I think I've found the texture (at least the scenery where it is contained). It's the airport for MSFS 2020 FZFK, Gemena, in Congo Democratic Republic. I don't know which texture it is in particular, but testing, I've installed this airport and the issue disappears!

The scenery must have compiled and skipped this texture for some reason.
I will get this update.
Thanks again!

Fantastic airport. Very well done!, like all the previous ones (for MSFS 2020 and 2024).
I've found a possible bug: there are two piles of (construction?) material that appear without texture (i.e., pink).
I have all the libraries needed installed and up to date.
I've looked at my other Vortex scenery, but I haven't found the missing texture.
Thank you very much and best regards.
By the way. It's impossible for me to enter in your discord account.

I will update towards the end of this week and see if I can fix this.
