Hello Simmers,after long-haul sessions my tiles cannot be erased anymore. Everytime I start the added tool in which you can erase tiles there is a window saying that it is not possible to delete files in this certain folders.What to do ? I have already tried to solve it with administrator rights ( I am using Vista ) but it`s no use.Any hints ??

I assume you are not trying to delete while TP or FSX is still running1st hint: NEVER install anything you intend to access/use/modify in PROGRAM FILES. Not FSX, not TileProxy, not any add-on utility.2nd hint: you may be able to MOVE files in Vista that you cannot edit and save or delete - try just "moving" them to the trash basket (drag and drop), or move to desktop and try deleting them from there manually.3rd hint: see if you can delete scenery after TOTALLY disabling UAC, or try running the utility "as Administrator".I have Win7 with UAC totally disabled and FSX on a different HDD but working with a friend on Vista with FSX in "Program Files", we have to MOVE his aircraft.cfg files to desktop to edit, then move them back to the correct folder. what a pain in the mouse!If the workarounds don't, then I'd recommend reinstalling TP in a folder maybe on the root drive...mine wasC:\TileProxy (application folder)D:\TileProxy Photoreal world ( scenery folder )cache files on numerous other drives and partitions.None of this should be in program files as you can now see.If you remove and reinstall, a couple of more hints.The only record of the cache file locations is in the proxyuser.ini. If you INSURE that no copy of any user.ini is available to the uninstall program, it should leave them intact and you may not have to re-download any of the same imagery, only rebuild the scenery in the new location.Loyd

Thanx for your recommendations :-)I have now tried everything you wrote without sucess. Actually it seems that the issue is caused by this strange Microsoft .net framework (sometimes this item appeared in the `mistake windows` ).Can I just delete the 2 folders cache.service 1 and 2 - or just the numerous ones within the 2 folders, meaning e.g. 001 to 999 ?? Which folders will be recreated in the next session ?

The scenery you see with TileProxy are the bmp files in the photoreal world\texture folders. The images in the caches are the downloaded jpg files that are used to make the actual bitmap scenery files.There are TWO utilities dealing with these files in TileProxy: The cache viewer shows the layers of downloaded jpg files on a world map. You can zoom in to areas and show specific layers and locations and delete specific layers in very specific areas. If you previously downloaded service 1 in a particular area but now want to use service 2, you would use the CacheViewer utility to delete just the imagery that you want to replace.When you change settings in the proxyuser.ini, you WILL generally erase the scenery and rebuild it with the new settings and be using the newly downloaded images.You must delete cached files in order to make scenery using a different service but only in the area that you are flying in. You do not have do delete everything unless you want to.The utility to delete scenery files is universal (by default) and erases all the scenery you've previously made. It DOES NOT delete the downloaded imagery itself, so you must delete both types of files if you want to start over.Do not delete anything in any of the photoreal world/scenery folders; only in the photoreal world/TEXTURE folders.Loyd
