My friend and I are noticing this problem flying the C152 and A152 also. Some liveries work fine, others have the issues you mention (pink textures and reverting to default liveries at low LOD levels) Also seeing other problems where the entire cockpit is missing from the plane of another player. Prop textures missing or not animated, wheels not animated, etc.
I’ve noticed in the “texture.cfg” folder for liveries that have the pink textures issue the line:
“fallback.10=…......\texture\Planes_Generic”
is missing from the folder. Adding this line has fixed the pink textures for me a majority of the time.
As far as the liveries snapping to default at lower LOD’s, I cannot for the life of me decipher what the problem could be. I was hoping maybe someone out there may have figured it out and could help.
The missing cockpit textures are a mystery because it seems that it’s a random failure of the sim to load the proper files. Backing out to the main menu and re initiating the flight from the world map tends to resolve the missing cockpit after one or two attempts.
We’ve reverted to flying with empty community folders and default liveries because they simply do not work. Even still the default liveries experience the missing cockpit issues even with empty community folders.
Also the “other” thread reporting the problem seems to have been removed so…that’s cool I guess.
