Well, first download an addon, which will usually be in a zip file.

In the zip file, there will be a readme.txt file, which you should read.  it will generally have instructions on how to install the addon.

hope that helps.

Hi Svpernaut. Can you be more specific. Which addons have you tried? It sounds to me that you've downloaded a file for FS2002. I would be very surprised if this will work in FSX.

PS. I suspect this tute is confusing you as it was originally written for FS2002. http://www.simviation.com/acinstall.htm
The principle is the same for all versions of FS except that FSX has no default Aircraft folder. Follow the tute & install your aircraft to the SimObjects\airplanes folder instead. FSX is in this location by default:
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\Microsoft Flight Simulator X
