Be sure that they are FSX not 2004 or just textures and look under the manufacturer's name, they can hide.

Open the file you downloaded. Its probably a zipped file so extract it and read the README. It will tell you what to do. Basically, you copy the folder which contains the files (such as aircraft.cfg) into C:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\Microsoft Flight Simulator X\SimObjects\Airplanes
