Slowhand

Can't see any map services anymore. No Bing maps?

Never checked it. After a flight from A to B and having no plans for a next flight in the same area, I Always cleaned up the tiles in the TileProxy Photoreal World and TPCache maps. It's easely a few Gbytes with a slow aircraft. With a jet it will be more.

I did all of the above. But no luck! Still same error message.

No experience with Steam and maybe I'm kicking in open doors, but did you check your current firewall and virusscanner?

Allan, I'm checking your site regularly. Its much appreciated. Thanks for that.

After checking the map services for Tiliproxy only one works! And that is MS Bing Virtual Earth. Webatlas for Norway gives now a 404 error (not found). Yahoo gives a 503 error (Unavailable). Thus only one single possibility left..., allthough I hope I'm wrong.

Thanks Ian, My cores are controlled better now as well as my FFTF settings, although without the tweaks you suggested. I'm trying the FSPS FSX Fiber Accelarator demo and everything looks much smoother. Good thing to point me to the FFTF issue. Thanks.

Can't say it is solved yet. Too much blurry tiles. To solve this I limited my FPS down to 15FPS and have my FIBER_FRAME_TIME_FRACTION set to 1 according the advice of the manual. Results in better loading of tiles, sometimes up to 1900/sec. So there should be no pain there. But my stutters seem to be related to the loading of tiles by TP. When it loads, my system stutters. Anyone?

The only way I can think of is to look for an addon airport and put it above your TP entries in your scenery library. Another method is to adjust de stock FS airport yourself with ADE and create your own addon.

Had the same 'unable to...' error message. The cache was directed to my E:\ drive. What I did was removing the old cache files from E:\, created a E:\TPcache folder, and voila, the message was gone.

Just updated to TileProxy R086 and have my FPS set to unlimited. It looks better now. :smile:

Gentleman, I recently installed TileProxy 8 Beta succesfully without problems. I choosed the 1.1meter resolution option and TP runs fine, except for one thing: small stutters! I found out that the small stutters happen when Tileproxy is preloading while flying. When I stop the preloading window with a Ctrl-C, it runs as smooth as silk. But with proloading on, it continuesly has small stutters. I tried to lower my FPS from 30 to 20 and it helped a bit, but not enough. I'm looking for the real solution. My old system has an Intel Q9300 (4 cores) 2.5Hhz CPU overclocked to 3Mhz, 4Mb RAM, Vista32 SP2, FSX SP2, and a ATI HD7850 2Gb graphics card. Has anyone encountered the same problem? And was it solved? Thanks,

Hi MattX, Your problem isn't SSD or HDD speed. My situation is similar to yours. FSX on the SSD and Blue Sky sceneries on the HDD. I don't have blurries on my old rig. I think a lot is due to your FSX configuration. In this I can recommend the advices on Word Not Allowed's website. Can your problem be the LOD_RADIUS in your FSX.CFG? FSX standard is 4.5. But I have mine set to 7.5. But beware, it takes more VAS. And how fast are you flying? BSS needs slow flying in my situation. If I fly a jet, it gets blurry too. The more because BSS advices slow flying operations. Then the scenery is great i.m.h.o. I also noticed that the later BSS sceneries (i.e. Montana) are sharper than those of California. Newer technicues I guess. Hope this makes any difference.
