Black textures for IRIS aircraft in P3Dv4.1

I'm getting a weird problem in P3Dv4.1, that has just suddenly started happening. All the IRIS aircraft that I have installed in P3Dv4.1 (warthog, F15 and the P3D Raptor) have suddenly started showing black textures on the outside of the aircraft as shown in the attached screenshot. If I load the aircraft, the outside also is black. This only affects IRIS aircraft, including the default F22 Raptor. All the other aircraft in the hangar (and there are quite a few) show just fine. This has only just started happening as well. I last used P3Dv4.1 4-5 weeks ago, and at that time, the IRIS aircraft showed okay. The only changes since then have been some sceneries installed, JustFlight VC10, and a few other additions. Also installed a number of AI aircraft. Anybody seen this before, and does anybody have ideas, suggestions etc? Could this be related to the number of aircraft I have installed?

Check the maximum texture resolution slider in the settings. If it's fine, then you might want to delete your shaders (in appdata\local\...) and restart the sim.

Many thanks for your suggestions, unfortunately neither resolved my issue. I did finally get the textures back on the IRIS aircraft... I deactivated a large number of sceneries using SimStarter, and the textures on the F22 and Warthog came back. I guess this suggests some memory issue, maybe a combination of too many sceneries (I had 535 + 59 in the add-ons) and too many aircraft (273 folders in aircraft/rotorcraft) blow the Iris textures away, just a guess. It's odd though that only the Iris aircraft seemed to be affected, at least as far as I could tell.

Anyway, hopefully if anybody else sees a similar problem, my experience above will help.
