Just wondering, must you have broadband to use Tile Proxy or will dial up suffice. I am concerned regarding load time.Thanks.

TileProxy Beta 3 will actually support modem dialup. ;)No just kidding, but beta 3 offers an option to tweak network timeout options as well as the number of simultaneous tile requests. So in principle it will support slow network connections.BUT: You'd have to leave the program sitting there and downloading tiles for a few hours before you can even start your flight. And once you fly, there is no chance it updates the scenery fast enough as you move along. Maybe if you get some slow moving "hot air balloon" or "zeppelin" addon or something alike.

For 72 Megs, my old dial-up modem would take about 12 hours. So the answer is why bother One disconnect and all the hours are waisted anyways...al

I believe with the FSX SP1 and TileProxy Beta 3 much less data has to be downloaded. I haven't done benchmarks yet, but I think it may be less than half of what the Beta1 and Beta2 versons of Tileproxy accessed.

Whoa - you mean TileProxy does not cache the tiles it downloads? You have to re-download them every time you fly? Surely that can't be true?If that's not the case, I'm not sure why the "hours would be wasted" after a disconnect :/

I was talking mainly about the performance improvement in TileProxy - anything regarding the FSX SP1 of course is purely speculative... or you might just look it up in Phil Taylor's blog. ;)Just expect that stuff works better.

"Just expect that stuff works better"Now THAT would make README contents that my small cro-magnon brain could easily understand.....has just such a nice...ring to it!I can see it now in a Guinness commercial...."Stuff that works better?!... BRILLIANT!":) Thanks!
