TP stopping

Recommended Posts

I have recently had some connection problems so have not been flying with TP for a few weeks. Having got back I find that I am still having the same problem as before namely the TP shuts itself down after loading scenery (but it can also shut down during a flight). At this point the scenery becomes corrupted. It is possible to re-start TP and it will pick up from where it left off only to crash again.I am flying over Scotland using GE or VE.This is my ini file, can anyone see anything wrong?## Start a line with # to comment it out.# Turn your text editor's Word Wrapping OFF for editing this document.## Read the manual for help with configuration.

Hi Hilton,I assume you are using FSX?What I noticed is your max_lod= is set at "16" which is 60cm/pixel resolution. That's a real bandwidth clogger even if your connection is good. Try lowering it to "max_lod=15" (1.1m/pixel) or even "max_lod=14" (2.3m/pixel) and see how you fare.Also you have both "water_blending=" and "water_smoothing=" set to the "on" position. This is not recommended. The ini file clearly states:----"Recommendation: FSX users: Use water_blending=on, water_smoothing=off to get soft land/water transitions"--------"FS9 users: Use water_blending=off, water_smoothing=on to get hard land/water transitions which Tileproxy tries to match pixel-exact against coast-lines"--------"Combining water_smoothing and water_blending is discouraged. It's slow and gives weird results."----Perhaps the combination of these two factors in association with a possible connection problem have caused your "freezing".-Ed

Thanks Ed for replying,I am using Vista 32. I will try the FS9 recommendation. The infuriating thing is that I have had this working once. I have been so pre-occupied with getting my broadband running again (3 BT telephone engineers later) that I have forgotten what changes I have made in the past.ThanksBernard

If your using FS9, then you may as well set your "max_lod=" level at "max_lod=13" (4.75m/pixel) as that is the maximum resolution available in FS9. Vista sometimes exhibits a few quirks with TP, so if you're using it for the first time with the program it's recomended you disable your Vista "User Account Control" (UAC) as outlined here: http://www.petri.co.il/disable_uac_in_windows_vista.htm Also, if you wish, the FS9 version of the ini file from the tutorial is pre-configured specifically for FS9 users so if you have any other problems, you may want to try that file just for good measure. Just change the map service to your desired one and you're good to go...Good Luck and Happy Landings!-Ed

I think I now have the problem sorted. I am using Vista and the recommended settings for FSX work just fine. No more crashes from TP. The settings for FS9 produce horrible blocky coastlines.UAC was disabled a long time ago as were all the restrictive file access permissions that the system would let me change. I think Vista is a pain in the rectum, end of.Thanks for your help Ed.Bernard
