file download size & missing textures(747-400F) only

[kevinh]

Firstly, apologies to PMDG support for the wild goose chase. Now I'll explain what I did wrong!I'm not a fan of House liveries (I only want to fly realistic liveries: no fakes and no developer house paintwork) so to save disk space I wanted to get rid of the 747-400 house textures, amongst others. I was aware that house liveries often contain common textures, so I zipped them up rather than deleting them. Then forgot all about it. Clearly the 747F installer takes texture folder from the 747-400 and copies it to the 747F folder, before writing freighter specific textures in. Mine only had a zip file in it. Hence the missing textures. :(Had I tried to install a new 747-400 livery the same thing would have happened.I can only guess that others reporting the same problems have also deleted the PMDG house livery textures, or somehow corrupted the original texture folder.So once again, apologies to PMDG for questioning their installer program.Kevin
