Unfortunately, some designers will not tell you that their models were originally designed for FS2004 and the FSX version is 'adapted' to work, NOT native FSX. Hence the prop behind the clouds and black textures.
Sometimes, depending on the particular model, the black textures can be fixed. Most often, the prop problem can't. I have a couple of payware aircraft that are like this and will not buy any more from that designer because
they did not tell me before I bought. On the other hand, A2A's great P-51 had the prop issue and they issued a patch that fixed it. They know how to keep their customers happy, not to mention they build fantastic models.
As to fixing the black textures, I can't help you with it, but someone else might be able to.

If God intended aircraft engines to have horizontally opposed engines, Pratt and Whitney would have made them that way.
