Good news for all British Eagle fans!
Here is the second of the three British Eagle DC-6B. After G-APSA has already been quite successful and has been downloaded diligently, I am confident that G-APON will also find great interest.
If you didn't download G-APSA yet, you can do that right now:
G-APSA
Since there is no significant difference between the aircraft designs, it won't be long before the third DC-6B is available here - the VR-BBQ, also known as the Bermuda Eagle.
Don't miss out on the completion of your British Eagle family!
After all three planes have been released, I will adjust the differences between the models (gloss, metalness etc.) and publish an update.
Besides of the British Eagle family, you should also get the "Virtual Blue Angels" livery, which has been officially and exclusively published on behalf of the famous air show team.

Version 1.7-SU9
The zip-file contains 3 folders:
- DC-6 performance files for LNM and SimBrief
- Livery as ptp-file
- Livery as Drag&Drop folder
- A text file with a Quick Tutorial for the Drag&Drop method
Please DO NOT upload my files anywhere else!

Quick tutorial
Removing a livery:
If you still have liveries installed in the (old) PMDG main DC6 folder:
Step 1: remove the respective livery folder (...Community > pmdg-aircraft-dc6 > SimObjects > Airplanes > PMDG DC-6A resp. PMDG DC-6B)
Step 2: delete the entry of the respective livery in the aircraft.cfg file located in the same folder by using an editor like "Notepad++".
Step 3: Adjust the [fltsim.X] order numbers accordingly if there are still other liveries installed.
Remark: Liveries which are in the (old) PMDG main DC6 folder do still work but won't be shown in the PMDG Ops Center livery overview. Hence I would recommend to move them into the new PMDG livery folder as described below.
Liveries which are installed in both folders will cause issues!
(Re-)Installing a livery via PMDG Ops Center:
Step 1: unzip the file you downloaded
Step 2: run PMDG Ops Center and open "Livery utilities" in the "Aircraft and Liveries" tab
Step 3: click "Install from PTP file" in the lower left corner, locate and install the downloaded ptp-file
Step 4: as soon as you see the "Sucessfully installed" message, click OK and you are good to go
(Re-)Installing a livery by using the Drag&Drop method:
Step 1: unzip the file you downloaded
Step 2: copy/paste or move the folder you got into "pmdg-aircraft-dc6-liveries > SimOjects > Airplanes"
Step 3: update the layout.json file, located in "...Community > pmdg-aircraft-dc6-liveries" either manually
or - which I highly recommend - by using the MSFSLayoutGenerator (v1.1.0) created by HughesMDflyer4, available for free on Github. After you installed this tiny program just drag the layout.json file, located in "...Community > pmdg-aircraft-dc6-liveries" onto the MSFSLayoutGenerator.exe icon and your new livery will be added in just a second.
Note: You will not see or be able to select a newly installed livery in the thumbnail bar at the bottom of the DC-6 window unless you updated the layout.json file. Liveries which have been installed via Drag&Drop are not being listed in the PMDG Ops Center - Livery Utilities - window.
If you remove a livery which was installed via Drag&Drop you also have to update the layout.json file.
Use the MSFSLayoutGenerator again as described above.

Have a nice flight!

I think the Bermuda livery shouldn't make any trouble. Thanks again for your help with the Royal Mail logo!
