Hi guys,Complete newbie here. Just wanted to post a general question with regards to my pc spec and whether it can cope with tileproxy's processes. Relatively new to FSX and just installed Tileproxy Beta 8 a couple of days ago. Currently my tile access per second is hovering between 25 to 65 averaging about 40 and i am wondering whether this is normal for my pc spec or are there any tweaks or tips to improve my tile access performance. My internet connection speed hovers on average at 8 mbit/s so connection should not be a problem. Below are specs for my pc and os as well as my proxy.ini and FSX cfg files. Thank you in advance for any replies. Much appreciated. My pc spec are as follows:AMD ATHLON II X2 2452.90 Ghz, 2.00 GB RAMNVIDIA GeForce 9500 GT1GB Video RamOS:WINDOWS XP PROService Pack 3 ## 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.

Overall your setting are reasonable and very much like mine, but we're both underpowered for ideal results. Tileproxy has to process so much image data that low-end systems need to be very conservative. Each level of resolution requires the scenery tiles to be 4 times larger than the previous so high resolutions require massive amounts of data transfer and processing.From 1500' and up, 2 meter imagery is probably adequate so I limited myself to max_lod=14The default cache_bytes_limit=1000000000 can probably be raised to 500 MB# The value below states 500 MB.cache_bytes_limit=5000000000I had my virtual memory set to 4GB; when it gradually filled to 2GB, I'd shut down FSX and restart; if I let it fill to 4, FSX would shut down anyway.I typically made scenery initially with scenery range set to medium and adjusted to larger range only afterward when there was less processing needed; typical airspeed making scenery was 60-80kts.Keeping the HDD where the photoreal world scenery folder and caches are located defragged will help with data access time.Loyd

Hi Loyd,I just want to let you know that after reconfiguring my proxy.ini cfg file according to your suggestions, i'm getting about 80 to 110 tile access frames per second now which is more than i could ever hope for with the spec that i have so i thank you very much.regardsgaza
