hello to all,

  I don't know what I have done or changed, but today after downloading an aircraft file from simviation I have lost a lot of my aircraft textures. All the FSX aircraft are fine, but my downloaded aircraft only show up white and no paint or textures.   I am looking for some help to restore the aircraft textures.

Thanks for any help

Uncheck the box next to 'Preview DirectX 10' in the Display settings.

FS2004 aircraft 'converted' to FSX do not display correctly in Dx10 preview mode.
 

At that time [1909] the chief engineer was almost always the chief test pilot as well. That had the fortunate result of eliminating poor engineering early in aviation.          Igor Sikorsky

You can find the option by going to Options/Settings/Display.  On the right side you should see an box labeled "Preview Direct X 10".  Make sure this box is unchecked.  Hope this helps.
