Just a quick announcement that FSX SP2/Acceleration works well with Tileproxy.I wasn't able to detect any noteable performance gains over SP1 though. For some users the RTM version may still provide the best performance.

Just a little off-topic FYI, This Sunday I flew from Munich to Sardinia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sardinia) for 10 Euros. And another 10 Euros to get back.That's an 80 minute flight. My presence on the plane must have cost a multiple of that in Kerosene alone. And CO2.. sorry ;-/But I took the opportunity to have some food in Italy and to get a good look at the "water texture" in real life. The transition zone between land and water in Tileproxy looks quite unrealistic I must say ;)Can anyone top me with a more inexpensive flight?

Hi all,After reading Christians comment that the RTM version of FSX is the best version for use with TileProxy I decided to un-install FSX +SP1 and reload the RTM version.Unfortunately FSX will not re-install comming up with Error 1335 - The cabinet file D1Feat~7.cab required for this installation is corrupt and cannot be used.The DVD is clean and scratch free and I have the latest DVD driver intalled (according to Microsoft).What do you think guys? Is the drive faulty? Sometimes when playing a pre-recorded dvd a blank screen comes up but the dvd continues after a couple of seconds.The DVD is a Toshiba SD M1612.Bernard

...I have to ask you two things:1. Why no World Wind data support?2. Hmmm... Christian Buchner from Munich, right? I mean... *THAT* Christian Buchner (flowerp@eikon. etc)?!?Alessandro

Google is going to be upgrading a lot of its imagery to half meter resolution as well as accumulating the images at a much faster rate due to a new satellite launch by its data provider Digiglobe.Is this going to be of any use to us Christian or are we going to be limited by the FSX engine?http://today.reuters.com/news/articlenews....C1-ArticlePage2

Hi all,I'm posting this from a new account due to issues with my old AVSIM forum account. However, I just downloaded TileProxy Beta 6 Prerelease today and having not ever used it before I found the set-up to be relatively simple. However when I go to the start menu and click 'Load filter driver and run proxyuser' the dos window pops up but displays the following error message:"An error occured while copying file tileproxy.sys.Cannot copy file to destination directory.Click retry to retry the operation or click cancel to"No matter whether I click cancel or retry, I get another error message:"Installation failed"After that the dos window displays the following error log:Dir…

Hi, at least I ran TP and it works but not to end. The tiles which it loads is only 256x256 and in FSX it is bluuuuuuried so much.

Hi, In Avsim Community Iam new and want to say sorry if similar topic was here but I don't found it.Much people are pleased of TileProxy but I don't. I tried some installsuinstallsconfigurations and still maps are loaded VERY slow. I have 512 kbits (for some days i get 2 mb)...Today i installed MSFS X and SP1 and I tried once again to fly with Tileproxy. I was suprised today cause the percent of terrain's load went rather smooth without stopping until 48%. (Before it stops at 33 so it is progress). I attached TXT with TileProxy info. As you see it loads tiles but after something is wrong and stops. What happens?It stops on every airport (area).http://forums.avsim.net/user…

I would like to try this out but I am a bit skepticalIF I install it, can you just toggle it on and off?what should you make backups of?does it uninstall cleanly?what setting adjusments do you have to make using FS menus?does it automaically turn off autogen?how do FS airport align with the photo airports, are they close?thanks

I saw a thread over at the X-Plane.org site regarding rendering structures from aerial or satellite imagery. Don't know if it is something of interest, but I thought I would post some information here.Link for Department for Photogrammetry site:http://www.ipb.uni-bonn.de/ipb/projects/semi-automatic.htmlLink to the X-Plane Forum discussing the topic:http://forums.x-plane.org/index.php?showtopic=28421

Hello!FSX with Tileproxy active loads only 30% and stopped at this point.Then I get the Unsolicited access to .... message in the Tileproxy window. No service was shown. I have done a standard FSX Installation on a german XP PC, so I think there are no unicode problems. I've killed all possible services and prozesses but the problem still exist.What can I do?greetingsJ

You folks probably have an easy fix for this.I have set FPS lock to 20, and Fiberframes to 2.0. The Tileproxy DOS window shows about 80 percent 1000+ TPS, 10 percent 500-1000, and about 10 percent lower than 500.However, the ground textures (and terrain btw) "snap" into high resolution, progressively closer to me until they don't snap at all. I am flying the RealAir Scout (third party) at about 90kts.My computer specs are E6850 C2D at 3.0Ghz, EVGA 8800 GTS 640Mb with settings at FSX recommended, 2G ballistix RAM, 10000rpm WD raptor HDD with FSX/TP on it (and a second partition with WinXP paging file), 7500rpm WD Caviar HDD with everything else on it. I am running FSX/S…

I have published a preview version to Beta 6 on sourceforge.net - to be replaced by the final Beta 6 in a few weeks.I want to gather some feedback if the program works for all of you with and without the new watermasks enabled. This version has undergone only limited testing so far and there are a few open issues that I would like to improve until "the real Beta 6". I apologize for the versioning confusion - please regard this as a shakeout and test release leading up to Beta 6.Have a look into the proxyUser.new.INI file to find all the new options and copy them into your existing INI file. There is now a fourth commercial service supported (beginning with a capital A) bu…

This looks like a truely amazing FS addon. I have set it up and it will download form G***** and V****** E****. However after about ten mins runnig it just freezes with no warning message. I then have to end task for TP and FS but TP says that an instance is already running and so does FS. I then have to re start. I am using FSX and Beta 6 preview 2. Thank you

I finally got G***** E**** to work - set FS9 for Samedan airport in the Swiss Alps where GE has the most detailed 3D terrain - and initially I enjoyed flying in a very realistic and very sharp landscape...However, after about 20 minutes I started getting error messages from the GE server, viz.netfile: Transfer #XX resulted in redirect, retrying (1)netfile: Transfer #XX problem - giving up!netfile: was 28 a timeout was reached for transfer #XX http://kh1.g****.com), cleaning upThis resulted in the detailed view around the aircraft gradually being replaced with black rectangles.I am wondering why the "good" data in the cache file is being replaced by garbage? Is there any w…

I have used the uninstaller for tile proxy,also done a search for any files relating to tp.Each time i start fsx i get these messagesSCENERY.CFG.FILE ERROR LOCAL SCENERY DIRECTORY[TILEPROXY PHOTOREAL WORLD0000SCENERY IN SCENERY AREA 132THROUGH TO 221 NOT FOUND.I need to click each of these boxes, dozens of them to get into the sim I have deleted the photoreal folder ,i cannot find any more files that would guide me to delete the above files.I will still be using this wonderfull program at a later time.any help appreciated Don

Hi,Is it possible that there is a discrepancy between what you see in the browser and what's provided through the URL TP is using?G had extended their hi-res coverage lately. This is now seen not only on GE but also on GM, however, when I load an area with new coverage, TP still gives me the old.To be specific, I was trying to download the area around LLBG and northward. Until recently it had only lower res tiles available. Since a few days now the area IS covered (and you can see it in the browser). TP however does not download those new areas and I still get the old low-res coverage.At first I thought it was an old cached scenery and that TP for whatever reason is ignor…

Below is an excerpt from Phil Taylor's blog regarding FSX Service Pack 2. One of the items that I noticed was the fourth item, Under FSX SP2-DX9, which I have included below.From Phil's BlogHere is a list of what is in SP2 from a

Reinstalled FSX after several weeks of not simming. Installed TP beta 6 as well. This is what I observe:- TP seems smoother and the water mask works rather well (lake Leman),- Tiles load OK (50-600 tps). The water mask does its job and a load-session typically ends with a series of higher tps (400-600) and stops like it has fully loaded. Back to the sim everything is a blur. At this point, I have to unload the filter, reload the library and the scenery displays at the level reached. I start TP again, wait till it stops loading tiles, reload the library etc... Seems to be a cycle.- When I hit redirects (Google), I unload TP wait a few and re-launch. Nine times out of ten i…

I am running FS9 on a P4 3.2Gig 'puter.When I run the below configuration file , it takes some 25 minutes to load. After that, all I get is a black land area with the FS9 buildings superimposed. I would be most appreciative if someone in the forum could take a look at the file - or even email me a working config file for FS9.

Expect it isn't possible, but wondering if the French site for high res images can be accessed by Tileproxy? GE, VE, and Yahoo seem to have very little res for France (probably suspicious of Americans wanting to peek in their backyard!). Would love to fly the route we took by road a few years ago around this beautiful country.(URL is www.geoportail.fr )Rob

Hi all,First of all, Christian, thanks for this awesome tool!Am having problems obtaining photoscenery with Beta5. No tiles seem to be downloading. Have tried most of the weekend to fix the problem with following things attempted :-Antivirus and firewall programs deactivated -Set absolute path within scenery.cfg to Tileproxy scenery folder-Reinstalled Simconnect-Set drive=D: within load.bat (have FSX and FS9 installed on D:FlightFSX and D:FlightFS2004 respectively)-Have tried each of the 3 major providersA screenshot of my proxyUser shell is shown below and my proxyUser.ini file contents are shown thereafter. Any ideas what I could try to resolve the problem?"SCREEN SHOT"…
