This 3-D art also looks very nice and maybe this will help to work out the details.
I am really looking forward to your implementation of this extraordinary aircraft.
Can we expect to see it on Xbox then post Sim update 10? Just wanting to know because I am really into this project and would love to fly this thing!
It should be coming to Xbox, all depends on Microsoft at this point, everything is native so should work.

The quantity and quality of your work is nothing short of amazing. Seriously. Some entire teams of people can’t show progress like this.
I’m following this thread closely, anticipating release day like a kid waiting for Christmas morning. Thank you so much for your dedication and consistency to this project. Greatly appreciated!

Cool screenshot! A Facebook friend of mine, and fellow aviation photographer Rich Cooper, took the original photo that shot is based on . Looking forward to this addon being released. Incredible work thus far.

There were actually “Two” F-117’s painted with the US Flag pattern on their bellies, for an Informal retirement flyover ceremony at Wright Patterson AFB. They were both from the 49th Fighter Wing based out of Holloman AFB, NM. Senior MSgt Kim Frey, assigned to the 121st Air Refueling Wing, took the airborne photos in 2008.
Yes, as far as I know, 812, the aircraft with the most desert storm missions also had the flag scheme. 843, the last one built, is the one I chose to do. I think 782 also wore the scheme at one point.

This week was all external texturing. So far 4 schemes are done. I have used the decal system to my advantage. I will include 4-5 wear levels for the black base repaints, then to great any black aircraft the only thing you need to supply is one texture and alias the rest to one of the included wear level paints. This makes livery creation really easy, and the downloads are very small.
Next week will be more of the same, but I start my new job tomorrow so progress will slow a bit, luckily there isn’t much left to do!
Here is a Screenshot dump, mostly of the highest wear level. As always WIP, the parachute is not done and the gear and bomb bays still need some attention.

Such an interesting shape. I’m not a big military flyer but if this is reasonably priced I’ll probably pick it up.
As a side question, is it actually any good as a fighter, or dog-fighter? (I get that stealth planes are not supposed to get into dogfights, but…)
It might get out of the way for the first SAM/AA missle, but after that it’s dead in the water. 6g load limit, 13 degree AOA limit, terrible negative G performance, really low power to weight ratio. The whole point of it is not to get to that point in the first place. It has characteristics of its contemporary fighters, but not the performance.

I have a question; When might we see a video regarding the aircraft flight profile and/or cockpit functionality? I do VERY much appreciate the classified nature of the aircraft (as a former NFO), but I am curious about what the aircraft will be like to fly? Thanks in advance for looking at my question!

Add my Name to that Request! I would offer my considerable Test Pilot skills at no cost if you are strapped for time to make that video. Really want to see how well that drogue chute functions..:)) That’s a duty assignment that is on my Wish List.. lol.
As far as cockpit functionality id say refer to the OP for the intended functionality. No CDU or custom FCS implementation, atm UFC is INOP except for hud control but that may change soon. AHRS and ECS panels aren’t simulated except for engine bleed air, and the FLIR/DLIR panel is currently INOP, which I’m also hoping to change. Only Master Test mode is lights. Otherwise the rest of the plane should function as the real aircraft.
For the flight model, it’s close but needs some tweaks and another overall run-through of drag. I have some issues with the autopilot I need to fix and the default FCS implementation is reasonably different to the one an F-117 had, so some functions are hard to simulate without making a custom FCS as IFE have done in their F-35.
Once these things are sorted I may think about a video showcasing them, but by the time I do that it would already be submitted to the marketplace 
Anyway, here’s a pic
