Thanks for your help lqiyun! I prefer real photographs instead of computer generated ones (to have the highest level of realism), but these will help on certain parts.

I will see if I can re-configure the FDM and release a BETA...
I won't give a date, as I know from experience that it always has a delay ;)

Time for the first BETA release of the Lockheed F-117 Nighthawk. The word BETA is added becuase the plane is still in development.
- (almost) no textures are applied
- there's no working weapons system, nor weapon animations/models
- no 3D (nor 2D) cockpit
- air-air refuel might or might not work (need to test that)
- no sounds except from the default FlightGear ones
- gear is unrealistic and will be redrawn

Download the file through the link below, isntall it and check the wiki in the mean time for information about the aircraft, V speeds, keys and how to deploy the braking chute. Please let me know if you notice any problems, errors or faults. It's very important that you notify me, because it might have effect on further development.

DOWNLOAD and enjoy!

No comments? I can't test this plane on my own!

Little progress report:
- Bombs are implented and animated now (they ignite a wildfire when they hit the ground).
- Some instruments have been added (thanks to XIII for his F-14 instruments that fit the F-117).
- The bottom has been painted, atm only the American flag livery is available (see pictures below).

I always had the intention to make this livery, as it's the nicest livery on this plane ;)
More liveries (including the black one) will follow in the upcoming weeks. I will also release a new version soon.

Hi, i would like to test your model but the link ( http://flightgear.oxyhost.com/downloads ... /F-117.zip ) seems to be broken :( . Can you fix it?

Thank you!

There's a typo in your link (which is actually my fault, as I posted the wrong one above :oops: ). The link is fixed now.
I look forward to receiving your comments and/or tips.

Hello Gijs,

Looking at your snapshots of that nice model , one question: does the Chute is an original by you or is it a copy from the Blackbird model ?

It is an adoption from a CVS aircraft (not sure if it was the Blackbird though).
I defenitely need to do some more work on this aircraft, as it could look a lot more realistic with my current skills :p
