yeah whatever I had done it did work but it came back after restoring and then I could not repeat but I think it has to do with either shader 10 cache or a swap file because it still happens now with it deleted or moved out, but it was gone so have to explorer my steps again, sorry to get hopes up but I will find out how I did it. but it does have to do with this file. thanks for trying

Update... after restarting computer I have still seen this texture or a new blue texture but it did go away I sure of this so maybe there is another cache we could clear here? to get rid of the cached copy. Best way to describe effects is much less flashing although quicker flashes too, and better frames on my end by about 5-10ish... need to find this cached copy in temp or swap file as reboot did not get it, but it did go away I'm sure of this. Any ideas how this worked but now back after deleting file?

Are you plagued by the instance of before several textures load there is a flash of a FSX menu texture? OK... It appears that the first texture loaded in FSX, the opening image, gets stuck in the VRAM cache and then it is accessed on every subsequent texture access of equal or larger size. So we then see this rather large image flashing all the time. DID I Mention ALL THE Time? So annoying... I had this Idea when I started messing with FSX a few days ago and saw that this was the opening texture and though why not just get rid out it and see what happens? Viola! Seems to help with stuttering and the weird shadow thingy around big ships also. But not the runway textures FIX HERE>>>> Open an Explorer window and navigate to your main FSX folder. should be something like E:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Games\Microsoft Flight Simulator X Open this folder and find the Uires folder. Then find the file dlgsplash.bmp You can rename it to dlgsplash.bak or move it. But, make sure that the file name dlgsplash.bmp does not exsist in E:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Games\Microsoft Flight Simulator X\Uires\ Feel free to send wildly lavish gifts and donations my way please LOL. Anyways much better FSX for me now!!!... Your Flying friend, Unguarded_Frog

Still playing with this problem but I found that if the [21,135] or similar is at the bottom then it is accessing the internet. But this rarely happens so my cache is full in test area. My cache manager show gigs of data so it is close to level 19 all over my test area. I've tried lowering my levels to let my system kind of cath up but this never happens. going to reinstall. THANKS EVERYONE.

I think the problem might be that I have gone over all of hawaii honolulu at least this is why nothing downloads, but why does it take soooooo long to load cached scenery any tips or help?

Update, Tileproxy is loading!!!! But slowly... is 5.2 Meg fast enough??? serious here, I'm wondering if it is. Let me know. Thanks.

Ooopps! found the double FFTF entry. fixed to 1.33

Update: I loaded my test flight again and flew to an area I have not covered yet as it is lod 8 included. I can tell by the colors. using the normal service 3 YH I paused the sim and walked away from the computer, as I waste serious time watching TP fill in some days. all tough it is fun.... the highest traffic on my network adapter is a few 64kB/sec spikes and a lot of 15 kB/sec spikes 30 seconds apart. BUTttttt TP is filling in but it is not going fast at all. PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!! thanks gfusc! I had caught the double cache entry but not the double //? I think I errored it before and then tileproxy entered them this way after re-installing it. Hmmm off to test I go....

thanks jbrewer, you got 1st post lol. I did make sure that fsx and tileproxy are in firewall. I even checked hosts file to see if that was issue. It is very odd, I can load a flight and then circle and nothing else loads just blurry. But It was loading before. I can try anything though. I used to be in IT stuff, so I thought this was going to be cake but turns out its chocolate cake : ( ha ha. oh well I can see if anyone has ideas as I have tried everything I can think of and still something is not working. jbrewer, can I ask you. if you load up a new airport and see how much your connection is transferring how much is it downloading to fill in tiles for a new airport you haven't been to before. Assuming your service covers the area and it covers up to say level 15-17?

I have search, reviewed, installed,,,reinstalled,,,re-reinstalled. I have changed drives I have even considered reinstall of OS...?!@? But... My tile proxy does work. It just doesn't work the way I would expect my system to work so as a favor I'm asking the great community whom has helped in the past to so many of us out here.

This should be DL'ing like crazy, YES? I not getting any new tiles so as a long time user of tileproxy I must have goofed it bigtime So what can I do to avoid a system wide reinstall of everything to get a pleasurable experience again?
