A few of my downloaded aircraft did not have navigational aid such as the Garmin. How can I add the nav aid to the aircraft file. I'm pretty sure that the nav aid is included in the aircraft cfg somewhere.

This is really quite simple to do.
All you have to to is to open a panel cfg file of any aircraft that has the gauge you are looking for than just copy that section of the cfg file into the plane that you want them in.
Below is a sample of what I am talking notice the (WINDOW02) you will need to change this to the next window you have available
The easiest way to do this is to use a program called FSPANEL STUDIO It is payware but you can down load a fully functional program and use for a short period of time A few days I think.
But if you plan on working with panels this is the program you want it is very user friendly and you do not need a PHD in order to figure it out.
As it uses what is called WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get) so you actually see the same panel as if you were in FS

[Window02]
Background_color=0,0,0
size_mm=456,378
position=8
visible=0
ident=GPS_PANEL
window_size= 0.500, 1.000
This is the first thing you will see in any panel cfg file unless the panel has been aliased
Notice how each window defines a function

[Window Titles]
Window00=Panel principal
Window01=Grupo de radio
Window02=GPS
Window03=Cuadrante de aceleraci�n
Window04=Panel superior
Window05=Br�jula
Window06=Minipanel
Window07=P1
Window08=P2
Window09=P3
