What You'll Learn
How to add an area to the scenery library
To add an area to the scenery library in FSX, you must first start FSX and go to World > Scenery Library. From here, click 'Add Area' and select the new scenery from the 'Addon Scenery' folder. If you have selected the correct directory, the 'Directory' field will contain the name of the scenery. Click 'OK' and the new scenery file will be added to the database.
If you are having trouble installing the scenery, it may be because you have not moved the scenery file containing the subfolders 'Scenery/Texture' into the 'Addon Scenery' directory in FSX. You should do this before starting FSX and trying to add the new scenery.
If you are using FSX Steam, you may find that the scenery does not install correctly and the default FSX scenery remains. This may be because you were not able to select the FSX Steam edition when installing the new scenery.
If you are still having problems, you could try asking for help on a flight simulator forum, such as Fly Away Simulation.
