Would you like to see the F-117A as a Native FSX/P3D addition?

1) YES
2) NO
3)A-12 Instead! (No, not the SR-71, it's a different aircraft and being done by someone already...)

Just really curious your thoughts...recently have been reading a book about the history of Area 51, and a book about how to fly the SR-71....so it got me thinking! What say you!? I'm not asking on behalf of any particular developer, just out of my own need to know! ;)
 
YES !! YES !!!!!!! :redfire:
I would love a native F-117 WITH A VIRTUAL COCKPIT
I've been thinking of buying the Captain sim one, because I love how it looks externally. But I don't want to fly it with the VC of the Hornet.
There's another F-117 somewhere, but the graphics are really not up to FSX standards.

An F-117 with modern graphics, a good virtual cockpit, and TacPack features ! I would buy that instantly.

+1!! An F-117 is a must for any hangar!

Yes please... it's on my to-dev list also.. :) Especially now the Flight manuals are declassified and available online. :) Though with the queue, I think someone else might do one before us! lol.
 
Was thinking of purchasing an F-117 but decided it would be not as exciting to fly. By A-12 I assume you mean the CIA's single seat version of the Habu and not the A-12 Avenger2 stealth bomber, then an ethusiastic yes to the Cygnus. No offence to Glowing Heat but his Habu is too "easy" to fly. My fear is though a properly accusimmed or otherwise properly done Blackbird would be way to system heavy at least for my system.

I voted yes, just because it would be an exotic.

However, one must realize this airplane is almost exclusively a night flyer, so it would have to have great systems, especially NVG and Flir. I would also think a tacpack integration would be critical for use of smart weapons.

Sweet Lord, yes.....:redfire:
 
Good external model has a Captain sim in XLoad: http://www.captainsim.com/products/x187/117_exterior.html

Just no VC, only eye candy.

Id like to see full package with nice VC + TacPack for FSX. :jump:
 
I really love the external model of the Captain Sim F-117, as I wrote in my first message above.
The two screenshots posted here really show what I'm talking about. The textures are producing a very nice effect, and this golden canopy is really the icing on the cake.
The lack of VC is a shame. I can't understand why Captin Sim never provided one. They should have sold that F-177 separately, instead of 'bonus' with the Hornet...
 
I would love to release it, but I would need to get some permissions first. The specular map alpha uses a highly modified (by me) "borrowed" texture from the Realair Legacy. IMO they have the best specular glass textures...but even though it definitely NOT the stock texture that is working in those screens, I still used it as a base to start from so as to not reinvent the wheel. If someone knows them I'd release it with permission and credit to the base texture. I don't want to violate any EULA or become "that guy". Integrity is important to me!
 
Exactly. Maybe I'll try and make my own..well see how it turns out...at least the proof of concept will work...no promises though! ;) until then if a more qualified repainters wants to take a stab at it, it's all produced by the specular alpha channel. I'll start searching for a good photo of smudged glass that could be used as a replacement texture.
