Testing TileProxy

Postby Jayhawk Jake » Sun Aug 21, 2011 10:01 pm

Since I will be flying for real in the relatively near future, I wanted to try doing something to get more accurate scenery.  Of course no one makes photosceneries for Kansas, so TileProxy seemed like a natural choice, and if it looked alright I could use it everywhere.


My thoughts?  Verdict's not quite out yet.  It's awesome, no doubt, because it's satellite photos.  And over places that FS makes a desert or a checkerboard, it's incredible, night and day to default.  However, there's no autogen.  At altitudes over a few thousand feet it's no big deal, you can't see autogen anyways.  Low and slow I wish there were trees and houses.   

Performance?  Excellent.  With no autogen the sim runs great.  Sometimes it slows down while loading textures, and I need more testing to know for sure.

Here are some shots.  If you guys want, tomorrow I could do some comparison shots of FSX with and without TileProxy to help you decide if you want it.  And if you give me a place you want to see, I can try to get a pic for you.

Sorry the pictures are so dark, I didn't start saving them til the sun was setting.  I'll get daytime shots tomorrow

This is over the middle of Kansas.  MUCH better than default, but see the blue?  It's a lower quality satellite photo because it's in a rural area.  Still btter than default IMO

On approach to KICT, and why I got this installed.  See that little river/lake and those apartment buildings?  That's where I live.

And the grand canyon.  Again, better than default, but worth no autogen?  Can't say yet...

Again, let me know if you'd like to see anything from TileProxy.  Comments welcome ;)
