IMPORTANT NOTE ON CACHE FOLDER LOCATIONS: If you decided to install your Cache folders on another drive instead of their default location during the initial install you should open the pre-configured ProxyUser.ini in a text editor and correct the "cache_folder=" addresses under each of the bracketed Service Example entries so they point to your custom location. This is usually done by the TileProxy installer, but because since you're going to use a my 3rd party ini file you'll need to do it manually. There are 3 service example entries, one for each available map service. They are numbered 1, 3 and 4 and reside toward the bottom of the the ProxyUser.ini file. (These entries also contain the URL's for the map services, etc.) The default entry for "Service Example 1" for example looks like this:
So as an example , if you had decided at the installion to place your TP cache folders on drive "F" for instance, in a folder called "TPCache", you will want to edit ALL 4 of the service entries in the ProxyUser.ini file to look like this:
TIP: To be sure of the address of this folder, you can also check the default ProxyUser.ini file that was created at install before you overwrite or back it up, as it will have placed the precise cache folder address under the service examples. Its in the "TileProxy" main folder you'll be placing my pre-configured one in in step3. Note: The final "cache.service1", "cache.service3" etc. folders are not created at install. TileProxy will generate the creation of the respective cache folders when you load your very first flight and it begins to download tiles. After that, the folders will remain there and be added to as you fly different areas with that particular provider. The "cache_folder=" entries thus tell TileProxy where to create a given map service's cache folder upon first initial use. You can clear the cache folders contents from the TileProxy "Start Menu > All Programs>Manage Service Caches" link from time to time if they begin to grow too large. More information on this can be found in the TileProxy Manual. Remember that the numeric last digit of the address [Drive://.../cache.service1] needs to be the same number as the respective Service Example number above it, as illustrated in the example below. [Service Example
1] [Service Example
3] [Service Example
4] Remember to do this for both the FSX and FS9 versions of the ini file. |
