Aerial Simulations F-117

That is correct. White Star is circled by a white ring. Checkout this flight.

Everything looks and sounds good so far! A showcase video after things are done might be helpful to highlight the product, as well as give consumers a chance to evaluate the aircraft. Personally I for one, will most likely be making this a day one purchase and if everything holds up well, then so will my squad. Looking forward to test flying this thing!

This looks more amazing with every update! I can’t wait to finally see what that cockpit view looks like by flying this in VR.

Thanks to the recommendation above, I’m reading Ben Rich’s book now. Awesome read. Are there any books that go into more detail about the operation of the F-117?

There are quite a number of great Reference Books out there. Here are a few.

  1. Have Blue, and the F-117A: Evolution of the Stealth Fighter. 1997 - by Albert C Piccirillo.

  2. Stealth Technology: How Aircraft Becomes Invisible? 2021

  3. Stealth : The Secret Race to Invent an Invisible Airplane, 2020 by Peter Westwick.
    Westwick,s book, (my Favorite), is The Story behind the two USAF stealth aircraft, the F-117A,
    and the B-2 bomber. 272 pages long… Oxford University Press Copyright.

NOTE: NEITHER of these Important Stealth Aircraft are currently available in MSFS 2020… but maybe Soon!!!

The list is shrinking, but my day job is taking up a lot of time at the moment, hopefully will have the bulk of it done over the weekend.

I have created the discord that I will use for support and as another update channel, feel free to join.

The navy almost had a version of the aircraft would have been the F117 Seahawk which was NATO’s former plan to put the f117 on carriers

The USN now has this instead…

Its done.

Today I finished off the last few features, and fixed the last few bugs I knew about. Now all that is left is to make a manual that explains a few of the quirks of the plane, and fill out the marketplace data before I submit it to Microsoft. The soonest anyone will be able to see it for themselves will still be a while away, but during that time I will work on more payload options for any non-marketplace versions. I’ll also make a trailer and possible some short feature videos, and hope that no massive bugs appear :joy:

Great news! So does it look like soon? Maybe direct after SU10? :slight_smile: I’m interested non marketplace version. I need weapons! :D. Pls add it to JustFlight, Simmarket and PCAviator store (maybe ORBX Direct too?).

Btw. If manual will be ready maybe you can publish it somewhere without the model, as free download?

Btw2. Does the TV screen work? It will be nice to see something here, even top - down static camera picture in black&white FLIR, directed at 45 degrees downwards, e.g. (idea).

Example from MSFS F-35 model (Indiafoxtecho), so its possible:

So something like this :wink:

It will be cool feature, especially for flying at night.

Btw3. Will it possible too to have NVG for F-117 model? See this:

second example

https://www.reddit.com/r/flightsim/comments/jvfvm0/night_vision_goggles_via_reshade_in_mfs2020/

It will be cool feature as well.

I think most of them would even like to wait for both of these features. :pray: :heart_eyes:

I agree that Justflight, simmarket and Orbx will be fine.

Can’t wait to have a go at flying this on my xbrick - legend

I know this is a Holiday weekend for many of us, but we still need to keep the buzz going and eyes on the prize here!! Sure, I’ll admit to being slightly depressed by the extended wait for the F-117, but we can still contribute by throwing in our ideas, and our best wishes for it’s success…

Hopefully, a Target Release Date will soon be forthcoming… I could get thru another week or two of waiting, if I had that info on my hangar wall. :))
Also, we have the promise of a few short Videos of the F-117 in Flight, and during Landings…
I can just see that Drag Chute popping out as the Nighthawk touches down at Area-51 (Homey AFB).

Happy Holiday to AS, and to All, and please share your thoughts…
