Hi , I am a keen photoscenery user, I feel the stocK FSX scenery and autogen, just looks terrible. I have been very impressed with the screeny's I have seen of tileproxy in action, it looks as good as my megascenery. I have some quick questions:1) In relation to my machine specs, how should tile proxy run?2) I have a 8mb internet connection DSL, is this ok? 3) I run Vista64, how problematical is it going to be to get tileproxy up and running?4) Where can I find the best download service for the images? 5) what is the realistic top speed of flying you can do? I primarily fly vfr in small aircraft. My primary enjoyment in FSX is the scenery and feeling of "being there", so fast texture loading and crisp scenery is very important to me.6) Is there anywhere I can find set up and tweaking tips for using the application? (aside from the manual!) Thanks in advance, Mark

http://www.edtruthan.com/tileproxy/tutorial/ is a good site to start with I suppose.And you can use http://www.flashearth.com/ to see what the scenery detail will look like. Obviously if you want the good close up stuff, Tileproxy goes up to 30cm, then you're asking a lot if you're going over 100 mph, you'll be too fast for the streaming, but once you've downloaded the stuff, it's cached so loads in quicker next time. Personally I just use 1m or even 2m when flying around in jets, the 30cm is good for using the trike or helicopters and generally staying around the same area but you best use Flashearth to see if the area does that resolution first. I can fly with 30cm over 100mph no problems.I only have a P4 and Geforce 6 with 1 and half gig of memory and it works good for me. I don't use Tileproxy's settings that it adds to fsx.cfg though, it doesn't really work on my PC. I get better results if I just delete the fsx.cfg after installing tileproxy and just use the TextureBandMult= 40 setting only, TP uses 400. I get crisp scenery and if any area blurs slightly through overspeeding then it quickly snaps back. If I try anything above 40 then I get blurs longer.Try it out, it's free

Hi, the link was great , thx. Seems you tailor it to fit pretty well.If using Vista, do you have to use the boot up run any driver hack everytime you run using tileproxy,or just when you install it?

1) In relation to my machine specs, how should tile proxy run? FINE2) I have a 8mb internet connection DSL, is this ok? ANYTHING OVER 2MB IS FINE3) I run Vista64, how problematical is it going to be to get tileproxy up and running? SOME HAVE HAD ISSUES BUT THEY ARE ALL SOLVABLE4) Where can I find the best download service for the images? SERVICE 1 FOR EUROPE SERVICE 3 FOR NORTH AMERICA5) what is the realistic top speed of flying you can do? I primarily fly vfr in small aircraft. My primary enjoyment in FSX is the scenery and feeling of "being there", so fast texture loading and crisp scenery is very important to me. TRY IT AND SEE. YOU WILL SOON FIND OUT WHAT THE LIMITATIONS OF YOUR SYSTEM ARE. YOU CAN EXPERIMENT WITH SOME OF THE SETTINGS IN THE FSX CFG AND THE PROXYUSER INI FILES. LEVEL MAPPING MAKES QUITE A DIFFERENCE6) Is there anywhere I can find set up and tweaking tips for using the application? (aside from the manual!)MANUAL IS THE BEST BUT YOU NEED TO READ IT A COUPLE OF TIMES AND THEN USE IT AS A REFERENCE WHEN YOU ARE EXPERIMENTING WITH DIFFERENT SETTINGS. THIS FORUM IS ALSO USEFUL AS ARE ED TRUTHANS PAGES.Hope this is of help. IAN

Very, thank you very much!!I have a quick question arising from reading Christians tutorial, relating to tweaking settings in the .cfg file. I have been looking at ways of improving my "photoscenery experience " with FSX since i first discovered it ( only recently!) I dont run autogen and have discovered by trial and error many of the things you tile proxy guys already knew, such as using a high setting for TBM.In the guide, Christian recommends using the fibre frame time tweak and setting it to value 2 in some circumstances. Does this still hold true and will it help using normal photosceneries as well? Reason i ask is this quote from Phil Taylors blog : http://blogs.msdn.com/ptaylor/archive/2007...f-the-week.aspxWhat is the up to date situation regarding this?And do you guys also have any experience of combining the TBM, LODradius and FFRT tweaks together? Can you get good results from a combination?I am going to try and get set up with this over the next few days. Could you just elaborate a bit on service 3 ? I googled it but came up with nothing resembling an imaging service....Thx for the input, Mark

Service 3 is the map service that begins with Y. It's the one that's preconfigured to use if you download Edtruthan's ini file from his website.Use http://www.flashearth.com/ and it shows you the detail of that one and VE. Zoom into an area using flashearth then click either one and changes it on the fly to compare. I use service 1 but mainly fly in Europe.The FIBER_FRAME_TIME_FRACTION kills my not very powerful machine when near default scenery or airports if I use the 1.33 setting, I just use 0.33 or delete the line.For TBM I find just using 40 gives me less blurries but it may be better on a modern pc to up that.For the LOD radius, I use small. It loads faster into TP as there are smaller rings to fill and I honestly see no difference. You're better off messing with the level mapping rather than upping that.

Hallo!I

In the FSX.cfg fileIAN
