Same problem for me. I found that if I load the 747 then load the default aircraft and then load the 747 again (all in the same sim session), it resolves the problem, but not sure why? Followed installation procedure (several times) per the guideline. P3D v3 and fsuipc v4 still working following the installation with the new installer. I am wondering whether the operating system plays a role for those that have it working? I am using Win 7 64 bit. Happy to try out any suggestions. Richard

I am having the same problem but it is linked to the automatic pause at TOD. When I return the next morning to resume the flight and commence the descent, after activating VNAV the RoD is huge followed by oil temp and then oil pressure rise together with other system anomalies and eventual engine failure Richard

Wes, Absolutely would love to see the blue, white and orange livery as a "Lebombo" back in the sky or alternatively one in the 1996 Atlanta Olympic team 747 paint scheme - broke my heart when they tore up that beauty. Thank you for all your effort to make these ZS liveries for us, Richard

Hello,Thanks to the operating manual for the J41, I am able to calculate V1, VR etc. but how do I know what rwy length is required and the corrections for density, rwy surface contamination, rwy slope, wind etc? Does PMDG provide documentation on this?Thanks,Richard Ehlers

You guys are good, very good. Thanks. Just when one thinks one has it all in the bag, one learns something new. I've also read a lot about FOC and it looks very professional and like another good investment - very useful for making go/no go calls during flight when considering a divert.Thanks for these tips - looking forward to giving them a try,Richard Richard Ehlers

Hello,I have set up the FMC for a flight from A to B but when enroute I need to divert to an alternate airport. How do I go about setting up the alternative ICAO in the FMC so as to make it part of the ARRIVALS page? I have read the PDF on FMC and it describes how to make flight plan changes e.g. entering a new NAV FIX but does not go into entering a new DEST?Any tips or links would be appreciated,Richard EhlersCore i940 MSI X58 Pro | 6Gb Kingston 1600DDR3 | Geforce 285 2Gb | Windows 7

Hi Aaron,Thanks for your time taken to explain this to me - I am glad to hear this is a feature and will read up on this in more depth,Richard

Hello,I am using FSX with SP2 and the 747-400X and am noticing auto retraction of flaps sometimes prior to takeoff and at other times on approach - is this is feature or a setting that I could deactivate.Falcon RaeCore i940 MSI X58 Pro | 6Gb Kingston 1600DDR3 | Geforce 285 2Gb | Windows 7

Chris,Not sure if this helps, but the problem I described above has been resolved. This is my setup :FS2004 installed as D:FlightFS2004FSX installed as D:FlightFSXTileProxy Photoreal World was installed as D:FlightTileProxy Photoreal Worldand no tiles were downloading after version 4 of Tileproxy. After moving the TileProxy Photoreal World installation to be set asD:TileProxy Photoreal Worldthe problem was resolved, i.e. tiles started downloading again....Regards,Richard

Christian,Do you know which part/component of XP is responsible for this "on the fly" copying mechanism. I assume there is some driver/library which may be failing which would probably be resolved with a new O/S installation.I would like to sort this out especially if future versions of Tileproxy would support this functionality.Richard

Christian,See the attached screenshot. It only does this the first time I start Tileproxy console after installation, no longer thereafter. Is this what you were referring to?Still no tiles were downloaded though.For my info, I have both the .bgl and .bgl.on files located in the /scenery folders at any one time (which doesn't seem to make sense, or?).When the .bgl.on copies over the .bgl file to remove the transparency, what happens to the original .bgl file i.e. so that it can be used again for the default setup - does the .bgl get backed up prior to copying over it with the .bgl.on?Richard

Thanks for the Process Monitor tip Christian - I ran it and saw that textures were loading from the /FSX/Scenery/World/textures path despite the scenery.cfg file explicitly defining the path to the Tileproxy folder. What could be causing FSX to ignore the scenery.cfg entries?For reference, I uninstalled Beta5 and went back to Beta4 installation (no 64bit, no 100-150 optimisation, no upgrade installation, no FSX SP1 support, active FS9 selection) and the tiles straight away start downloading. Verify with Process Monitor, the path to Tileproxy is active and referenced by FSX. Returning to Beta5 and the problem returns. I am wondering if this has something to do with the fact that XP SP2 is installed on physical drive C and FSX/FS2004/Tileproxy is installed on physical drive D (but still not sure why it works with Beta4)Richard

Hi all,First of all, Christian, thanks for this awesome tool!Am having problems obtaining photoscenery with Beta5. No tiles seem to be downloading. Have tried most of the weekend to fix the problem with following things attempted :-Antivirus and firewall programs deactivated -Set absolute path within scenery.cfg to Tileproxy scenery folder-Reinstalled Simconnect-Set drive=D: within load.bat (have FSX and FS9 installed on D:FlightFSX and D:FlightFS2004 respectively)-Have tried each of the 3 major providersA screenshot of my proxyUser shell is shown below and my proxyUser.ini file contents are shown thereafter. Any ideas what I could try to resolve the problem?"SCREEN SHOT"Directory is D:FlightFSXTileProxy on drive D:ATTACH successful...

I installed the 800/900 over the weekend and since then have not been able to get the mouse working on the overhead panel in both 2D and VC. I tried checking if the 600/700 were still working, but there too, the mouse no longer works in the overhead panel, since the 800/900 installation.Any suggestions to troubleshoot this?Thanks,RichardSystem spec :Win XP, FS2004 UK version, Intel 3.2 GHz, MSI 865PE Neo 2 FIS2R, ATI 9800 Pro, Corsair TwinX DDR500 1GB RAM, WD36GB 10000rpm RAID 0 setup, Audigy 2 ZS sound
