Does anyone have an opinion on which tiles are better VE or GE?If you download from VE and then from GE in the same area which ones get loaded? Are both stored in the same world/texture folder?What is the purpose of the cache folder if all tiles are stored in the World folder?I agree we need a TileProxy sub Forum ASAP. And all Threads need to be moved to it.This wonderful little addon, combined with the Mesh Slider, a great addition to Flight Simulator, has increased my enjoyment of FSX beyond my expectations.Thanks again to Christain and the ACES Team!

Well we could have stayed in the long TileProxy threads. But for some reason, people decided to break out of it and open a new item every time a problem pops up. ;)I usually read super-long threads in linear mode. Thus it is no problem to any new posts and questions in there.Now regarding the question:I plan to save some MetaData into the BMP tiles in future version, as to from which server the tile originated. Therefore TileProxy could replace/update the tile if you have switched the service. So one World folder for both services would suffice.Right now you have to clear it out after switching services (unless you fly in entirely different regions using the different services)

I have another question:Do you have to do a "cleanup" every time if your using the same source url for tiles?al

They say beauty is in the eye of the beholder. I started with GE and liked what I saw. I deleted the cache, ran the cleanup.bat file and then reconfigured for VE. For what it's worth, I liked GE better and switched back. It wasn't that VE was bad, it was that GE just seemed sharper. I suppose a lot of it has to do with where you fly. I did my comparison in southern New Hampshire.Mike

Where GE have high detail coverage, it looks better. For all other areas, VE's black and white tiles with colorization look fairly good.

Where's the cleanup.bat file?

In version 1 it is in the World folderIn beta 2 it is in the TileProxy Photoreal World folderClicking on it activates it and it can take quite a while to delete some 76 thousand files as was the case with mine.al

So the idea is to keep the TileProxy Photoreal World folder cleared out and keep all the tiles you've downloaded in you Cache folder?Then if you are flying over an area that you've already downloaded, the tiles are in your Cache folder and not overloading your TileProxy Photoreal World folder.So TileProxy will first look in your World folder, then your Cache folder and if it can't find what's being requested in either of those folders it will then attempt to download them from the Internet.Is that how it works?

I must be looking in the wrong place. I can't find a Tileproxy Photoreal World folder. I looked in Tileproxy and in the FSX scenery folder. What am I doing wrong here?

Hi Bob,Tileproxy Photoreal World was created by Beta 2 in the parent folder of FSX. The original folder was World in the FSX main folder.George

>Hi Bob,>>Tileproxy Photoreal World was created by Beta 2 in the parent>folder of FSX. The original folder was World in the FSX main>folder.>>George>>>I still don't see it. I know it is early here but I am at least half awake. What am I missing here? I searched my entire FSX parent folder and sub folders for *.bat and did not see it.

They mean it's one level UP from the FSX folder - not inside it. The "parent" folder of FSX is "Microsoft Games". Full default path (on a US-English WinXP install) would be:C:Program FilesMicrosoft GamesThere, among other things including the "Microsoft Flight Simulator X" folder and accompanying SDK folder (if installed), you would see the folder "TileProxy Photoreal World". And inside that folder you would find lots and lots of numbered folders as well as cleanup.bat.Possibly you could use the grid system to identify and clean out just specific folders of interest and not all of them (since it's kind of a shame to go re-fetch files you already have for other areas that may look fine) but you'd have to know how the grid system works and I'm not up on that aspect. But if you're looking to wipe it all and start fresh, run cleanup.bat

Yep,, same here. No Photoreal folder in my FSX. Found it in Microsoft Games though and moved it to FSX. Clear.bat is there.John

>Yep,, same here. No Photoreal folder in my FSX. Found it in>Microsoft Games though and moved it to FSX. Why? What does this fix?You know that when you start moving folders to a different location than where the relevant program(s) installed them and expect to find them, you'll likely have some serious issues, right?

LOL,,Right Stoopy,, thats why when I read your post where that folder was really supposed to be I moved it back, and all is right now. Should have known Christians installer put folders in the right place.John
