The question was: 

The seven liveries at Flightsim.to for the CS 767 400ER and the CS 717 for MSFS, that I have downloaded and installed, all work.
My guess is that the problem that is the subject of this topic is local, rather than universal.

Nah CS were quite clear about making it impossible to do real repaints for some of the 767s. They tried to pass it off as not wanting the sheer horror of poor quality repaints from FS.TO, so you should buy their 8k liveries instead.

LOL...yeah.   Funny thing is that if everyone knew about the "8K" texture craze, they'd re-think their desire for them.

I'll not get into the minor details, as when I start talking Flightsim livery design and painting, I tend to go overboard, LOL.  Call it an occupational hazard (I like to paint, sue me, hehe)

 8k textures are not twice the size of 4k...they are 16 times larger!  However, when 8k is used logically and only in areas it really matters on the model, you can have a great outcome of both quality and performance.

When it comes to CS 8k textures though...they are more concerned about showing you stunning still photos for their sales and marketing stuff than they are for the performance in MSFS.  For example....do you really need 8k textures for the APU and main engine interiors?  CS seems to think so, and make no mistake...they look lovely. But for some textures you're going to see ONLY on the ground during a walk around and when you get tired of them after the first few times marveling at them...they are stealing your FPS in the sky...who wants that?

The iniBuilds A300 is a good example of how to do 8k properly...only used in areas where you'll see it a lot.  But it can still be a performance hit on modest systems set to higher settings.  A 4090 is not going to care though...so if you have one you'll be saying "They run just fine for me".  Hehe, with 24gb of DDR6x memory...they darn well better!

Anyway....CS is a horrible Dev however you look at it, and you'll never convince me otherwise.  If you must buy from them...do it on the 24hr $9.99 sale they seem to have yearly around Christmas.  Don't expect the plane to fly like the real one (without help from some great 3rd party guys out there that mod it), and forget about support...esp after they release the next exterior shell to peddle to the masses.
