Inside the Scenery directory, do you see a top-level subdirectory for
each scenery chunk you downloaded, i.e.

  w080n40
  w090n40

and so on?

If so, just pick an ICAO airport ID and go for it.  For example, if
you downloaded w080n40, you can start at New York La Guardia

  fgfs --airport-id=KLGA

or Boston Logan

  fgfs --airport-id=KBOS

or Toronto Pearson

  fgfs --airport-id=CYYZ

or Rochester

  fgfs --airport-id=KROC

or many others.

Learn to fly first -- flight simmers always worry too much about radio
nav and not enough about controlling the plane.  The (slightly
unidiomatic) rule for pilots is

  Aviate
  Navigate
  Communicate

i.e. always fly the plane first, then worry about navigation and radio
communication.

Once you can hold an altitude and heading for a few minutes easily,
land predictable, etc., then take a look at this radio-navigation
tutorial, which should work for FlightGear as well as it does for
MSFS:
