Hi,
Recently I decided to install some aircraft liveries for the default Cessna 208B aircraft in FS2004, however, despite following the instructions in the readme file in the aircraft liveries addon that I installed, when I select the addon liveries, the aircraft texture does not show and the whole aircraft appears grey/white in colour both in the simulator itself as well as in the selection menu.
Things I have tried doing to fix the issue (which have not worked unfortunately):
1. Making sure all addon livery texture folders are in the aircraft folder for the Cessna 208B caravan
2. Making sure that all the edits were done to the aircraft .cfg file for the Cessna 208B caravan, including ensuring the texture= had the right pointer to the right texture folder
3. Ensuring the texture files are in the DDS image format (which they already were in)
Despite trying all this however, I still can't seem to resolve this problem and the aircraft textures continue to remain grey/white and blank when I choose the addon liveries. I was wondering if someone could help me with this problem/ provide me with advice on how to fix this issue.
Here are some images of the problem I am facing right now:
I also apologise in advance if I am not able to provide enough details regarding the problem as I am not sure which ones to provide as well which will be beneficial in effectively resolving this issue I am experiencing right now, do let me know if there are any other important information/details I need to provide and I will provide them as soon as I can. I apologise if I have posted in the wrong subforum as well as this is my first time using this website and this is my first post as well. I have also tried searching online for solutions for the problem I am having but despite trying them out they do not seem to resolve the problem which is why I decided to make this post here.
Here is my aircraft .cfg file for the Cessna Caravan 208B which I am trying to install the new liveries in:

I would genuinely appreciate if someone could help me/ provide advice on how to resolve this issue I am currently facing in Microsoft Flight Simulator 2004.
