Files could end up anywhere & you have no way of knowing file names or where they went. Default files could also be overwritten without your knowledge which could mess up your whole FS installation.
I do all my addons manually, just in case.

Installing BGL files to this directory means that you have no control over the priority of your 3rd party scenery or the ability to deactivate/delete it at will. Much better to follow Captain Midnight's advice & activate it via the Scenery Library.

Ease in Adding and Deleting from your scenery should you so desire.
Some Addons Scenarios have both: the folders to be activated
(with sub. scenery & texture) by FS 2004 library settings & other extras to be added to Addon Scenery/scenery & Addon Scenery/texture... while other creators prefer or recommend to install such extras in FS9/Scenery/Generic/Scenery & FS9/Scenery/Generic/texture. Just wondering why, I experimented
(with those extra files only) installing either way & no change in displaying those files correctly.
WHY do they work equally well?
me have no problem with sceneries
only with my ignorance
