You have to move your scenery slide to the far right, you'll take a FPS hit but it should look great.

Try moving the autogen one also later it'll add to the scenery.

The blur could be the speed or most likely your video card.
What do you mean, did the buildings disappear after you added the scenery.
I'm not familiar with the UK.

if i fly a fantom or anything over 300 knots the scenery does not go to fine detail and as for the buildings they just dissapeared ,like the houses of parliment and londons tallest building canary wharf they have all vanished
including battersea power station.
saying that i have noticed the highways /motorways are excellent
maybe i just need to start adding more software maybe this is just a foundation to build on ?

That's very possible, if you have your scenery slider maxed out and you can't see familiar buildings then the same site that you bought this from may have other add-ons for the same sector.
See if there is a Forum at the site where you can bring up this "problem".

Don't forget you have to fly really slowly. On anything but the fastest PC's you have to be below 100kts for the scenery to load. Also above 3,000 feet is a must otherwise the scenery is too blocky.

Just been looking at that link, see this box (lower right) with the red & white squares? I've always wondered... what's that for?

the only thing i can think of is nav aids or a beam for ILS
it could be a cover to house such items and coloured so aircraft can see them
perhaps Rolling Eyes
