Is there a tutorial anywhere on how to create those blue bump maps? The lines & rivets in Willy's paint kit desperately need bump mapping!

Every time I've thought I had bump maps figured out, a new angle on them pops up. I've the PhotoShop plug in and the Paint.net one. I keep getting a dark blue bump map (got a green one once) that show the mesh lines in the model. Obviously, I'm missing a step or two here.
Hi Milton
Another couple of points as I beta test the release version. I noticed this morning that on the radio window if I attempt to manipulate the NAV-1 dial the NAV-2 moves and I can manipulate the NAV-2 normally but I am unable to effect any frequency change on the NAV-1. In addition it also appears that the pitch control on the autopilot is not working. I can move the wheel "nose up" or "nose down" but there is no apparent effect on on the airplane attitude.
Thanks
Warren

And how it looks in FS. The metal became "glowing" and what I believe to be the mesh is showing through. It's really visible in the orange nose of the cowling. But no bumps.
Off to try something else.
Someone really needs to do the "Idiot's Guide to FSX Bump Maps". That pdf file Milton posted is helpful, but some of the last steps using Model Converter X just didn't match up with what I was getting in MCX.

Warren,
The radio is setup for Nav1 to have a standby that is set in Nav2, with a Swap Freq switch just below Nav2 dial.
There is also a swap switch in the center of the radio that swaps between Nav1 and ADF2 using the Radio compass.
This is the Radio setup in the cfg for the wheeled version:
[Radios] // available, standby frequency, has glide slope
Audio.1 = 1
Com.1 = 1, 1
Com.2 = 1, 0
Nav.1 = 1, 1, 1
Nav.2 = 1, 0, 0
Adf.1 = 1
Adf.2 = 1
Transponder.1 = 1
Marker.1 = 1
You can turn off the Nav1 standby by changing the Nav.1 to 1,0,1.
Or, deactivate the Nav.2 by changing Nav.2 = 0,0,0
Nav.1 = 1, 1, 1
Nav.2 = 1, 0, 0
This is the way the amphibian was set up in the aircraft.cfg; it may be less confusing for you:
[Radios] // available, standby frequency, has glide slope
Audio.1 = 1
Com.1 = 1, 1
Com.2 = 1, 0
Nav.1 = 1, 1, 1
Nav.2 = 0, 0, 0
Adf.1 = 1
Adf.2 = 1
Transponder.1 = 1
Marker.1 = 1
It does look good Willy.
Specular looks right but seems the reflectivity is a bit high though.
Francis, nothing wrong with your English; I understand it perfectly.
The "model_interior" file is added by the sim to the main folder for me anyhow. You can delete it, and it will likely reappear after flying again.
Based on the few issues discussed in the last few days, I assume all the reports are in.
Today, I will update the archive in place with the changes discussed and a few that were not discussed over the last few days.
I will note the update in the description and update the archive to v1.1.

Warren,
The pitch hold seems to work here for me. It will not, of course, hold a pitch that is unsustainable.
I am using these Autopilot settings in the cfg per my previous post:
use_no_default_bank=0 //Leave as 0 for the Lear AP
use_no_default_pitch=0 //Leave as 0 for the Lear AP
default_pitch_mode=1 //1 = pitch hold or 2 = Altitude hold
default_bank_mode=2 // 1 = Wing Level Hold, 2 = Heading Hold (current heading)
I have updated the archive with all the changes, now V1.1, and noted in the description.
The changes, mostly minor were wide and varied so I simply replaced the original files.
If you want the updates, you must download the full package.
If you do so, protect any changes you made to the previous version.

MIlton, thanks and well done again for another great old aeroplane for FSX now nicely brought up to date. Very much appreciated.
