    So I know there are blurrys everywhere. but it seems like it's sharp in one section then never really loads the rest. Anyone fixed this problem through a tweak or some other method?My problem is this. When I start or in the general area when I refresh the scenery it is crystal sharp. Then as I fly in the piper cub even it starts to get more blurry the farther I go from when I refreshed. Then when I fly say 20 miles away from where I started it's so blurry you can't even make out what it is. It's like the scenery is not focusing at all unless I refresh.Any ideas?

  2. Hi Christian,I haven't tried Beta 5 yet (running Beta 4) but, before I do, I wonder whether you have any tips for ways to encourage stubborn hires texture tiles to appear? In one of the areas I am exploring there are several spots where, try as I might, I can't get these textures to display. Very frustrating.http://forums.avsim.net/user_files/173817.jpgI tried moving the relevant jpegs out of the cache folder but, perhaps not surprisingly, that had no effect. Identifying the relevant bmps is another matter altogether which makes it difficult to force a rebuild without deleting the entire content of the relevant area folder. This does work (see image below), but it is not …

    Beta 5. Get it while it's hot and before it becomes moldy...Let me know if things don't work as expected. I wasn't ableto do the FSX RTM regression testing this time, as my wifeis currently occupying the other PC for watching chinesemovies ;)Things that I DID NOT manage to get into this release are:- Support for Autogen annotation (starting the SDK's annotator tool)...- improvements for the installer (validating the user's choices)- suppression of white tiles in the ocean (around islands etc)But among the new features that you will get are:- an additional supported map service (Y.....!)- performance improvements for SP1 users (compared to Beta 4)- an ingame menu in FSX SP…

    Hi there,Basically I have VFR Generation X Photo Scenery installed and I noticed there is no texture sub-folder in any of these sceneries, however there are large .bgl files in the scenery folders.I take it this is because its using the FSX type standard of scenery.I know TP uses the FS9 standard (thousands of bmps in the texture folder).My question is, is there anyway to convert what TP has already downloaded, into this standard FSX type scenery, because I get no blurries at all with Gen X even at 300+ knots, however Im still affected by blurries in TP even with a fibre frame of 2.5 and in a microlight.it starts of great but after 5 mins i start getting blurries requirin…

    Near Frasier Park, California I found proof that Yahoo! Maps uses material from the NAPP program, but post-colorized. You can clearly see the letters NAPP in one ground section ;)So Yahoo! have post-colorized the black & white footage from the NAPP (and possible NHAP) surveys - just like I did with the color_hack option for Virtual Earth.Cool.

    Where are the default latitude and longitude setting located in FSX?I notice when TP starts after starting FSX it lists the default Lat and long. for Friendly Harbor, although I start in Oklahoma City. Tiles come up Ok, but wonder if it would be better if it started using the lat and long for OKC?

    ive downloaded the fsx config and proxyuser files that bramski supplied and also applied the settings that he suggested but i still only get about 30 TPS while the scenery is originally loading. The highest i got was 200 TPS right at the very beginning but then it progressively lowered as the scenery continued to load. This causes the simulator to load up very slow. Is there any way i can increase this number up to what i hear it should be? (at least the hundreds?). I am using beta 4 and fsx RTM. I heard locking the framerate and playing with the fiber frame setting helps for in flight, but what about initial loading? any suggestions would greatly be appreciated. thanks, …

    Hello,I used Tile Prxy right before the SP1 release.. since then I've deleted the entire game, installed SP1, and enjoyed better stock FSX frame rates for some nice autogen scenery. Trouble is, I also like Tile Prxy. Since then I see there have been more TP releases. Does the latest TP beta allow you to easily switch between TP and stock FSX SP1 to suit my fancy?And does TP now have some way to delete the gazillion files in the world folder with the click of a button rather than navigating to the folder and deleting them manually from the recycle bin (which takes forever?)If so, I'll dive back in.

    Does anyone know if you can run TP from a second, SimConnect client? I run all my add-ons like FS Commander, Radar Contact, ASX etc on a second client machine using a mix of SimConnect and WideFS and it would be great to do likewise with TP so I can occassionally monitor tile download performance etc while in-flight.ThanksAndrew

    For the US, this newly supported satellite tile service provides excellent coverage in many places, including the Grand Canyon.A bit weird was that their JPEG tiles have 258x258 pixel resolution,probably to provide a bit of overlap for display in the browser.

  12. I haven't used Tile Proxy since Beta1 and before I installed SP1. I would like to use it again. From reading the forum here, it appears that most are reverting back to RTM FSX to use TP. I have SP1 and would like to keep it to use ASX. Is anyone having any success using TP Beta4 with SP1? Success meaning equivalent tile loading rates and clear textures.Christian, is Beta5 looking like it will offer any performance improvements for SP1?Ted

    Has anyone done a comparison of TP and quality commercial scenery add-ons? I know they are no comparison as regards convenience. But are they close in image quality? Gxxxx is very inconsistent in color, definition,etc, but are there cases when at its best, it even surpasses the highest quality commercial add-ons? Please educate me, hopefully with comparison shots of Hawii, England, etc. Thanks a lot!

    Hi =)it would be quite useful if TileProxi could download and process all images of all level of details for a given area (lets say a whole country for example or like a radius of x kilometers around a GPS point).Of course such a download process could take several hours.But after that, *all* textures should be available and there is no need anymore to go online ...-------------------------------------------------Freeware A380 Load Editor, flight dynamics and external Glass Cockpit software coming soon !

    Well I can only echo what everyone else has been saying and that is this little program is absolutely superb. Im a frequent FS9 flyer and I promised myself I wasn't going to get FSX until the SP1 came out and there was people shouting PERFORMANCE BOOST!!! from the heavens :)but after seeing how much fun everyone was having I couldn't resist so I ran out and got FSX.I have no trouble getting the tiles from VrrtlE or GgglE and they load in quite quickly and sharply. My problem is that after sat 15 minutes or so the textures all turn into what I can only describe as soup. I hae taken some screen grabs to illustrate my problem and I'll include my specs and settings so hopeful…
