The only thing I can think of, assuming you're trying to uncompress these files in the correct place is that your software is only un-gzipping the files and not untarring them. Tar.gz files are really a two stage item - they're both tarred (which basically groups all the files into one file) and then gzipped (which compresses them). Ensure that your software is both gunzipping and untarring them.

I suspect you'd be best forgetting about trying to start FG from the command line for the moment... If you are using the Windows FlightGear launcher and the added aircraft are not appearing in the selection panel, your most likely problem is that you've 1) Not uncompressed the downloaded tgz files or possibly most likely 2) Uncompressed them in the wrong place. You need to find your flightgear directory (as I don't use Windows, I can't remember where the default location is). In your FlightGear directory you should have a directory called Aircraft. This directory should contain a subdirectory for each aircraft installed, and nothing else (no files at all). This is where you should extract your downloaded aircraft to. Had you downloaded the Spitfire for example, you should have, within the Aircraft folder a directory named Spitfire which in turn contains subdirectories and several files including the aircraft-set.xml files. If all these things are correct, I would be amazed if the downloaded aircraft don't appear in the flightgear launcher selection window; I dare say some of the Windows users here can correct me if I'm talking nonsense.
