locate the unzipped scenery object folder and copy the file iside it ; ca25.bgl ... and paste in FSX\Scenery\Global\scenery.

USA.bmp
... and paste in FSX\Scenery\Global\texture

I use the built-in Object placement tool for scenery developement and i can not find it by a "friendly name" so I find it by it's GUID.

the complete GUID is 0347F335E 043BAA13C 0B0E212AB 09CDF90B6 ... if you just look for the first sequence 0347F335E that makes it easier to find.
