  1. Yup, same problem here, Solution: AutoFPS was showing a "not latest level" message, which I clicked on to update it then all was well. (close FS2020 before running the update)
  2. CTD here also. After installing the recent small update, I now get CTDs whenever starting FS2020. My symptoms are that the "Checking for updates" screen is displayed for an inordinately long time, then FS2020 begins loading normally then CTDs. What is the proper proceedure to diagnose and report such a failure? Thanks for any advice, RobertR

  4. Christian,First, I want thank you for the contributions that TileProxy has made to my real-world VFR flying. TileProxy has eliminated a great deal of the anxiety associated with landing at unfamiliar airports by allowing me to pre-fly those arrivals while seeing the actual roads, highway intersections, buildings and landmarks. I also feel safer because I feel familiar when entering the area.Now to my question: Would you consider developing a version of TileProxy that acts as a scenery
  5. Cessna's new light sport aircraft looks very interesting. For more info, see: http://www.cessnaskycatcher.com
  6. Amazing. Tis a small world indeed.You could just spell your product's name with a capital "P", like: "TileProxy" or "Tile Proxy", and possibly add "for Microsoft Flight Simulator".Whatever, thanks for such a wonderful tool.Robert
  7. Thanks for both your response and your explanation, Christian.May I ask a follow up question? If the highest reasonable FSX resolution when using TileProxy is 1m/pixel, does that imply that there is no value to setting max_lod to anything higher than 15? Also, for service2, what are the reasonable min_level and max_level settings for 1m/pixel?Thanks,Robert
  8. When flying over the Google campus in Mountain View California, I am unable to achieve in FSX the same level of detail that is available on Google maps. Can someone tell me what is TileProxy's highest level of detail when running on FSX, and also provide suggestions for the TileProxy and FSX settings needed to achieve that level of detail?Any thoughts or suggestions will be appreciated.Cheers,Robert
  9. Running the cleanup.bat script (documented in the User Manual) made my FSX + SP1 TileProxy scenery as clear, or clearer than that of FSX without SP1.My story:I have a dual-boot system with FSX + TileProxy installed on one partition, and FSX + SP1 + TileProxy installed on the other. Both installations are configured exactly the same, and both installations use the same TileProxy cache folder.The quality of the TileProxy scenery on the FSX + SP1 installation has consistently been of lower quality than that on the FSX without SP1 installation - looking blurry... rather like the wrong level of texture was loaded. Pausing the FSX + SP1 simulation and refreshing its scenery made little or no improvement.Long story short
  10. I agree. Rod is a great guy but his jokes get in the way of learning, and the flight lessons themselves are buggy.If it helps, back in mid-2005 Doug Horton did a Computer Pilot magazine series on working through the Microsoft Flight Simulator

  12. All,Thanks for your help and advice. Our graphics card upgrade went smoothly, and our old 3ghz P4 AGP system has been transformed from a usable FSX platform into a into a good performing platform
  13. Craig,Thanks for posting the Video Driver Installation Instructions. We have successfully used these instructions in the past, and we appreciate the amount of effort that it took to create them.Cheers,Robert
  14. Allcott, Thanks for the suggestion to reinstall the nVidia drivers after installing the card - good idea. We will do that and we will also reinstall DirectX.Thanks again,Robert
  15. Are there any FSX tips when installing a new graphics card?I would appreciate any advice that will lead to FSX properly recognizing and configuring a new graphics card.We will soon upgrade one of our AGP FSX systems from an nVidia 5900XT to an nVidia 7600GT, and the system is already at the driver level that we intend to use (93.71).Our thoughts are to remove the 5900XT from the XP Device Manager, to shutdown the system, to replace the card, and to then power up. Make sense? And, our main question is: do we need to do anything to ensure that FSX recognizes the new card and takes advantage of its new features? Do we need to either force display.cfg to be regenerated or to add to it a new entry for the 7600GT? Is there anything else that we should do?Thanks,Robert

  17. Can any of you bright folks provide suggestions for the DiskTrix UltimateDefrag configuration settings which will provide the best FSX performance? I
  18. Thanks for your quick response, J.C.; it will undoubtedly save others from many hours of wasted experimentation.
  19. Has anyone successfully imported into FSX any FS9 aircraft that use the Reality XP Garmin GNS 430XP? I
