Carrier textures

I have tried to install several carrier packages into FS that are from SimV download area. Each time I get the same result. The carriers are where they are meant to be, but always without textures. I have checked the addon scenary folders, the textures are present, but they are not appearing, just the grey forms. All the animation functions, I am able to take off, land etc. I know warships are meant to be grey, but this is taking a little far. Any ideas??

You'll need to describe your folder structure in more detail in
order for anyone to try to isolate your problem.

I have several carriers installed on my system and each has
a similar folder structure.

here are a couple of examples:

Addon Scenery
   |
    ----- Carriers 2006
   |               |
   |                ----- scenery
   |               |
   |                ----- texture
   |
    ------ USS Stennis
   |               |
   |                ----- scenery
   |               |
   |                ----- texture
           
The "Carriers 2006" is the updated version of the "Carriers 2004"
package. The "USS Stennis" is the relocatable Stennis package,
CVN-74.

Some install notes may direct you to place textures in the
main Addon Scenery\textures folder but I generally ignore
this and use the folder structure indicated above. Since I have
four FS9 installations on my machine that all share a common
Addon Scenery folder, this makes it much easier to have only
the desired scenery addons enabled and loaded for the particular
version I am running at the time.
