Need advice on FS9 scenery enhancement

Thanks norab - downloaded and included!

All virus and malware scans (per Avast! and MalWareBytes) are complete, and the files are clean. They came from the places specified in the tutorial if anyone else is thinking about downloading them and wondering if they are clean.

I read Obio's tutorial and got things more or less set up in a folder on my desktop like I think he had them. Here's what I've got:

Obio's Scenery Update File -
GW3 basic file, updates and extras
RF Level 5 mesh
RF Level 7 mesh
RF Level 8 mesh
West Coast mesh files (JIT)

All in their separate folders named as shown. Separate zip files in this same basic folder are -
cliffs.zip
hde2.zip
newcliffs.zip
photovg.zip
treegen.zip
aratsp.zip
HDESUN!.zip
MASSIVE_THUNDERSTORM.zip
newgdb.zip
thunderptch.zip
twofix.zip


Here is the other folder:

Justin Tyme mesh sets
47 zip files I'm not even going to try to list - but if you go to FlightSim you can see them all! They comprise every set he has for the continental U.S.
____________________

What I would like to do is as much as possible keep everything in one folder to more easily manage it in the scenery library, and when activating it. I know I will have to separately open and install all the ".zip" files shown above, no problem. My question involves the mesh sets. There's no way I can keep from having to open and separately install each of the 47 mesh sets for the U.S. by JIT, that's a given. I plan on introducing those gradually and monitoring system performance to see what is "dinged" (i.e., frame rate, sim loading time, etc). Same thing with the West Coast mesh sets, they are all zip files - and may actually be a pretty good place to start, there aren't many and it's confined to one section of the country.

All of RF's mesh files are just .bgls and can be (if I'm guessing right) kept in their folders and just added to the scenery library in the usual way. Does this sound like a plan or should I be changing something?:ques:
