Two or three days ago there were several of JK's textures for the WoS L-049 Connie posted on this site. They are intended for use, apparently, primarily in P3D but should work in FSX.
I downloaded six of these textures and all installs functioned flawlessly with one exception, the Air France download (JK_A2A_Constellation_Air_France.zip). Installation resulted in the following sequence:
-check both boxes for transfer to FSX aircraft file, and get following msg in WinZip dialog box:
-Central and local directory mismatch for file "texture.JK_AirFranceA/Thumbnail.jpg" (crc-32 - local; 803DA5CC hex central: 72A500C7 hex).
-Press OK and get following action - Extracting Thumbnail.jpg.
-WinZip window opens with: Would you like WinZip to try to continue with the next file?
-Select "Yes"
-Get following msg in WinZip dialog box: Unable to find the local header for texture.JK_AirFranceB\L049_1_t.dds.

Severe Error: Local and central CRC values don't match.
Sorry about the length of this but wanted to be sure I completely illustrated what was happening. Don't know if this is due to the settings on my machine or a flaw w/WinZip or the file itself.
