    It has been 3 years since I posted this? It feels like yesterday. I wiped my hard drive to do a clean install of Windows 10 to try to solve some USB 3.0 driver issues that cropped up when I got my original Oculus Rift. I didn't bother to save my KAW install. It would be a lot of work to tweak it back to the way I had it, so I haven't had flown KAW in quite a while. I enjoy flying the F-86 and MiG-15 in DCS World, but I really miss the F2H-2.

    The last "Midway" movie by Roland Emmerich was bullshit to the power of 3. A waste of money and time.

    I usually do bump maps based on white background (255,255,255) white black panel lines, rivets etc. Then export as *.bmp. After that, I open a file in Shader Map3 - which makes nice bump maps where you can adjust the intensity, sharpness, etc...Then SM3 exports by default as high-quality *.TGA...after that converting to also good quality jpg or bmp is just a piece of the pie. If need lines depressed and rivets bulged I am making two separate bump maps and then merging together.

    Hey Ant, I find some of this info confusing and there are obviously varying opinions. I started writing a long explanation but decided to stay on the "bump map" topic and add another opinion to the mix: For a majority of bump maps, in my opinion I would recommend .bmp esp. if you are trying to preserve "pixel accuracy" of the original texture. Any other lossy format can result in smear/blur artifacts as pixels get sampled during compression and by far the greatest impact would be to areas that have contrasting brightness/luminescence - say like brighter rivets contrasted against a "shadow". So there you have another viewpoint.

    I got mine direct from Thrustmaster in August.....looks like you may need to wait to the end of the month for more.....demand was possibly pushed up by Covid and MSFS2020. https://shop.thrustmaster.com/en_gb/pc/hotas-warthogtm-flight-stick.html The Cougar stick should work on the Warthog base.

    Done some more testing, and the problem seems to be that the definition sections for the SovietBomber formation in the stock Formation.INI file did not have enough elements. Copy this amended version of Formation.INI to your Flight folder, and the problem should be fixed. FORMATION.INI
