Some textures do not show up. They will be blank grey, black, or white. Pull up the texture files and they will read corrupt file. Most of the time on aircraft with dynamic shine. Any fixes for this??? Reflections is on!!!

Graphics card?
System Specs?

because it could be any number of things that are causing the textures not to show.

These textures are most likely in Extended BMP format. You would need a converter like DXTBmp to open them. As Eno says, it could be a number of things. Without knowing your system specs (or even which sim you have) I would suspect your video card or drivers.

Is it the whole aircraft that is grey? could be somthing as simple as missing textures or the aircraft.cfg isn't correct.

As said the textures will always read 'unable to show this texture' unless a prog like DXTbmp is used.
