Included .pbo files:
f117a_nighthawk.pbo
f117a_target.pbo
f117a_chute.pbo
gbu27.pbo


Extra controls:
DLIR sensor is activated via the action menu, to leave the sensor system once fired press "Space bar".

Waypoint System is activated by clicking on the map to set the waypoint marker. This waypoint can be moved
once set by clicking on a new location on the map. The MFD heading will update automatically.


Known issues:
01: GBU-27's can currently be fired with the weapon bay closed.
02: GBU-27's do not fall from lowered proxy position (weapon cradle down).
03: DLIR Sensor script can only be executed once per session.
04: Textures are VERY VERY WIP, no shaders, no normal/spec maps, just a simple diffuse.
05: When taking off, if the execution of the takeoff is not perfect the brake chute might deploy.
06: It is not known at this time if the scripts associated with the F-117A will work in MP.
07: The F-117A currently uses the A-10 soundset.
08: GBU-27's can still be fired outside of the DLIR script system, however this may cause damage to the plane.
09: Illuminated cockpit textures (used for day & night) appear a little too bright during daytime.
10: Loading BOOT BIOS screens may flicker when loading for the first time per session.
11: BETA Gauge (H-AOA) does not currently display H-AOA date but rather rudder data.
12: Currently only one waypoint may be created on the map using the waypointing system.
13: Pilot actions can be performed outside of the plane (ie opening the weapon bay or using the DLIR sensor)
14: Currently only 1 LOD, no shadow LOD and no wreck model.
