Installation in FS2004:

The package only includes the texture files for this repainted aircraft. So you must already have installed the DC-6B model from Calclassic with the larger prop spinners, i.e. the Western Airlines 1957 DC-6B.

Extract the downloaded zip-file to a temporary folder of your choice. Find the Microsoft Games\Flight Simulator 9\Aircraft\'Your DC-6B'-folder on your system and place the extracted folder (texture.dc6_G-APSA_01) there.

Use a text editor such as Notepad to add the following section to your 'Douglas-DC-6B' aircraft.cfg file following the "fltsim" sections already present and replace the xx by the next number in sequence:
