Checking out TileProxy beta8
Approach and landing in a real US Air Airbus A320 and an FSX Boeing 737-800 landing in Phoenix Sky Harbor Int'l KPHX.
Using TileProxy beta8 scenery with FSX.
Flight 545
Route: PODDE3 ABI J66 EWM J4 SSO KOOLY2
I was in the US Air flight 545 a couple of days ago and recorded the video. Once home I flew and recorded the same route in a Boeing 737-800 in FSX with TileProxy scenery.
Enjoy!
TileProxy is intended for an experienced audience as it requires setting it up manually, and some tweaking to configure successfully.
With that being said, however, if you are patient and can follow instructions, there is an excellent getting started tutorial that will get you up
and running quickly.
It is essential that you have a reasonably high speed internet connection to run TileProxy. A 2 Mbit/s internet connection or faster is recommended. Attempting to use TP with anything near a 56k dial-up connection speed is mostly a "no go" proposition.

Created as FREEWARE by Christian Buchner, it's a real-time interface between Microsoft's Flight Simulator X, FS9 and the Internet. It will download photo-terrain textures from online map services by acting as a proxy server and file format converter. This tool turns your Flight Simulator into an interactive 3D map browser unlike anything you have experienced before. In FSX resolution levels of up to 30cm per pixel can now be achieved. It may also be used with Flight Simulator 2004 (FS9) though texture resolution is limited to 4.75 meters per pixel...(still very nice!).
With the latest version (Beta 8) Dual Core (and above) PC's now experience very fast load times in FSX. For older machines, FS9 will enjoy faster load times than FSX however. Recent versions of TileProxy now also include global water masks so FS water bodies and shorelines, with the usual reflections and FS water effects, are present!

I cant seem to find anywhere on those links where to download. I dont even see Phoenix listed. Just Grand canyon.

@FlyFrontier259 There are 3 links in the description. One to download TileProxy beta8, another to the tutorial on how to install and configure, and a third link to the users' forum. I just checked them and they all work. Read the instructions in the tutorial to set it up.
