Historic Jet Group, hosted here at www.simviation.com/hjg has a ton of Eastern Airline aircraft.  To install, right click on the zip file and uncompress the file.  There should be a read me file that tells you where and how to install the files to FSX, in the Sim Objects folder.

This should help:

What I usually do is create a new folder on my hard drive and name it Temp, or whatever you would like to call it.  I then direct any file I download to go there, so I have a common place to store them.  That is the first step to downloading an aircraft from the internet.  Then you can start following the other directions on how to install the download. 

Don't get frustrated, we will try to help you get the most out of your flight sim.

Hi RAMPRAT. Before attempting to offer advice it would help to know which operating system (version of Windows) you're using. The basic principles will be the same but there are differences between Windows XP, Vista & Windows 7.

It's all very well saying create or make folders but a raw beginner will have no idea how to do that. We need to go right back to basics here.

First you need to know how to access the C: drive. This will depend on the OS. I'm not familiar with Vista or Win7 so no longer feel qualified to offer advice except in general terms.

My usual  method of creating folders is from the right-click (right mouse button) options: New > Folder. This works in WinXP & I assume it's the same for Vista/Win7.

Then you need to direct downloads to the folder you created from your browser options. This will depend on which browser you're using. There's so many variables nowadays it's impossible to write even a basic tutorial.

It's not absolutely necessary to use 3rd party software like WinZip to extract zipfiles. Windows has its own "Compressed Folders" utility which I've used to extract zipped files for many years without a single problem.

Right. I assume you're using the Internet Explorer 8 browser.

It's a long time since I've done this. I can't promise anything but I'll have a go at walking you through it. First of all to help you understand what I'm talking about please read my Windows Basics article. http://www.simviation.com/lair/Windows%20Basics.htm

Also read my Working with Windows article & set your Folder Options like mine. http://www.simviation.com/lair/windows.htm (To open a folder double-click on the My Documents icon on your Desktop.)

Tell me when you've done that & we'll go on to the next step. We'll download & install the 757-200 package here --> http://simviation.com/1/search?submit=1&keywords=POSKY-757-200_Winglets_ver.1.1....

Click on the link & save the file to your My Documents folder. (This is the default location for downloaded files.)

You're going off at a tangent.  We won't get anywhere unless you follow my instructions. Please tell me when you've done what I said in my previous reply. Then we can continue.

It sounds like you've got the general idea of this. To save a lot of messing around I'll write a proper walk-through when I have a few minutes & post it on my Lair. I'll post the link here when it's done.
