Will Holger Sandman's Glacier Bay work in FSX? Is it compatible with Snow Dog Tours and FSX Tongass Fjords?

If God intended aircraft engines to have horizontally opposed engines, Pratt and Whitney would have made them that way.

I think the sceneries from Holger won't work in FSX.
I tried them once, and all I got was duplicated shore lines and a lot of terrain type conflicts.
From what I saw, the problem comes from the installation procedure: you have to "disable" some of the default FS scenery/landclass files, which are listed in the readme. Unfortunately, in FSX the names are different, so you can't disable anything and in the end you get those terrain conflicts.

I wish I could install his Glacier Bay or North Cascade sceneries, but my last tries were epic fails...

Got bloom ?
Got mountains ?
Got damage ?

Thanks Daube, that's what I was afraid of. I really going to miss it. But at least Snow Dog Tours is nice.
