Hey! My TP downloads black tiles. I replaced the original config file with pre-configurated file... didnt work. I tried to replace serive, didnt work too.Any solution, please?

What OS? XP, Vista, Win7What Sim? FS9, FSX? Are you getting any error message in the DOS window at startup to suggest that TP is not running properly? FS9 has occasional issues with black tiles. I never got it to work with FS9 but there are some older posts containing suggestions for dealing with that issue. Windows 7 has it's own issues with not allowing the TP driver to run because it is an unsigned driver and blocked from running. There are several posts over the previous months also dealing with this issue. I had no issues with XP (32bit) and FSX (SP1)I have not reinstalled on my Win7+Acceleration installation. Black tiles might have been created when you originally started with the first .ini. If you go to the same location with a new .ini file, new scenery should have been created. You probably should look first in the active cache folder with Windows search feature and see if you are actually downloading new image tiles when you start up your sim. If not, then no scenery can be made. Loyd

I have Win 7 64 bit, and I followed the instruction how to sign the driver and it works. I dont get any error from TP, just black tiles.

I guess you should post your proxyuser.ini and let's see if there's anything wrong... The easiest way to check results is to be at some very specific place so I can tell you what image names to expect and what scenery tiles names and sizes to expect. To that end, save a flight at KFCA as a default flight. Start TP (at 2.4m or better resolution) and FSX. By time the scenery loading is complete, you should have all the necessary images and scenery done. look for newly saved image tiles in your cache:cache\824\tile_l16_x11968_y42840.jpgcache\825\tile_l16_x11969_y42840.jpgcache\826\tile_l16_x11970_y42840.jpgcache\823\tile_l16_x11968_y42839.jpgcache\824\tile_l16_x11969_y42839.jpgcache\825\tile_l16_x11970_y42839.jpgcache\822\tile_l16_x11968_y42838.jpgcache\823\tile_l16_x11969_y42838.jpgcache\824\tile_l16_x11970_y42838.jpgThe scenery tile made from these and nearby images should in the TileProxy Photoreal World scenery 0201 subfolder and named 001222132021020SU.BMP and be 340k or larger in size. Scenery tiles are muli-LOD and can only be viewed with appropriate viewers -such as the one provided in the SDK. Loyd

OK, solve the problem by updating the maps version. Thank you, guys for your help.

Hello, Seems a lot of folks are having the same problem with Black tiles being loaded up. I think I have quite a severe case of it, The installation went fine and I used the INI file downloaded separately. However I have had since yesterday large black not just tiles but areas around where I live which is where I like to fly. I've been awake for 30 hours so far trying every suggested fix and I have lost count of how many times I've re booted my PC. In brief I have tried altering the INI to not limit amount of info downloaded, I've tried all the different Service lists, Well 1 + 3 as I've read they are the only ones that work, I've enabled unsigned drivers, Tried with and without security features (firewall and anti virus) I've re installed tileproxy from scratch along with fsx, All this and still I have huge black areas!!!I really really want this to work as its an awesome bit of kit if it does from the snippets of good I've seen. I have no idea how to post my pictures of the phenomenon, If someone would please please please help then I can post some on here and see if my problem can be solved. People of Avsim you are my last resort and only hope to enjoy what should be an amazing and supported payware product. All this cloak and dagger legal issue stuff bogs down progress in my book. following is the current INI file[TileProxy] master_enable=Onlogfile="C:\logfile.txt"diskless_mode=Offoffline_mode=Nomax_lod=15preload_min_lod=9preload_max_lod=15max_contexts=512water_mask=Onwater_blending=Onblend_distance=500.0blend_exponent=1.0alpha_min=0.2678alpha_max=0.7water_rgb=#000D1Awater_smoothing=Offwater_threshold=0.33cache_bytes_limit=100000000cache_tiles_limit=0 # The currently active service is configured here.

I have this too, and I notice that Proxyuser fills up all the "eggs", completely with crosses except the first egg, which it never touches. At this point, Proxyuser goes on searching, apparently fruitlessly, and never disappears off the screen. When I climb to 2000ft I can see the black hole I'm in, but further out there is visible scenery. This is apparent in Services 1 and 3, and started occurring yesterday (Sept 7)

Its soo annoying as the potential enjoyment is huge if its working properly.

As an update to the condition of my Tileproxy, It would appear that it will load up the area around whichever airport I fly from and then not refresh itself when I leave the circle that loaded, anywhere outside the loaded circle will appear green and low res from afar and when I get there it will try to load but only produce black tiles. If anyone knows how to fix this please please let me know. cheers, murray

Turns out for me it was mainly yahoo that was shite, I didn't think it was possible but they have a huge area of the north of wales and slightly further inland that has no good level of detail for it so thats why mine was black in large areas. also the stuff that was detailed had clouds in the pics so I've stopped using it and gone for service pack one.
