I downloaded the new WTC 1 file....how do I install it?  I mean, where do the contents of the \1WTC\scenery folder go?   :-[

I assume you talking about this?

If so...
Copy the "1WTC" folder itself into the "Add-on Scenery" folder located in FSX Root (Program Files / Microsoft Games / Microsoft Flight Simulator X).

Start up FSX and go to the Setting menu, then go to the "Scenery Library" (located on the right side).

OPEN UP THE ZIP FILE.
RIGHT CLICK & COPY THE FILE 1WTC.
OPEN UP YOUR ROOT FSX FOLDER.
OPEN UP YOUR ADDON SCENERY FOLDER.
PASTE THE 1WTC IN THE ADDON SCENERY FOLDER.
OPEN UP FSX
GO TO SETTINGS FROM THE MAIN MENU.
GO TO LIBRARY.
CLICK ADD.
BROWSE TO THE FSX-ADDON SCENERY FOLDER.
CLICK ON THE FOLDER AND ADD IT TO FSX.

Did all that....can't add the folder....it just opens up to the "scenery" and "texture" folders.  I can't find "Add"....there's "Add Area", but no "Add."  I'm thoroughly confused.

Do you mean you can't copy and past it into the Add-on Scenery folder? :-?

I can't find "Add"....there's "Add Area", but no "Add."

"Add" and "Add Area" are the same thing. :)

You click on the "add area" Then open "Addon Scenery folder, find the scenery you wnat to add, click "OK".  Now, if you are using Windoz7, click anywhere in the open folder window, below the scenery/texture folders, then that window should close, then click the "Okay" button, and your scenery should load.

The step where you click under the scenery/texture folder (if it has a texture folder-- not all addon sceneries to), is a Win7 bug.

Thanks, everybody....finally figured it out.  Now, the next big question is finding WTC1 when I'm flying.  (Is there an airport you can take off from that will point you, more or less, in the direction of WTC1?  (I'm from Iowa....don't know *jack* about NYC.)   :-[
