Description
Flying Tiger Line, also known as Flying Tigers, was the first scheduled cargo airline in the United States and a major military charter operator during the Cold War era for both cargo and personnel (the latter with leased aircraft). The airline was bought by Federal Express in 1988. During the Korean War, Flying Tiger aircraft were chartered to transport troops and supplies from the United States to Asia; Flying Tigers later received a cargo route award to Japan, China, and Southeast Asia. The airline also played a major role in the construction of the Distant Early Warning Line, flying equipment to remote outposts in northern Canada and Alaska. This is my rendition of N34959, a DC-6A used for long haul cargo flights into remote areas of the world.

Your livery is simply fantastic. Therefore, I'm still trying to make my Ops Center working with the help of PMDG. Didn't fix the problem right now. Do you think it would be possible to upload your texture without using Ops Center, otherwise I can't use it for now.
Thanks.

It’s a known issue. I will see if I can get them all fixed and uploaded again for you

Thanks a lot. I changed the lines in the texture files as suggested what fixed 4 or 5 of my liveries but not yours.

Very nice job! Thanks. If you're still looking for other liveries, I have a great photo of one of the few Eastern Air Lines DC-6b's, and some artwork that could serve as a base to start. Hint! :)
