I have installed the scenery for British Columbia as per the readme from avsim site. When in the FS9 scenery library, "add area", I go to the folder \scenery\srtm-na\scenery the scenery file na82etc.bgl does not show up for me to instal it. In looking at the stock scenery files that come with FS9, there is a .dat file in the scenery folder and a texture folder in the scenery folder. Neither of these two are in the \srtm-na folder. Any suggestions to instal this add-on scenery would be appreciated. ???

I think all you need is the folder in which it's contained. I suggest telling FS2L4 to cache the scenery as then it won't load while you are trying to fly.

Install the mesh .bgl in a folder called "scenery".

Place this folder in another folder that you can name as you wish: such as "BC mesh".
Place this folder in your add-on secenery folder.

The path would be as follows:
add on scenery>BC mesh> scenery

When you browse for the scenery to add it via the scenery library, just browse for the "BC mesh" folder, not the sub "scenery" folder

If your scenery also contains textures you simply place these files in a folder you created named "texture" which you place in the same folder as you placed the folder named "scenery.

The path woud be:

add on scenery>BC scenery> scenery/texture

Again you just have to browse for the ""BC sceney" folder to enable it via the scenery library.

P.S.
If the scenery does not contain textures, DO NOT create a texture folder that will remain empty!
Only create a textuer folder if you have texture files to put in them!
An empty texture folder in the scenery library can create problems.
