OK thats all good but I know how to do all that but the planes are not showing, it says in the readme's that I need to add some lines to the aircraft.cfg well for 1 I don't know where that is and if I make it I do not know where to put it.
Thank you  |

Firstly, your aircraft.cfg will only be a small "square" if you do not run MS Office -- so a small square is certainly not what you're looking for.
Each aircraft folder contains an aircraft.cfg, without it the a/c will not fly or... it's not an a/c. BTW, you open the aircraft.cfg by right-clicking on it and select "Open with Notepad".
When I read your OP I had a feeling that you'd downloaded textures instead of an a/c. If the ReadMe contained in the file contains something like [fltsim.xx] (the xx being the clue because you're supposed to change the xx into an appropriate sequential number such as 09 or 12 or whatever) then it's a texture file only.
To avoid the problem in the future, read the file description before you download

If half of the things you download DO NOT have a(n) aircraft.cfg then obviously they are NOT aircraft. I repeat: Each aircraft folder contains an aircraft.cfg, without it the a/c will not fly or... it's not an a/c.

This is not an encouragement for those who are prepared to help you with your problems -- some manners wouldn't hurt
