OMG! Awesome!

Apologies for the over excitemet, and I know this is a technical help and not a screenshot forum, but I just had to share this. I have just just had a taste of TileProxy at its best. Just look at the following shots taken over the Colorado rockies, at about 150kts. I had no blurries, all just perfect. It really does not get much better than that does it!!!!!Christian, you are a genius Sir!! After all the frustraing days of trying to get it right, I am so happy!!!I will post my .cfg & .ini files for anyone who wants....Cheers, Mark

Those shots look great. Yeah, if you don't mind posting your ini and cfg that would be great. I am still trying to fine tune mine.

MarkAny chance of posting a graphic of your fsx settings sliders. I'm most interested in the scenery slider settings while using tileproxy. Ed Truthan has been coaching me (more like holding my hand) to get me up and running. Now, I'm curious about some of the fsx settings because those guys never envisioned something like tileproxy providing photollike scenery. Ed's last tip of setting the "Level of Detail Radius to LARGE just doesn't sound right - but it is Dead On Correct - made a big difference in my setup. We still need some 3d stuff. I read someplace that the world is not flat. Cheers.Ray

Thanks Mark, I saw the cfg file earlier in the post. I can't relate each of the settings sliders to the line entry in the cfg file. Sometimes the text is the same other times different. I was hoping for a visual. Maybe a reduced screenshot of the 6 screens. Thanks anyway.Ray

Excellent. Just what I was Looking for. Thanks Mark.

[lliaudais 2]

All right Mark,you should have been expecting a question on your settings after posting the images...Does running terrain mesh at 2m (you don't likely have 2m mesh) smooth out the actual mesh quality? I have the FSG set for the world but I think only US is even as fine as 10m. Most of the rest of the world is still 38, 76 or 152. Maybe it wouldn't take much processing to interpolate and smooth out a coarser mesh internally but I don't know if FSX actually does that. Do you know?I usually leave mine at 10m regardless of where I fly 'cause you never know when you might cross into a region that does have 10m. and it's one less thing to remember when I change locations.Loyd

I have a question for you, Lloyd (or anyone following this thread). I am assuming you are using Tileproxy, and if so, do the settings for mesh complexity, mesh resolution, and texture resolution have any effect at all. If you are in fact using tileproxy and any of them make any difference, what are your choice of settings. I do know for sure that the LOD radius needs to be set to LARGE.Another question. Can Autogen density be set to ZERO when using tileproxy? If not, why not? Thanks.I went and read the TP manual again and here is what the author of the program has to say about it. These are setting that will be made to the fsx.cfg unless overridden.[TERRAIN]LOD_RADIUS is set to 2.5, 3.5 or 4.5 (depending on user choice)MESH_COMPLEXITY is set to 85MESH_RESOLUTION is set to 22TEXTURE_RESOLUTION is set to 25, 26 or 27 (depending on user choice)DETAIL_TEXTURE is set to 1

Yes, things look better in the distance if you can run Radius at your max (or even manually make it 5.5 in the FSX.cfg)Mesh is up to you; I think I've heard/read that reducing mesh complexity lightens the workload but mine pretty much stays at 100% and 10m to get the value from the FSG mesh I purchased. But, if there's minimal terrain below (think Kansas...) it could probably be turned way down with no obvious change in surface appearance. The TEXTURE_RESOLUTION in the sim is the only one that significantly affects TileProxy (so far as I know); this determines what FSX resolution will display.If you leave it at 5m in the sim and download 1m tiles, you're wasting your bandwidth; FSX is only going to display the imagery at 5m resolution. Likewise, setting FSX to 30cm and flying with 1m tiles is wasted horsepower; you're still only going to see 1m resolution.FSX and TileProxy should be set for corresponding values. TEXTURE_RESOLUTION=23..... 4.8m (level 15 tiles)TEXTURE_RESOLUTION=24..... 2.4m (level 16 tiles)TEXTURE_RESOLUTION=25..... 1.2m (level 17 tiles)TEXTURE_RESOLUTION=26..... 60cm (level 18 tiles)TEXTURE_RESOLUTION=27..... 30cm (level 19 tiles)My DETAIL_TEXTURE has also always been at 1.Autogen isn't visible so it's either not generated or blocked from view; if I thought that cpu cycles were being wasted on something I couldn't see, I'd turn it off but I think Autogen is just disabled.Hope this helpsLoyd

Hi loyd, I leave my mesh set at 2m, because I use FSG, but also FSdreamscapes meshes as well, and they are at 4.75m. To Raymar: This will give you more detailed mesh ( as long as you have it installed obviously)Loyd, how did your experimentation with the "5" rings go? I am still tweaking my settings, but your last suggestion of 10, 10, 12,14,14,15,16,17 seems pretty good at the moment. I am just trying to balance frame rates and texture loading at the moment. Cheers, Mark

two tests... directly copied from a couple of poststest location RJTTlevel mapping: 5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,15,15,15,16,17I got tiles from 9 thru 17 but nothing lower; overall appearance was normal. I guess the idea is to use much lower res at the outer rings but this did not accomplish it.level mapping: 5,5,5,5,5,5,13,15,15,15,15,16,17got tiles from 5, then 13,14,15,16,17 ( I didn't ask for 14's as you can see, so I don't know where they came from)The outer range(?) wasn't anything to look at with all the 5's out there. The mid and inner rings showed the 13-17 so it was "normal" here.A level 5 image tile is LOD3 - 4.8km per pixel and spans over 1200km. Now I wish I had saved one to look at. I had 50 of them in the cache folder when the DL was done. This has made me curious, but I'm not going to do it. I'm not going to do it. I'm not.I if want BLAND for the horizon, I'll just use the LOD8 scenery. It's sufficiently bland and detail-less and ready-made also...I dropped south after a visit to Innsbruck [LOWI] and followed der Autobahn A22 through the mountains and ended up at Bolzano Italy [LIPB] - that is SOME beautiful country! Image tiles of some 'mixed' color sources around the area but not a serious distraction.level_mapping=10,11,12,14,14,15,16service1(Let's see if the image attachment will last more than a few minutes...)I'm loading the area again now; bye!Loyd
