Hey guys. Been flying the PMDG MD-11. I must say, awesome aircraft. Last night i decided it was time to download and install some liveries. I did just that. But then FSX would not start up and gave me errors. Come to find out...the entire Texture file was GONE. Had to reinstall FSX and all my planes again. Any ideas as to why it does this?

Joel, where did you get the liveries from? They could have had a corupt file in them which could have caused that.

I have never had a problem as I have a large collection of MD-11 liveries.

And you are sure you downloaded the FSX versions?

yeah...they were the FSX version. I have tried three time now. Twice the texture file was just gone. The third time copied the texture file and then copied it back after installing a livery. FSX ran fine. but there was no MD-11 to be found. I guess i'll just have to fly it with the default livery.

I remember that happening to me in the MD-11. Had to reinstall FSX twice after it deleted my texture folder. Only way around it that I found was downloading your repaints from AVSIM and Flightsim.com, and manually installing it.

It can do that if it wasn't registered properly or it is an illegal copy of the MD-11. PMDG has put this bomb into the livery installers and updates to prevent piracy by screwing your FS up, but a few legit users experience this every once in a while.

Yeah. Pretty much when you install a livery or update, if it doesn't detect a legit copy, it will delete your FS Texture folder.
