    Hi, I am a new user of TileProxy. I followed Ed Truthan`s guide to install it on FS9. Everything went pretty good, I start FS9, TP recognizes it, I load a flight but I get the standard scenery... In TP window I can see it doesn`t load any tile, but I don`t see any error message or something... I am using Ed Truthan`s preconfigured proxyuser.ini file. I have also disabled antivirus and firewall. Can yo help me, please? This problem is driving me crazy... Thanks.

    TileProxy works fine for me. But when I go to the Grand Canyon in Arizona, the only scenery I get is the default Microsoft scenery which is terrible. Tile Proxy works fine in Sedona, a beautiful site just south of Grand Canyon National Park. But head north and the default scenery takes over. A real mystery to me. Does anyone know what is going on?

    Hi All, two questions if I may, separate but sort of linked. 1. On my 4.5Mbps connection I may not always get all the tiles loaded but I'm assuming if a fly a route / area a number of times the cache will slowly build up? 2. Thanks to replies to another post I have only just become aware of the map_version setting in proxyuser.ini. If I am right with my assumption in question 1, then how does that work? Presumably any cached tiles from "old version fights" will be replaced if map_version is updated so there is a trade off, particularly if the cache is relied upon. You can see where this is going!! Can anyone enlighten me on the above please. Many thanks. …

  7. Hi All, I have used Ed Truthan's default proxyuser.ini file but have adjusted to use Bing maps as flash earth shows that to be better than yahoo for my area (SW England). I don't know what the resolution is for my area is but the detail of Bing in a web browser is good and property can be identified, even cars on drives (vaguely). However in FSX even with max_lod at 17 (I have tried 15 and 16) the detail even when crawling along with the ultralight is nowhere near the map detail. The scenery from say 2,000 ft is ok, roads can be identified and such, but I was hoping for more. Am I doing something or is my expectation the problem? Thanks for any help.

    After loading TP I have textures in black color everywhere, except the runways and airports buildings. It happens everywhere, not in a particular part of the world. Any idea?

    Hello guys, I recently installed TileProxy and start messing with. I managed to make it work even with the NGX but in middle flight its stops cause the memory is full. I guess I will not be doing very long flights. Anyway, this is not what I'm here for. The thing is I have UTX and I would like some of the features to be visible, like roads bridges and such. Do you know if this is possible? Do you know witch is the order that the "worlds" scenery folders should be? Thanks in advance.

    For those considering use of Tileproxy in FS9, it can be done and it can look fairly nice. There's some things you can do to optimize the experience: 1. Limit Visibility to 30 miles. In conjunction with my Proxyuser.ini, which is posted below, you can have smooth textures to the Horizon. Also use an environment add-on like my freeware package, Soft Horizons or something similar. Soft Horizons for FS9 can be found in the file library. 2. Limit FS9 framerates to 30fps or lower. That will give the cpu rendering power to render the textures. 3. Set up a proxyuser.ini, Tileproxy install folder, and shortcut to the batch file within. Note my proxyuser.ini u…

  21. Hello people. I recently stumbled upon TileProxy which is a very cool idea and project (downloading now), and cant wait to see it. I am just curious about a couple things; 1: Why haven't I heard about TP before? I mean, I use Prepar3D (switched from fsx) and I have never heard of it in my 2 years (not that long i know) of simming. I would've imagined that this would be a program everybody uses! 2: Are there any disadvantages? Im kind of an FPS freak so I always aim high. I currently have an i5 2500K @4.5ghz, 8GB ram, AMD 6870 1gb... (In all i have a good comp), and I have tweaked my Prepar3d config file so that i have good frames, however when I use aerosoft chica…
