Hello All, Got the file and unzipped it. Installed it on FSX:SE and got a message: "HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Microsoft games\Flight Simulator\10.0" registry setup path not found. Started FSX:SE and to cut a long story short, TF higher priority seems OK but TF lower priority doesn't work correctly. Tried to install on an older, Windows 7 machine but installer wants to use F:\FTS but that machine doesn't have an F drive. It will start to install on the C drive where FSX resides but latterly tries to write to the F drive which doesn't exist.
I'd prefer to stay on the R11 and with FSX:SE. Ideas, suggestions, workarounds,
Tongass is designed to into to FSX (Boxed Verson). Not FSE-SE or P3D.
And Tongass looks at the registry to find the FSX path (or the designated path).
So...
(from a Holgerpost that is still intact), see:
http://fssupport.com/fsaddonforum/index.php?topic=88.0)
1. use a FSX registry tool to temporarily direct the FSX-SE registry path to a temp folder. For that to work you need to also place a copy of the FSX-SE "fsx.exe" file as well as the FSX-SE "terrain.cfg" file into the temp folder. Then run the installer into the temp folder.
2. use the file list provided in the first post in this thread --
http://fssupport.com/fsaddonforum/index.php?topic=34.0 -- to manually copy all TFX files and folders to your FSX-SE installation. Then manually add the two TFX entries to the scenery library menu and the block of TFX entries (also attached to that thread) into your FSX-SE terrain.cfg file.
... ...
Now the FSX Registry utility tool in item #1 (that is one of the easiest to use is by tweakfs. This will allow you to establish and set up your registry to create an empty/dummy FSX installation folder to any location.

So trying to get Tongass into FSX-SE is like trying to get Tongass into P3D.
Need FSX Registry to a temp FSX path..
Install Tongass to that temp path/folder
Move all of the folders and files over to the FSX-SE paths
Update the Terrain.cfg file.
Add the two entries to the scenery library.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
It follows the same procedure for the Tongass into P3D install..
