Welcome, Quick answer, you need this file: ftp://ftp.flightgear.org/pub/fgfs/Scenery-0.9.10/w130n30.tgz untarred and place in you $FGROOT/Scenery folder. Long answer, FlightGear divides the world into small chunks we call tiles. Tiles are organized into folders (directories) containing 1 degree of longitude and 1 degree of latitude (1x1 chunks). 100 of these 1x1 chunks are organized into folders (directories) containing 10 degrees of longitude and 10 degrees of latitude (10x10 chunks). Chunks are named by listing their smallest latitude and longitude, west and south are negative numbers. By default FlightGear installs two 1x1 chunks w122n37 and w123n37 from the w130n30 10x10 chunk. These two 1x1 chunks contain many airports: 02Q 0Q2 15CA 16CA 17CA 17CL 1CL3 1Q4 23Q 2CL1 44Q 45Q 4CA3 4CA8 4Q2 55CA 59CA 5CA3 5CL2 5CL3 6Q6 8Q1 C83 CA14 CA26 CA27 CA30 CA33 CA34 CA48 CA54 CA63 CA67 CA70 CL05 CL41 CL52 CL64 CL77 CL86 K1Q4 KC83 KCCR KCSY KE16 KHAF KHWD KJMC KLVK KNRC KNUQ KOAK KPAO KRHV KSCK KSFO KSJC KSQL KTCY O29 Q99. But they don't contain all the northern California you are missing. KLAX and KRNO are in the w120n30 10x10 chunk.
