FSX / P3D Repaint

FSX Douglas DC-6 NX90701

Douglas DC-6 NX90701 textures recreate the first production airframe that flew on 10 July 1946, as used by Douglas for flight test and certification before becoming American Airlines NC90701. Designed for FSX, the repaint adds authentic markings for a classic propliner and requires Jens B. Kristensen’s Douglas DC-6 base package.

  • First, make sure that the base model is installed on your system.
  • Find the JBK Douglas DC-6 folder on your system, and place the texture.NX90701 there.

Requires dependencies

This file is a repaint — the package below is the base model it paints onto. Install it first, or the textures will have nothing to load onto.

How to install this mod

FSX / P3D Repaint
  1. Extract the downloaded archive

    Use 7-Zip (free) or WinRAR to extract the ZIP to a temporary folder. Don't install while still zipped — the simulator can't read inside ZIP files.
  2. Add livery to base aircraft folder

    Place the texture folder (typically texture.{airline}) inside FSX\SimObjects\Airplanes\{base-aircraft}\.
  3. Update aircraft.cfg

    Open the base aircraft.cfg in Notepad. Add a new [fltsim.X] section per the readme.
  4. Always read the included readme

    Every mod ships with a readme.txt or README file. It tells you exactly where files go, what dependencies are needed, and any quirks specific to this add-on.
