OS Windows 7 64 bit / FSX Need help trying to make Tile Proxy work. I disable UAC and also the signature driver thing. Tile Proxy seem to work so far up to the point where it says ready for takeoff. The problem Im having is when I load a fligh at first tile proxy shows to load some tiles but immediately after it switch back and forth from loading tiles to a message that says Tile API: Unable to create cache folder. FSX will load the scenery but sometimes Im flying over water surrounded by low resolution tiles or Ill be flying over high resolution tiles surrounded by water. I own UTX and try to disable it but the problem persisted. At other times I see high res tiles 10 miles away from me while flying over an area where land is supposed to be and it is all water. If anybody has encounter this type of problem I would greatly apprecite the help.

I had a similar issue when I installed Tileproxy....I have a 64 bit system too but using FS9 and Windows XP Pro. On my hard drive, I have two "Program Files" folders - one says just that and the other says "Program Files (x86). My scenery cache folder was being directed to the first one, not the one which has (x86) after it. Go into your ProxyUser. ini - under your selected service and see where your cache folder is being directed. If you have the same kind of set up as mine, it needs to be sent to the other Program Files (x86) folder. I had to manually create my folder under the main FS9 directory, too, if I remember correctly.Hope this helps you.Robert

Thanks for responding to my post, I was able to get rid of the error message. However I still can't figure out how to fix the problem with the tiles not loading correctly.

Although I'm depending on aging memory now, I think I had something like this when installing on XP two years ago.During the course of the install you are asked for some locations: The program, the world sceenery and the caches (I think).I'm slowly migrating to W7 (Acelleration is fully functional but TP is not installed yet here); I will set up TP on W7 the same way as XP:Install location C:\TileproxyWorld scenery: sole occupant of a 80G drive that can be defragged as needed in a few minutes (not some 500G or 1T drive that will take 3 days to do).Cache Location: another 80G drive that will hold only the working (current) cache... E:\cacheAtlantic or E:\cacheEuropeSouthWhat I had when it "couldn't create cache folders" was this...The install didn't create the expected main cache folder(s) so the actual failure being encountered was the 1000 subfolders that are created as needed for the actual image tiles didn't have anything to be 'attached' to.You may have to create caches manually but TP then fills them with 1000 subfolders worth of imagery.E:\CacheE:\Cache\000E:\Cache\001E:\Cache\002E:\Cache\003.E:\Cache\998E:\Cache\999The original .ini read something like thiscache_folder=E:\1or cache_folder=1there was no E:\ServiceCache1Once I manually made a cache folder and insured that the ini line matched (cache_folder=E:\ServiceCache1) it worked like it should.It doesn't matter a bit what the caches are named or where they are; so long as the .ini has that exact location specified, it should work.And for Win7, don't put anything in the default Program folders that you want to have control over; you will surely be needing to edit the .ini occasionally, and Windows seems to complain about editing just about anything. If you are still just getting started, it might be a good idea to reinstall to "outside" folders and steer clear of default locations.Loyd

The best solution i found :Just replace the string : "Program Files" by "Program FIles (x86)" in the ProxyUser. ini.@ bientot ++

Had the same 'unable to...' error message. The cache was directed to my E:\ drive.

What I did was removing the old cache files from E:\, created a E:\TPcache folder, and voila, the message was gone.
