How to Fix Textures in FSX

"FSX" stands for "Microsoft Flight Simulator X," and is a 2006 simulation game for personal computers. The game allows you to take to the skies in various aircraft. The popularity of the game has led fans to release many free add-ons and extras for it on-line. While these can enhance the experience of players, it can also lead to a few problems. One issue is textures in the game. Sometimes the textures disappear from the aircraft and scenery, which can make the game become unplayable. A free fix is available on-line for this problem.
