Bind the NWS to (N) on the keyboard… you don’t need it on the flight stick. The chute is more important for landing. Trim down before take off and when you gear up it doesn’t pitch so abruptly. I agree this plane is a masterpiece once you learn the envelope and the community has given some great feedback.
I’ve had a few flights in this now and am quite enjoying it. It’s not the fastest, most manoeuvrable or prettiest looking mil jet but there’s something really cool about sitting in that cockpit flying along in the middle of the night.
It has some interesting handling characteristics. I managed to get it into a flat spin whilst messing about and somehow managed to recover from it after a couple of minutes tumbling to earth, lucky I started quite high! Landing can be quite tricky as well. Gotta keep the speed up and be at the right AoA which this bird isn’t really happy with.
Systems and avionics are pretty simple really, I wish you could have the ILS and TACAN info up on one of the main screens instead of having to peer at the backup instruments. Autopilot can be a bit weird at times. It worked alright mostly but during my last flight it wanted to pitch up like crazy whenever I tried to engage it.
I do wish some more of those switches were clickable even if they have no function like the Master Arm Switch and the Oxygen system switches, just for immersions sake. Also I wish the cold and dark start was more cold and dark. A fair few switches are already on like the generators and APU fuel thingy.
Overall pretty pleased with this and glad it finally appeared outside the marketplace.
Also we need this as a livery!

Hello! @AerialSim Any news on the external camera distance change/fix? I’d also like to know if the aircraft will be available to buy anytime soon at FlightSim. Thanks and keep it up the good work! 
I cant do anything about the camera, it’s a sim issue. Its not going to be sold anywhere else.
Ok no worries, thanks for response!
Amazing job, @AerialSim -Retired Air Force Crew Chief, I worked the 117 for a bit. Dead on for most things in the seat. Funny you have the glare shields fold open, it’s not common for a JHMCS or Oxygen hose to get left hanging outside the canopy and get smashed especially during bad weather after shutdown. Awesome job again sir considering how much is still classified.

I’m presently working on a payware version of the X-47B. I’ll show show some screenshots when the external modeling is finished.

Here’s good news for all my F-117 Nighthawk friends out there!
Btw. any news about 3D models of weapon? I have ORBX version.
They have been part of the package since release, but there is a bug where it’s only set up if you use lbs as or weight unit, next update will allow for KG as well. But if you swap you will be able to see them.

Ok, thank you. Any roadmap for 2023 with F-117 or its finished now?
Maybe GPS map (from the top) on MFD? This button doesnt work.
There will be another update with a couple more features, but mostly just fixes and adjustments. No plans for a GPS map.

Can I turn off NWS sys? NWS is only for taxi, during take off it should be turn off. I cant find info in the manual (the best way - the same key like block tailwhell in MSFS, just idea).
I’m having a bit of trouble with the manual. It is a pity that many things are omitted and you have to look for them, guessing around the cockpit. Some functions work, some are INOP. It could be good to have more infos, especially if these functions or features have been modeled. For example TACAN. Ok, we have info how to turn it on, but… where is a table of conversion from TACAN to CIV frequencies? 
No any info how to set up. For example in my military addons (but for P3Dv5) I have table in manual for this. Btw. I cant turn on ILS symbols on digital HSI, just works on backup HSI, no on HUD also but in the real its present. Model is fantastic but needs still tweaks.
I know that writing the manual is boring 
but it helps a lot for new users, always
Btw. its possible to have it default F-18, co you can implement this too:
Maybe one day?
The only thing missing from the manual is weapon weights. Otherwise, it’s all there.
Oh no, you can write more, Im sure. Model has more options. Even its good idea to add description for the whole cockpit with info what is working or are INOP (but with the real function). Description of each switch. Its normal for payware quality addons.
About TACAN. I found here interesting material, its good idea to add too this table from 8th page (only TACAN and VOR (table conversion) https://www.ntia.doc.gov/legacy/osmhome/redbook/4d.pdf . I checked 5 VOR and it works perfect with the model. Its very helpful for user of F-117 too and navigation between civilans freq.

Ok, the next question, do you know which key or button from MSFS manages this knob (CDI/CRS)?
Id like to save it on my panel. Much better than using of mouse. TY.
btw.
Some shots from my side.
