Reads in part:
"Adding Scenery Areas: If you purchase or download additional compatible scenery, it's best to use the setup program that accompanies the software to install the scenery area. For scenery that doesn't include a setup program, there are three ways to add the scenery manually to Flight Simulator. The method you use depends on whether or not you want to have the flexibility to manage the new scenery separately from other add-on scenery you may have installed.
The new scenery should contain two folders: Scenery and Texture. By copying the add-on scenery and texture files into the folders named C:\...\Microsoft Flight Simulator\Addon Scenery\Scenery and C:\...\Microsoft Flight Simulator\Addon Scenery\Texture, respectively, the scenery will automatically load the next time you start Flight Simulator. Add-on scenery is automatically placed in a higher layer than default scenery, so that it will be visible.
If you install the files in the folders named above, the new scenery area will not show up separately in the Scenery Library; it will be included in a group scenery area called Addon Scenery. If you install a lot of add-on scenery in this manner, you won't easily be able to tell what you've installed and you won't be able to disable or delete the new scenery without disabling or deleting all add-on scenery.
If you want to have the flexibility to view the new scenery area separately in the Scenery Library and be able to manage it separately from the other add-on scenery, create a separate folder for each new set of add-on scenery in the C:\...\Microsoft Flight Simulator\Addon Scenery folder.
To add a scenery area manually to the Scenery Library
Copy the Scenery files for the new scenery into the C:\...\Microsoft Flight Simulator\Addon Scenery\Scenery folder.
Copy the Texture files for the new scenery into the C:\...\Microsoft Flight Simulator\Addon Scenery\Texture folder.
Run Flight Simulator. The new scenery loads automatically.
-or-
In Windows Explorer, create a folder for the new scenery in the C:\...\Microsoft Flight Simulator\Addon Scenery folder.
Copy the Scenery and Texture folders for the new scenery into the folder you just created.
Run Flight Simulator. The new scenery will automatically be loaded.
-or-
In Windows Explorer, create a folder for the new scenery anywhere on your hard drive.
Copy the Scenery and Texture folders for the new scenery into the folder you just created.
In the Scenery Library click Add area.
In the Select scenery directory, select the folder containing the new scenery.
In the Scenery area name text box, type the name as you want it to appear in the Scenery Area list.
Select Cache this scenery or Use this scenery directly.
Click OK.
After you install the new scenery, you can use the Scenery Library to change the priority of the area, change its name, and edit the options for that scenery."
