You need to download extra scenery for the places where you want to
fly; unfortunately, the machine that used to host the scenery has
become unavailable, so there's nowhere to download it. You could also
try building it yourself using the TerraGear tools, but that can be
quite complicated (and requires many gigabytes of disk space, as well
as the downloading of hundreds of megabytes of GIS data from different
Web sources).
When the scenery does become available again, you can download a
separate archive for each 10 x 10 degree area, numbered by the
longitude and latitude of the bottom left corner. For example, the
w080n40 archive includes New York, Boston, Buffalo, Toronto, Montreal,
Quebec City, and part of Philadelphia (all between 70W and 80W
longitude, and between 40N and 50N latitude). The archives are very
large -- w080n40 requires 63MB unpacked on my computer, and you need
14 of these archives just to cover the continental US (not all are
this large, though).
All the best,
David
