F117 A - Stealth Fighter 2
This game is a combat flight sim classic! I hate to call it a "game! The flight model is great . . . especially for it's time. Many realistic flight features are simulated. It is well worth the time and effort in mastering it. The manual is very good. Features include FLIR, AutoPilot, air brakes, gear, flaps, internal and external views, bomb tracking and much more.

The more or less average sequel to F-19 Stealth Fighter. From MobyGames description: "take America's premiere stealth fighter out for a spin in several battle areas, including the Persian Gulf, Cuba, and even Vietnam. There are various scenarios for each, with air-to-air or ground missions, in "cold war" and full-scale war situations. Players can build up their pilot ranks through completed missions and medals." F-117A is a solid sim overall, but doesn't really stand out from the crowd. It's fun initially, but the missions soon become repetitive, and there is little variation in terrain or sky graphics to hold your attention. The night missions in particular are more tedious than fun, as you will have to strain your eyes to make out objects in the dark, radar notwithstanding. Overall, a good attempt that could have been much better, given the pedigree of other MicroProse flight sim.
