Oh boy! Can I relate to you James! I laughed and laughed not at you but because I can relate to everything you said. I wouldn't have changed it! I too have given up on FSX. I think I have flown 3% and mucked about for 97%. I dream of the day PMDG change their mind and I am rolling down 36L prepar3d for take off! Paul

Where are the liveries? Paul

Hi Jimmy, Thank you for your reply. Paul

Hello, Thank you for taking the time to read my post. I have just purchased the following: CORSAIR Dominator Platinum 16GB (2 x 8GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Desktop Memory Model CMD16GX3M2A1600C9 Intel Core i7-4770 Haswell 3.4GHz LGA 1150 84W Quad-Core Desktop Processor Intel HD Graphics BX80646I74770 Motherboard Asus Z87-A Intel® Socket 1150 for 4th Generation Core™ i7/Core™ Asus Geforce GTX 780 3GBI am going to buy 3 SSD Samsung drives (hopefully 500GB ones) at the weekend. I intend to put Windows 7 Ulyimate 64 on one drive and leave it alone (never installing anything on it, just using it for the operating system) FSX on another drive Addon scenery on the third drive. Addon programs: REX essential (not sure where to put this) GTX programs on a network PC Will it benefit me to have the scenery on the third SSD drive? Any other suggestions I will appreciate. I scared sh....less about overclocking my processor. Is it easy to do? Am I in danger of screwing it up? Where do I begin? Thank you. Paul

Several years ago I saw a post which explained how to change the FMC text color from green to blue. Has anyone seen this post please and know where it is hiding? Thanks Paul

Hello, Several years ago I saw a post either in Avsim or the PMDG forum that told you how to change the color values in the PMDG 747 to make the text and other gauges appear blue instead of the standard green. Does anyone know where this post is hiding away? Thanks Paul

Hello Guys, Thank you for the comments. When you say "overclock" do you mean the video card or processor? If the processor how do i do it? Thank you again Paul

Hello, I just splashed out on some hardware. Will it run FSX smoothly with max settings PMDG etc? Geforce 780, 16GB and I7 series 4, SSD drives... will it be enough? Paul

Hello,Please forgive my ignorance but I am totally confused about Microsoft Flight. I must confess this mainly my ignorance but also due to confusion posts I have read.Is Flight a totally new sim or is it just a free download that is not for the "serious" simmers?Is it the case that you can only fly within a certain area and not worldwide?If it is a completely new sim , will you be able to run all the exisiting add-ons like PMDG?Thank youPaul

What is "DLC" please?Paul

Hi Loyd,What a nice response and thank you for your time! I will be honest with you. I am not IT literate. I thought I might be going a little over my head when I used the word (flush)! I didn't really know what I was talking about but I just took a stab at it and got it right (my conjecture).If you have some time I would like to chat to you on Skype but honestly, I'll understand if you don't have the time.Regards,Paul

Hello,I have been noticing that my TileProxy Photoreal World folder is increasing to a large size (over 40GB)! Is there any benefit in keeping it this large or should I flush it?Thank you for your time.Paul

Hello,Can someone please help me? I have a very powerful PC with a fiber optic connection (currently capped at 20MBs). This is what usually happens...I start a flight with TP everything is fine frame rates are on average 70fps with all sliders maxed , REX running, PMDG 747 on the runway ready to go.I take off and 10-15 minutes into a flight the clouds start appearing like squares with the MS flight simulator X logo on them. I then start to loose my textures (see attached image)sometimes they revert back and everything is OK for a while then usually REX updates and it freezes, end of game. The last image shows FSX working fine. I have tried both DirectX10 and 9I have the latest updates for all my Windows7 64bit applications and a NVIDIA GeForce GTX 480 with the latest drivers installed: GeForce/ION Driver v266.58Version: 266.58 WHQL Release Date: 18.1.2011 (beta I believe. I also use Nvidia inspector but not sure why or what it does (see screen shot for settings.Any help please?One last word it seems to be only when I run TP.ThanksPaul

Hello,Does anyone know of a module for FSX which performs the same function as the F1 View Module for FS9?Thank you,Paul

You could also try Xpax from HiFi Simulations. I use it and it is real people (well a video of them on-board)! Just do a search for HiFi Simultations.paul

Hello All,Can anyone please help me with the following (see images). I am using Directx10 and would like to stay with it.1. rain problem2. flickering, shimmering taxi linesThank you for your help.Paul

Hi Bob,You are right! I realized after that I had switched Tileproxy on!That said all sliders are max.Nice to know I am not damaging my card!Thanks,Paul

Not complaining folks but is this normal or is it damaging my card? (see pictures) All sliders, including AI traffic are at max, bloom is on, Directx 10?Regards,Paul

Hello,Can anyone kindly help please? Any ideas why during flight the textures disappear then sometimes reappear. Please see image.Thank you.Paul

Good morning,Can someone kindly help? I have recently noticed that my 747 contrails flicker slightly during flight. Any ideas what I have done to create this problem and how I can resolve it? Many thanksPaul

Hi,Thank you for sharing your thoughts about this topic but where is the 'option' you are referring too please? Does it require a re-install of Tileproxy?Cheers,Paul

Hello Lyod,I'll try and make this the last post for a while! I am nearly there and thank you for your time. My issue is best explained by the pictures I a have attached. I am seeking to gain a smooth look to my textures but at the moment I have this horrible shimmering look to them. I have a very powerful system and I am sure I can get a better look than the one I am currently getting. Please kindly take a look at my attached pictures.The picture at the bottom is the effect I am trying to seek, nice smooth look to the textures. Also, is there anything i can do to make the image clearer when flying lower, instead of the blur I get? My proxy.ini and pictures are below.Thank you again.Paul[Acme Globe Service]cache_folder=C:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\cache.acmenetwork_module=libnettilemodule_config="conn=20|rate=2.0|verbose=0|server=http://server*.acmeglobe.com|path=/terraintile?pos=%s&v=%v|quad=ABCD|balance=0123|agent=Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; The TileProxy Project)"captcha_module=captchaformcaptcha_config="cookiedomain=acmeglobe.com|cookieurl=http://www.acmeglobe.com"min_level=9max_level=17map_version=1color_hack=Nocolor_level=0bulk_extend=25[service Example 1]cache_folder=D:\TileProxy Photoreal World\cache.service1network_module=libnettilemodule_config="conn=20|rate=2.0|verbose=0|server=http://a*.ortho.tiles.virtualearth.net|path=/tiles/a%s.jpeg?g=%v|quad=0123|balance=0123|useragent=Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 7.0; Windows NT 6.0; SLCC1; .NET CLR 2.0.50727; .NET CLR 3.0.04506; .NET CLR 1.1.4322)"min_level=9max_level=19map_version=618level_mapping=9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19#level_mapping=9,10,11,12,14,14,15,16,17,18,19 more radius HQ (13->14)#level_mapping=9,10,11,14,14,14,15,16,17,18,19 even more radius in HQ (12,13->14)color_hack=Yescolor_level=13bulk_extend=50[service Example 3]cache_folder=D:\TileProxy Photoreal World\cache.service3network_module=libnettilemodule_config="conn=20|rate=2.0|verbose=0|server=http://us.maps3.yimg.com|path=/aerial.maps.yimg.com/img?x=%x&y=%y&z=%z&v=%v&t=a|useragent=Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 7.0; Windows NT 6.0; SLCC1; .NET CLR 2.0.50727; .NET CLR 3.0.04506; .NET CLR 1.1.4322)"min_level=5max_level=17map_version=1.9level_mapping=5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,15,15,15,16,17color_hack=Nocolor_level=0bulk_extend=50[service Example 4]cache_folder=D:\TileProxy Photoreal World\cache.service4network_module=libnettilemodule_config="conn=20|rate=2.0|verbose=0|server=http://mapcache*.ask.com|path=/sat/%Z/%X/%Y?partner=|balance=1234|useragent=Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 7.0; Windows NT 6.0; SLCC1; .NET CLR 2.0.50727; .NET CLR 3.0.04506; .NET CLR 1.1.4322)"min_level=5max_level=19map_version=1color_hack=Yescolor_level=12bulk_extend=50[service Example 5]### Norwegian Service ### 1-24-10cache_folder=D:\TileProxy Photoreal World\cache.service5network_module=libnettilemodule_config="conn=20|rate=4.0|verbose=0|server=http://ts1*.webatlas.no|path=/qt_1881/%s.png?s=%v|quad=0123|balance=0123456|useragent=Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 7.0; Windows NT 6.0; SLCC1; .NET CLR 2.0.50727; .NET CLR 3.0.04506; .NET CLR 1.1.4322)"map_version=1min_level=9max_level=19level_mapping=9,10,11,12,14,14,15,16,17,18,19#(JRG changed 12-18-09)#level_mapping=10,11,14,14,14,15,17,18#level_mapping=8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,19#even more radius in HQ (12,13->14)color_hack=nocolor_level=0bulk_extend=100

Thank You.

Hello fellow simmers,I would like to know how I can use the marvelous NL2000 Netherlands scenery with Tileproxy. Specifically, I would like to fly into the Netherlands from say, the USA and use tileproxy to start and when I land be using the Photoreal NL2000.Thank you.Paul

OK guys resolved it! Marc is right about what he says above about the folders http://forum.avsim.net/topic/260061-tried-tileproxy-yesterday/ . Just follow his instructions above and you should be good to go. Also, make sure to copy the Tileproxy.ini into your root folder, I forgot and hence that is why the first time the above didn't work for me.Thank you to Loyd for his time and patience and to all those others who replied.Paul
