FS2004 Belgian Air Force HQ Douglas DC-6B

A high quality Belgian Air Force DC-6B. Original by Greg Pepper, Tom Gibson, and the Cal Classics crew. Belgian Air Force version by HQ27 Textures. Automatic engine smoke added. BAF artwork by Paul J. Kellens.

Except for the textures, I added engine smoke at high MAP settings.

This will together with the SmokeProp45MAP.CAB in the panel directory, create engine smoke at settings of more than 45 MAP.

• Put the "texture.baf" folder in your DC-6 folder.
• Overwrite the panel.cfg with the provided one and copy SmokeProp45MAP.CAB to the panel or the gauge subdirectory.

Thanks to Greg Pepper, Tom Gibson, and the Cal Classics crew for such a great package, and for a paint kit that makes things easy.
