You'd have to recompile the model to add bump maps as it won't currently be looking for any.
ACES/MS habit of naming bump maps OriginalName_bump.dds doesn't help as people thing the _bump tag indicates something to the game whereas it's actually just to make it easier for the seat/keyboard interface.

Dave, you're an absolute star! I only asked in case it was a common install problem or something silly I'd done. I really didn't expect you to come along and produce an actual fix.
Thanks very much for this. I'll just have to blame those bleedin' ATC lads from the estate for the missing accelerometer needles!

Wrong; the only available that is compatible with both, unless you include AI models

LOL!...If there were ten others available, I wouldn't be going there. The chances of any Chipmunk being better than Rick's are zero :flying:

Dave don't be daft.....
You completely misread what I wrote.

What I was
MEANT to say was its the only Chipmunk available for both sims, therefore ruling out any competition, unless you include AI models (which obviously wouldn't beat Rick's Chippy...that would like comparing the AI Aardvark 747-400 to the PMDG one for a example).
I think someones' out to make me look like a right pillock!!!
