpg. I then begin a flight in fs9. The loading takes almost no time and the scenery is the fs9 default. occationally i see some odd mesh glitches that aren't there in regular fs9 but there is no texture difference. when i exit fs9 image 2 has not changed at all.Notes: I ran the install with most default options. The only thing i changed was to tell it to install for fs9 also. I am using Truthan's ini file for fs9 with no modifications.…

I have a single ATI HD 3870 video card.Would the 1Gig 3870-X2 be better for TileProxy loading? Or the same....Allen

I thought I saw in an earlier thread how to determine the map version for the different services. I don't seem to be having any luck finding it tonight.Could someone explain how to retrieve the current map versions in use by a particular map service?Thanks,Mike

I am off to China for two weeks. So please help yourself in these forums ;-)

When I set the acceleration to 1/2, the sounds and everything are normal so I really cant notice. It is the same as flying near stall which I've been doing for a while now with a twin prop a/c.It allows for better a/c performance than flying on the edge of a stall, and allows me to go 180 knots and get a descent loading of textures from the http source at the same time.Anyone experiment with this yet?Allen

From the TP manual:"You might want to compare the quality that you get from the different map services - either online in your web browser before flight - or from within FSX (save your flight, exit TileProxy,switch the service in the INI file, cleanup the "TileProxy Photoreal World" folder with the corresponding "Cleanup World Folder" menu item, restart TileProxy and reload the flight). "I missed the bit "cleanup the "TileProxy Photoreal World" folder with the corresponding "Cleanup World Folder" menu item". I merely swapped over from one provider to the other.Anybody care to explain what this is all about - I am a bit confused about the "Cleanup World folder and also th…

Hi Christian,I wonder, could I ask you to look at this thread over at the MSFS Scenery Design Forum, please:http://forums.avsim.net/dcboard.php?az=sho..._id=36375&page=I would be very interested in any comments or suggestions you may feel able to make.Thanks,Mike

Hi,I cannot get FSX (nor FS9) working with TileProxy already running.This is what I did:I installed the latest version of TileProxy (Mar21) to the default locations with the default settings. I installed the proxyuser.ini file for FSX (and later tested it with that for FS9) provided by Ed Truthan. I did no manual changes to any cfg or ini file.I disabled my Firewall and virus Programm (Windows Live One Care). I start TileProxy and it says: ready for takeoff.I start FSX and TileProxy begins to work (looks like it fills a out a pattern of dashes and asterisks). After a couple of seconds, roughly at that point when FSX should switch from the splash screen to the opening menu…
