Tileproxy and FS9

For those of you who read my comments regarding Tileproxy you might be interested in knowing that FS9 runs quite nicely with the program. In fact, on my old and tired machine FS9 seems to be the combination for me. I have had the best success with the program using my tried and true FS9 sim and find that the speed is noticeably better than using FSX. I do have a very old AMD machine with a single core 2 ghz processor and only 1 gig of RAM. Yeah, I know, it is an antique. But, with TP and FS9 it turns in a tolerable performance. Plus, I get to fly VFR in my neighborhood and unique geographic locations like Meteor Crater, Arizona and the Grand Canyon. For those who want to try it I recommend the beta 6 version and the config files from Ed Truthan's site. With that combination getting it to run is a cinch. Install beta 6. It creates a folder in your main FSX folder called Tileproxy. Drop in the FS9 Proxyuser.ini file from the Truthan site. Start Tileproxy then start FS9. That is it. Just be sure you wait the required several minutes when the loading bar stops at around 37 percent. It is advisable to run FS9 in a windowed mode at first so you can see the Tileproxy terminal window running to be sure all is well.
