mutley 4,495 Posted May 10, 2007 Report Share Posted May 10, 2007 I've been testing TileProxy tonight, mostly flying GA/VFR around my home town and my nearest airport EGHI and Southampton. This is FSX with the ultimate photo scenery from a well known satellite imagery service. A railway branch line off the Waterloo to Weymouth line. The M27 in the distance nearing my home town. I can see my house from here! (Really :mrhappy: ) Heading towards Southampton city and St Mary's stadium. Now from the heli. FPS from around 25 to 70, like the 2 famous FSX VFR sceneries there is no hit on frame frates Hope you enjoyed this little preview, hopefully more to come Cheers, Link to post Share on other sites
B77W 0 Posted May 10, 2007 Report Share Posted May 10, 2007 erm....yeah they arn't too bad :mrhappy: Keep it up Joe! (or should I say God :mrhappy:) I think we need to have a big multiplayer flight :!: Cheers, Sam Link to post Share on other sites
JoeEllwood 0 Posted May 10, 2007 Report Share Posted May 10, 2007 Amazing scenery - may have to check it out when it's released. I should probably spend more time flying in that part of the world. Link to post Share on other sites
mutley 4,495 Posted May 10, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 10, 2007 Tell you what Joe, before I shut down I will try to upload a shot of Melbourne as it's global :mrhappy: Link to post Share on other sites
dgor 0 Posted May 10, 2007 Report Share Posted May 10, 2007 It's global you say? Oooh! If there's an FS9 version I'll buy it - one of the things that's put me off buying VFR photoreal scenery is the inconsistency with the rest of the world. Dave Link to post Share on other sites
mutley 4,495 Posted May 10, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 10, 2007 Sorry Dave it is for FSX only, by global I mean it covers the planet as much as the satellites do :sadblinky: I managed to capture these of Melbourne, Oz, only places I recognised was YMML where I took off from and the MCG, here they are, the colours and resolution are not so good though but hey! :mrhappy: Perhaps Joe may recognise some of these images? Cheers, Link to post Share on other sites
JoeEllwood 0 Posted May 11, 2007 Report Share Posted May 11, 2007 Gee Mut - really put me on the spot! :mrhappy: Hmm. I've never been to Melbourne, so the only thing I can recognize there is the Yarra River that you see in pics 5 & 6 - apart from that I'm stretched for any firm answers. Bit slack aren't I? Anyway, looks like a great package - but for Australia and FSX, I'll wait for VOZ Pro - http://www.orbxsystems.com. Take a look around the site -0.15m per pixel oughta be good! :mrhappy: Link to post Share on other sites
Martyn 9 Posted May 11, 2007 Report Share Posted May 11, 2007 Ah the infamous commercial copyright breacher, TileProxy. Regardless of how the developer 'subtly' covers it, he is using a commercial product(google earth) without permission. Anyway, those shots are great Mutley, this guy is obviously a bright spark in the flight sim world. "A railway branch line off the Waterloo to Weymouth line" Thank god I drive down to bournemouth now, instead of taking this line. Its the most bumpy and engineered line I have ever used. Its also very over priced, although south west trains customer support has been good to me in the past. You should post some shots of Marwell :mrhappy: Link to post Share on other sites
mutley 4,495 Posted May 11, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 11, 2007 Hi Martyn Point taken about the developer, he's obviously got talent. I don't know if you have read his release notes (I'm sure you have) I think he wanted to get this to market before anyone else as he doesn't have the business knowledge to sell his skills. I am surprised this is available from AVSIM but there you go. It takes a lot of setting up as he leaves out the most important information which you have to work out for yourself. I am not going to pass this on before anyone asks. I didn't post this on JF as I do not post Gen X (or advertise them as being Gen X shots) as that is just taking the mick. I think he wants people like Google to come to him but I expect they already have the skills (These are not Google Earth images by the way). It's not really practical for every day use, there's no water and no night textures. Also the amount of disc cache required is prohibitive. I will have a look around Marwell later, I'm not sure if the quality of the textures there will be worth it? (I could always post some Gen X shots as JF VFR Real hasn't got here yet :mrhappy: ) Cheers Link to post Share on other sites
Martyn 9 Posted May 11, 2007 Report Share Posted May 11, 2007 "I could always post some Gen X shots as JF VFR Real hasn't got here yet " Of course we have, we have done the whole of England and Wales :mrhappy: We just haven given it to you simmers yet. Wales is looking absolutely stunning, you will be blown away with the quality! Link to post Share on other sites
mutley 4,495 Posted May 11, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 11, 2007 How about a sneak preview then to whet everyone's appetite :?: :mrhappy: Link to post Share on other sites
A320cap 0 Posted May 11, 2007 Report Share Posted May 11, 2007 Stunning! Link to post Share on other sites
ddavid 149 Posted May 12, 2007 Report Share Posted May 12, 2007 Right then, Joe - thanks for whetting our appetite :!: I'm uncertain how to install TileProxy - I downloaded the Beta 2 zip from Sourceforge but the 'readme.txt' doesn't say what to do. Is there any documentation - I don't really like to hit the button on the 'exe' file without knowing what's going to happen..... Old plodders, like me, take time to catch on Cheers - Dai. :yes: Link to post Share on other sites
mutley 4,495 Posted May 12, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 12, 2007 I would be very careful Dai as it makes BIG changes to your system and there is no uninstaller All the documentation is loaded once you install the program. To save you installing it I will mail you the instructions but as I said earlier there is a huge chunk of info he leaves out for legal reasons so it's trial and error on the set up. Unfortunately I cannot provide information on how to access these servers as the legality is questionable but the information is available on the web. Cheers Link to post Share on other sites
A320cap 0 Posted May 12, 2007 Report Share Posted May 12, 2007 Can you give me a download link for this scenery? Link to post Share on other sites
mutley 4,495 Posted May 12, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 12, 2007 Can you give me a download link for this scenery? Here you go http://sourceforge.net/projects/tileproxy/ Don't forget this is for FSX only and there is NO support so it is used at your own risk, but the good news is that the beta2 version now has an uninstaller. Also, I do not recommend you post any shots on Just Flight of TileProxy as they will be removed by me Cheers Link to post Share on other sites
A320cap 0 Posted May 12, 2007 Report Share Posted May 12, 2007 Thanks. It covers the whole world, correct? I won't post any shots in JF Forums. But why? Link to post Share on other sites
mutley 4,495 Posted May 12, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 12, 2007 It is for the whole world. Don't forget Just Flight have their own scenery, VFR Real and VFR Photographic for FS9 So advertising or singing the praises for other scenery legal or otherwise would breach their forum rules and would not really be the done thing.

yuilly 0 Posted May 29, 2007 Report Share Posted May 29, 2007 Hey mut, How do I get this working? Can't find anythign on the web to help. Any chance of getting a copy of your .ini file please. I said please :yes: EDIT: Had a go and it's too complex for me, so I couldn't get it set up right and kept gettign an error, plus FS loading would stop at 35%. I give up with it. Would've been nice though. Link to post Share on other sites
mutley 4,495 Posted May 29, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 29, 2007 Oh dear, I've just mailed you the file. I'm not surprised you are having problems it is very flaky. Cheers Link to post Share on other sites
yuilly 0 Posted May 29, 2007 Report Share Posted May 29, 2007 I'll have a go with your file. Thanks :-) Link to post Share on other sites
mulletman 0 Posted May 30, 2007 Report Share Posted May 30, 2007 Apparently a version has now been created for FS2004. Although i doubt i will ever give it a go. Link to post Share on other sites
mutley 4,495 Posted May 30, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 30, 2007 That's the beta 4 version. For FS2004 but you are better off with JF VFR Photographic scenery for the UK Cheers Link to post Share on other sites
A320cap 0 Posted May 30, 2007 Report Share Posted May 30, 2007 Can you send it to me also please? Thanks Link to post Share on other sites
